A rare one to start the month, the Rawlings Doak H3 glove. Looks to be in great shape. On most collectors want list. It sold for $795

Some more nice ones from Ted Kubiak.
A Nokona Grey Clarke model G15 glove sold for $1000. Looks primo, unique and an ultra rare one to boot. Interesting that the one piece back and front of the glove form side panels on the finger stalls. Also, a cool web for sure.

A really sweet VWD glove sold for $355.

A D&M model G62 "Imperator" sold for $257. One of the more popular base mitts on collectors want lists. Seems to be in good shape.

Took a chance on an online estate sale where only the back of the glove was visible. After purchase and pick-up, the front became the star. Still needs some cleaning, but at $125 absolutely no complaints

[mikesglove]

Great find Carmi!
An OK Mfg. Joe Dimaggio military issue glove sold for $375. It's in great shape. Probably will clean up to be a beaut!

A 1967-68 Wilson model 2005 glove sold for $327. Looks to be near mint.

A D&M Hal Schumacher G9 glove sold for $237. An interesting oddity with the double button wrist strap.

Carmi - congrats on that glove -its splendid!

Some nice leather this month. Looks like their have been some good buying opportunities with some lower prices realized.

[cbrandis]

totally agree. for some reason, lots of really nice stuff out there at decent prices. that Reach was more luck than anything, but that's the way it sometimes goes. cleaned up really nicely.

A Stokes and McGown base mitt sold for $195. Looks close to near mint. Its made by a leather working company in Australia.

[mikesglove]

Reg'lar Fellers glove box sold for $22. Cool graphics. The box held a Walter Johnson RF47 glove. I believe this was manufactured by Goldsmith.

[cbrandis]

this ambi glove was part of an auction lot that sold for $502. The rest of the lot? who knows. not much. (OK, A Goldsmith Frank McCormick mitt and some Seattle balls and ornaments)

[mikesglove]

Nice find Carmi.
A Simmons duck web glove sold for $1324. Made by Rawlings for Simmons Hardware. This one has seen a lot of use but still retains its webs. The blue and gold patch reads Simmons American.

A D&M sewn web G27 glove sold for $262. Nice looking model.

[mikesglove]

Some MIA from July.
A Rawlings Mickey Mantle XFB19 base mitt. Mint condition. Was $1850.

Some boxed gloves originally from the Legendary Auction. Spalding Dimaggio was $1299, Folsom Joe Gordon was $369, Diamond glove was $479, My fav was the Reach George Earnshaw at $699. Where did they go, back in the vault or out into the world?

[mikesglove]

More from Ted. Some really nice, early models, and as Brett and Carmi said, some great buys. In addition to the ones I already posted for July, here are the others. I thought it would be interesting to present them in a collage. Quite a collection auctioned off.

Cool collage - thanks for doing that Mike. Summer is usually a bad time to sell on eBay - people definitely got some good deals from Ted's listings.
