Two oldies at auction. First, a TOC "webless" glove sold for $2173. Condition was fair. Seams on both the thumb and forefinger.
Second, a "Full Finger Tipped"(??) glove sold for $3185. It is great for what it is historically, the last of the supersized and padded gloves used by catchers in the late 1880's before the advent of the Decker mitt and pillow style. It's a wonderful example of the Joseph Sauer's patented design of 1888. The super rare glove originally surface on ebay some years ago and was discussed at length on the forum site.
