hey guys went to the Baltimore Orioles Fan fest today with my daughter and had a chance to look at some game used gloves of some hof's and some orioles greats, i took some pictures and thought i would share with you guys.
jim palmer game used glove
sorry about the huge post but thought you guys would be interested.
Note the XPG6 X Dave McNally glove, same basic model as the Mays glove (see my post on the Koufax glove) at Heritage. But this one has the "V -Anchored Web" Mays XPG6 X glove had the speed trap web and the store model XPG6 has a Triple Anchored web, showing that this basic style could have variable webs put in.
Can you make out anything in the palm of the Palmer Spalding, might be an autograph player personal model?
i dont have it in front of me, but i remember looking for a model, and couldnt see one. But there is a banner hanging up of palmer in the stadium and he is wearing this exact same glove, which is cool, for saying its his gamer.
Great pictures! Must have been a thrill to see those gamers close up. Joe's excellent Catalog Source Book has Spalding's unendorsed Professional Model as their top glove from 1970-74, first as a 42-213 then a 42-2131. Could be one of those?
