Cards 98 & 99: Stone 1 and Stone 2

The 1990s had a lot of brands that offered nice looking sets featuring former players.  I wish that Topps would make a set similar to what the Ted Williams Company of cards was doing back in 1993.

Way back in January 2018, for card post #17, I showed off a card from the Ted Williams Company insert series called Etched in Stone.  You can revisit that post here

It has been quite some time since that post, but I am ready to show off the first two cards of that set.

This particular card (ES1) discusses Roberto's youth and growing up.

This card is the second in the series.

The back of this card talks of how the Dodgers signed Clemente as a teenager and how Clemente used his nickname of Momen when initially asked by the scout who he was.

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.
