Yes I thought so too - but my wallet was reluctant - thought it would have been great to collect wutographs on it - but I didn't know if it was for real or someone's spray paint maybe ???

With the stamping detail I would think that it is real.

The fact is the tanner does not do much more than spray paint the leather. I have seen of few gold glove hides and the gold does not stay on very well.

LOL, here's a funny one for you guys. There is a guy in my softball league that wears a gold glove like that! :shock: It's not a rawlings though, but me and my buddies were trying not to crack up when we saw him in centerfield using it during a game.

Dude has to be good to be wearing a gold glove.

Haha, I will have to get a closer look at it to make out what brand it is. At the night games the thing shines so ridiculously bright under the lights it's hilarious.
