Card #17: Ted Williams Etched In Stone

In the early 90s Ted Williams created a card company that produced some really nice looking classy cards of legendary players and fan favorites.

There was an insert set called Etched in Stone of which Clemente made the checklist.

This card was part of my COMC purchase I have talked about.  The front of the card features an action shot of Clemente that I haven't seen appear on any other forms of cardboard.  The nearly full bleed photo design has a stone design in the top right corner which adds to the classy look of the card.

The back features a lot of information about the 1960 season and the World Series Champions Pittsburgh Pirates.

There's a bunch more Clemente cards from the Ted Williams Company that I hope to chase down as the collection grows.

  1. I busted a box of 1993 Ted Williams a few years ago. The entire Etched in Stone 10 card set is dedicated to Clemente. It's kinda like the UD Heroes insert sets from the 90's.

  2. Hey, it's Banny from the HerschelHoard.com. I have the 1993 Clemente Etched in Stone, ES-6, where he's making a catch up against a chain link fence, if you're interested in it.
