Seems there's a new descriptive classification for memorabilia, gloves in particular, of late…"minty". Why the hell would someone want to explain a glove’s taste? It's beyond me.

"Minty" is a play on words for mint, as in mint condition. I believe this is a term used in the "Collecting World" to describe an item in pristine condition.

I've worried over that word for years. Now the light has come on.

Terrible thread. The guy who began it should be banned, or at least suspended...

Minty is sort of like mint but not quite.
