Special Nominee for Glove of the Week - November
Posted: November 12th, 2007, 8:40 amI think this glove deserves it's own thread for Glove of the week:

This Stall and Dean Ty Cobb glove sold for a hammer price of $3250 in Hunt's Louisville Slugger auction over the weekend. With the 15% buyers premium, the total for this mitt comes to $3737.50! I thought about dropping a bid on this glove but I would have been now where near the closing cost. I wonder if Hunt's had taken the time to clean up the glove a little bit, would it have gone higher?
Conversely, a very nice Reach Babe Ruth Home Run Special only went for $500 in the auction. There was still silver in the stampings - whoever snagged that one looks like they got a pretty good deal.
