Well it is not every week that a Doak-3 pops up for auction, nonetheless two! That being said, it had to be a good week on eBay, even if one of the Doaks was missing its wrist strap.
So here is the nicer of the two Doaks. This glove really combines a couple of glove attributes that are near and dear to our heart – the Doak endorsement and the Lutzke style finger pattern. This great combination makes for a rare glove indeed. A number of great examples of the Lutzke style glove can be seen on JD’s website. This one sold for $626 on a whopping 28 bids. I’ve got to say, it seems like we’ve seen three finger gloves sell for a boatload in the past, so this one feels like a reasonably priced glove.
Here is our second of the Doaks. This one is missing its wrist strap, but still earned $269 on 20 bids.
An absolutely classic looking AJ Reach split finger, full web fielder’s mitt. The glove pocket is darkened, but the back side of the glove looks like it will clean up very nicely. The glove seems to have been a reasonable buy at $251 on 13 bids.
From eBay seller THELUCKYDOGKIND, we have another classic looking AJ Reach model buckleback/web basemitt. This glove looks super solid – good patch, piping, lining and buckles. . Another great buy for $226 on 19 bids.
And for the Bargain of the Week, let’s try a Spalding #133 Dimaggio model. This glove is a staple in our hobby. I know I’ve said it before, but I wish this glove had a patch. Otherwise, a great glove combining the iconic Dimaggio and Spalding names, and a great design. I think this one may be the victim of poor picture taking. Just $72 on 13 bids, I would have expected this glove to sell for nearly twice as much.
