No I did not ask to end the auction early. I usually do not even look at gloves on ebay that are past 1940's but have done pretty well selling the more modern stuff that I find lately. With that being said I saw the glove was just listed and that it was a Mantle and kinda knew those usually brought higher bids. When I clicked on the auction I noticed the glove was a heart of the hide,which did not appear in the listing, and thought to myself wow this glove probably sold for more than this when it was actually offered for sale in the 60's.
So I didn't even hit the buy it now right away. I went and asked dad what he thought and we even questioned the glove because we really have no idea what it is worth and still really don't. We did some searching and found no similar models so we thought it may be a more rare model. I guess now we can see from peoples nice comments along with the ones from members who thought I should feel guilty for getting such a good deal that it really is a good pick up. Can't someone get a lucky buy it now?
Ill post pics when the glove comes.
Thanks, Josh
