This site is terrific!
Posted: August 29th, 2006, 11:20 pmI was so glad to have come across this site via the links on GloveCrazy, what a terrific forum.
I have been collecting gloves for about 6 years. Perhaps because I have lived in Northern-Central-Western NY most of my life, my favorite gloves are Ken Wel brand mitts. In addition to that I have a number of trap-eze mitts. Right now I'm mostly interested in acquiring a white fielder's mitt, preferably a D&M, and more full size Dazzy Vance Ken Wel brand mitts. I have to confess though, I've been compiling a PSA graded 1973 Topps set for the last 8 months that has taken me off the glove circuit - but as Arnold once said, "I'll be back".
Anyway, I've already learned a lot from the site. The Permatex Orange idea for cleaning is great and seemed to work well with a buckle back I just picked up at a flea market. This is the best idea I've seen for getting out the ground in black grime. Thanks for making the site available.
