several times, i have bought small lots. but each time there was one particular glove I was after that, thankfully, all you eagle-eyed collectors might have missed. Examples include a nasty $24 five-glove lot that had 4 gloves that went straight to trash. The 5th was a beautiful Lutze-style fat finger. Pulled a couple of Mantles and a Hornsby from larger lots. But then again, have bought a lot or two that were pretty much useless. But luckily, didn't pay that much.
It's a gamble. Sometimes a (literal) crap shoot. But the fun is in the hunt.
