I agree. I think that Gehrig's character and legend adds to the meaningfulness of the glove, along with the uniqueness of the zipper back.
In the seller's description he states: "When I sold the first one several people emailed to tell me there were only two other examples known of. Are these numbers three and four?"
Don't take this the wrong way, I am not questioning his integrity, because he himself questions the accuracy of the statement. My question is, do others on the forum believe the glove to be that rare? We always kind of refer to the glove as the "holy grail" but that kind of rarity would surprise me. It seems as if it was a glove that Ken Wel marketed, I am not sure why there would be so few in existence.
