circa 1950's Rawlings "Duke Snider" model DS sold for $590 on ebay. I knew when I bookmarked the glove a week ago it would be big but I didn't think $590. The rare black and gold Rawling's patch is like icing on the cake with this top of the line near mint beauty

Mike, I'm looking forward to seeing that Newman-Stern glove in person, as well as a Johnny Kucks glove I bought from Murph. I'm in Florida til April, but the gloves were sent to my home in Jersey. My interest in the glove was more about the brand, not so much Al Rosen. As usual, I haven't found any gloves in Florida so far.

Newman-Stern model gloves were made by Denkert. Sometimes with hard to find endorsers. I have one with Monte Irvin.
