Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

What's up with this?

The seller has a zero feedback. I wonder if this is the one who bought it last month or if this is the original seller and they got it back. Unfortunately, it sold to far back to search. I see this seller joined ebay on October 18, which was a week after this glove sold the first time. He's taking a chance by not having a reserve. It may not go for $7600 this time.

This is funny. Total scam.

I saved the pictures from the original listing. These new pictures are the same ones used again.

That's what I was thinking. And they are the same pictures from the original auction which Jerry won. Someone's bid on this nonexistent glove already.

Hi guys,

I was looking at the pics and they do seem to be a match to the previous auction right down to the nicks and dings in the glove. I would think if the same seller had gotten this glove back as a return that they would clarify why the same glove is back on ebay. JMHO As much as I would like a tornado palm like this one, I will pass on it.

I sent the seller a question and asked how long he has had the glove. This should be an interesting answer.

Hopefully no one gets scammed out of any money with this listing. Not only did he use the pics from the tornado auction, but he copied the entire listing word for word, errors included. I can assure you, he does not have the glove in the picture, trust me.

Just a sneak peek, because the cleaning isn't complete yet, but here's a pic of how the stampings on the glove currently look. Hell of a transformation thanks to Mr. Peebles!

That looks fantastic! The stampings really look great for the age.

Wow Great job on clean-up!

Look forward to seeing the completed job.

Make sure you go to the ebay listing and click "report item" under the view sellers other item spot. If this thing runs it's course someone is going to get taken for some big bucks.

Good call - this is easy to do. Can't believe people would actually bid on this. I guess our hobby has arrived since this happens in the card community quite often.

The listing has disappeared, taken down by eBay. Very nice work, guys!

Glad to see that ebay removed it. The last time I checked, it was at $157 with 4 bidders. Good thing that the scumbag didn't offer it as a BIN.
