Collection of five small collectible toys, each depicting Roberto Clemente.  Collection includes: 1) 1970 Chemtoy Superballs #8047 Blue Background (2): Pair of rubber super balls measuring 1 1/8" in diameter with a blue disc inside that features a photo of the player.  As is the case with these, the superballs are typically found yellowed with age, as the rubber becomes discolored.  Otherwise strong.  2) 1970 Chemtoy Superballs #8047 Red Background: Scarce variation depicting Clemente on a red background.  The Chemtoy superballs consisted of 285 different players, with American Leaguers printed on red discs and National Leaguers printed on blue.  Clemente was initially released on a red disc, and the error was subsequently corrected.  The red Clemente is more scarce.  This example is in VG condition with some evidence of use.  3) 1968 MLB Marble (2): pair of MLB marbles featuring Clemente, each in VG/EX condition.  Five pieces total.
