Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Haven't had a contest for a few months and I had some new shirts made up so it's time for another one - let's get all those lurkers out in the open and posting!

Simple game this month - you post, you are entered to win. I have three shirts - (1) XL and (2) XXL - at the bottom of your post just indicate what size you'd prefer if you're a winner. I'll randomly select three names out of a hat and those people will get the shirts - shipping is on me. Shirt is dark blue with Bon Tober symbol on chest in grey - sharp looking shirt that is quite comfortable.

Ok, here is the game. You are given three gloves. Your instructions are to keep one, sell one and give one away. No rationale or explanation needed - your gloves, you get to choose what you do with them. The three gloves you have been given are:

1) Pre 1900 tipped finger crescent model - a sharp looking white leather glove, brown tips, hardly any use - stored in a trunk at the perfect temperature for the past 120 years.

2) D&M model G41 Babe Ruth glove mint with original box

2) Ken-Wel Lou Gehrig zipperback model in mint condition - no box but a great looking Ken-Wel hang tag attached.

What are you going to do?

Contest ends Monday, April 23rd.

Keep the tipped, sell the Ruth and give the Gehrig away.

Give Away, Gehrig

Sell, Ruth

Keeper, Tipped

Keep the tipped finger...sell the Ruth...give the Gehrig away...give it to Jerry as he turned his over in the scenario ...perhaps it will curry some favor and aide in prying something away from him down the road

XXL

XL

first off, I stand behind the others who replied so I can get their give-aways.
Now that I have about 8 gloves, not 3, I give away the dupes.
But if pressed, I keep the gehrig, sell the tipped, give away the ruth.

I definately keep the Ken-Wel, sell the D&M, and donate the pre-1900 glove to the HOF.

Ken (XL)

I'll play:

Keep the tipped finger
Sell the G41 & box
Give the Gehrig away

size XL please

Sorry, I've decided to keep all of them.

I'm with Kenny Well, i would give the tipped finger to the HOF, but sell the Gehrig and keep the Ruth.
Dan

I would give away the tipped glove to someone with the means to preserve it.

I'd sell the Ruth, although reluctantly.

Keep the Gehrig, because it is one I've always wanted.

XL

One thing I learned from my collection of mostly worthless 1980-90's baseball cards. Keep only the old stuff. So I'd keep the tipped, sell the Ruth and give away the Gehrig. XL

Keep the Ruth
Sell the Tipped
Give the Gehrig

XL

Keep the tipped.
Sell the Ruth, but it hurt.
Give away the Gehrig (never really a need)
