Those Heritage gloves from a few years back are really nice. They have thick leather and quality construction that I would rate right up there with the Nokona AMG series gloves. They sold for about the same price back then, in the $140 range.
For whatever reason, the Heritage series was cheapened after the first few years they were introduced, with thinner materials, and the price was dropped to around $80. The most recent Heritage models seem to have made a jump back to a better quality- and more expensive- glove.
I have one of the early Heritage models. It is the XPG125S which is the 12.5 inch pattern version. I bought it brand-new with the intention of using it, but have several gamer gloves I love and never got around to breaking it in. I played catch with it one time. Plus, this glove is so darn pretty that I didn't want to get it dirty!
I bought mine from the eBay Rawlings glove dealer "BillyFitz" about two years ago. He might be able to find one for you.
