Has Anyone Bought One of the Pinckard Gloves?

I'd not heard of this brand of Pinckard gloves but this is an interesting web site:

I have a pinckard 12" with a modified trap, and it is a great glove! I have talked with Bill Pinckard many times and he is a true baseball man. He only uses the best leather for everything, his baseballs and his gloves. I run an indoor baseball facility and got some of his baseballs for one of my pitching machines, and considering that the machine is supposed to use only flat seemed baseballs, his raised seemed baseballs have lasted better than others on the market that were specifically designed for wheeled machines.

The glove is about 10 years old and it is beautiful condition still. The only thing that I have had to do to it is relace the web. If I had to compare it to a glove out there right now, it would be of the same quality as the Rawlings Heart of the Hide gloves. Not quite the level of the Pro Preffered. The leather is still soft yet very firm, it is the best middle infielder glove that I have ever had, out of the 20+ modern game gloves that I have had it is in the top 5 or 6.
