Mears had 2 beautiful gloves in the box up on their site. The boxes were photo boxes of Joe Gordon and Rogers Hornsby. Great stuff!
As for Ebay, there were a lot of interesting things available. Here were my picks. From Mr. Pugskiddo Ted Kubiak’s auction we got to see a nice looking ambidextrous fielder’s glove from the 40's-50’s. This one fetched a nice sum of $2,838!
September also brought out 2 nice Stall & Deans. Both were endorsed and went for some wonderful prices. The first was a GC Alexander Speed model that looked pretty solid at $486.01!
The other was a Stall & Dean 8087 Charlie Gehringer. This particular glove featured a buckle back closure. The Gehringer went for $352.57.
Another interesting glove was a 3 finger model.. The seller stated it was a Velvotan (he thinks)Professional pitcher’s model, but a potential bidder was curious if it was possibly made by OK.
Sold for $380.99 and the verdict?
Also this month, I’m trying something else for the monthly rundown. As suggested by one of my fellow collectors, I will provide a photo of some type of memorabilia (uniform, trophy, cabinet photo, game, etc) that is non glove, but something that has interest to others who have branched out. This month I chose a huge 1917 Wright & Ditson figural cup with topper. This one brought $312.78. Nice looking trophy!
And finally, some of you may have missed the biggest glove sale of the month. It was in Australia and it was a Thriller of an auction! This one brought $49,000! You can’t "BEAT IT!” Were you in on this Vinny?
Upon seeing how well this one went, a friend of mine, Frederick, was asking me what auction house should he send his glove to. MASTRO? HUNT? All I know is that it would be a NIGHTMARE to catch a fly ball with this glove!!
