Just got a great deal on a brand new Rawlings R7120B on ebay for my junior league son. Got it for a song, on a second chance offer. The blurb said it was a part of the Gold Glove series ... wow, what a deal, I thought ... well, turns out of course, that the RSeven series is NOT a part of the GG series. In hindsight, how could I not have noticed that the model number was not GG-R7120B? How careless of me ... I should have paid closer attention.
However, it seems to be a very well-made glove. The tag shows a retail price of $99.99, so, I got a mid-line priced glove (which would have been a high-priced glove at regular price for this low-paid teacher ) at a significant discount ... good, heavyweight leather, good web, good thicker than usual lacing ... IT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE A GG! ... plus my son loves the glove ... NO COMPLAINTS HERE! I contacted the ebay-er and told him what I found ... no real complaints, he may just want to change the description on his other gloves. Like I said, I should have paid closer attention ... I knew better, I just thought I was getting a terriffic deal!
ANYWAY ... I am having a hard time finding info on the RSeven series online. Is this a new series? It's not really a part of the Gold Glove series, is it? Anybody else out there heard of them?
