The glove of the week is the highly coveted Speed Model from Stall & Dean with a Grover Cleveland Alexander (aka "Old Pete") endorsement. I think my favorite aspect of this glove, along with being a S&D make and being of top notch quality is the endorsement that is stamped onto the the thumb: "I use and recommend this model....Grover C. Alexander". Along with the likes of Cy Young, Ty Cobb, and Walter Johnson, GC Alexander is a prized pre-war glove endorsers. This glove was picked up using the BIN feature, snagging $750. Maybe that would be a good topic of conversation, top 5 pre-war endorsed models?
A nearly mint Mickey Mantle MMF model went for $399. It looks like the only flaw is some lacing that is missing on the back side of the glove. While everyone covets the XPG-6, and for good reason, the MMF is a good looking glove (although it is a shame it doesn't have leather piping).
A solid Rawlings HH model went for $241. This one looks like with a little cleaning, the leather appears very dulled in the pics, it could be a beautiful glove. No doubt the HH makes the must have list for any collector.
And in the "what were they thinking" category goes a Cooper Black Diamond model with a custom rolled lace web that went for the inexplicable sum of $150.
Other great gloves...Last week I missed G'works MacGregor Dick Drott model, an absolute stunner. The stampings in the MacGregors and Sonnetts really make the glove stand-out, especially when they are in condition like the Drott model. To the right of that is a Marathon Bill Lee model. I would have guessed it was a Hutch model with the styling of the wrist strap. I thought this had a great look to it from the back of the glove with the black piping and buckle. Too bad it was a lefty, it went for just $124.
