The answer, really hasn't changed much in the last five years or so.
From left to right, top shelf: Gus Bell, GC10, Ernie Lombardi Goldsmith top of line mitt and a Ken Wel Walker Cooper. Below that, an unbelievably nice Joe Gordon MW glove that that is so shiny and nice that it looks like it's made of ceramice, no kidding. Doc Golomb relaced it for me.
Across from me, three original Cincy reds pennants (right I'm better Red than dead). A MacGregor Goldsmith mint Eddie Miller premium glove and above that a Johnny Edward personally signed MacGregor catchers mitt
and above that, what I feel, is one of the last Draper Maynard gloves made at their original Plymouth, NH home, a G37 but no player name. Then to the right of that: a Wichita Sporting Goods glove from the "Great Find" and another better quality W S Goods glove signed by the Yankee pitching great Allie Reynolds (no endorsed glove for Allie we think).
Then over behind me to a Johnny Bench heart of the hide mitt signed by Bench; a J. C. Higgins signed by all three of that Great All-Time St. Louis Cardinals outfield of Enos Slaughter, Terry Moore and Stan Musial. Two HOFers and Moore was considered the top defensive centerfield of his day along with Joe D.
Picture wise with those: a great shot of the legendary Minnie Minoso comforting a little boy who had developed Leukemia. A warm and wonderful picture of the great Minoso.
Little mixture after that of some great Cincy replca Bucky Walters Reds uniform sent by my buddy Col. Dave Grob, a Globetrotter jersey signed by my good friend Marques Haynes, and a jersey worn by another newly developed friend who played on the Italian National Baseball team.
None of these probably worth more than a couple of hundred dollars but worth millions to me. Cherished.
I'd like to hear from some other glovers about "what they wrap themselves up with every day. Some items that mean more to them than they do to the marketplace.
