That Docglove's got a memory like nobody's business!
I was curious about the Concepcion glove as we had listed an R400 for the 1977 Catalog Source Book, not R4000 so I musta left a "0" off the end. It shows as a $60 glove and last among the American mades: XFCB, ($84) XPG3, Pro 1000, XFG6, XFG12, Reggie Jackson at $64.
Curious story about Concepcion gamer that showed up in an Ohio Play it Again Sports store and purchased by one of our long time glovers from that area. He showed up to have the glove signed at a show by Davey. Ran into a problem. Dave looked at the glove and said, "This glove was stolen from me." Whoa! Our guy explained and got the glove backed from an unhappy Concepcion.
I had seen the glove, a Rawling XPGC I think. Virtually no padding in the heel.
