Best of January 2011

I really like this era of gloves because of when I grew up. Plus the Sonnett gloves I've owned had some really interesting factory markings. This one is no exception. Last month there was the Sonnett with the "Bat Web" and this newly auctioned Sonnett glove from ebay features the "A Bomb 300" web. Nice "Velvotan" leather and a "James Davenport" endorsement. It went for BIN of $99. A sweet glove if you are a Sonnett collector.

That is a great looking Sonnett, Mike. Always liked the Blue Ribbon they stamped on some of their gloves.
Here's a Macgregor from that era. Hank Aaron PM G113 that ended at $42.





Joe Gordon glove with picture box for $150.





Scarce Waite Hoyt Goldsmith G20 at $450.





Oops...I jumped the gun on that cool Joe DiMaggio Pro Form. Sorry.

Recently ended:

Spalding "Workman Style" that Murph pointed out at $141.





Black horsehide 1" web for $175.49.





Full web with 2 tags for $156.50. Looks like it had raised or inverted seams along the fingers?

OK Mfg Stan Musial model autographed by The Man went for $75.





A nice looking Mantle XPG20 for $171.06 on 23 bids.

I was bidding on the double snap but somebody else was 1 click bidding faster than me!

Honus Wagner Sporting Goods brand Billy Myers buckle back went for $108.39.

Here is one from a few days ago. Someone must have snapped this up with a BIN within an hour of its listing. A beautiful white leather Simmons American full web high quality glove for $60 on ebay. Quite a bargain and contrast to the white Victor glove approaching $300 and the Reach glove above.

Sure enough, I step away from my computer just for a few minutes....aarrggh!

A scarce Monte Irvin Denkert was a $249.95 BIN.





Neat tag on this Fairplay mitt. $21.50.

[briggs86]

Hey guys! Curious ab the fair play mitt. My first vintage baseball jersey I received from my father was a fair play and I had been watching since day one of finding on eBay. I was going to buy it and frame both items to give to him for his birthday. Obviously some sentimental value, so please let me know if anyone on here picked it up as I will take care of them. Please pm if so. Jared.

Nice looking gloves with the endorsements of two Milwaukee Braves greats:
Eddie Mathews XPG10 @ $57.67.





Warren Spahn XPG3 @ $102.50.





Plus a Reach crescent pad with cut out in the palm @ $233.50.

[okdoak]

Well, for anyone who hasn't already heard, the famous beige sewn web did well. $861 on 28 bids.



Bet nobody on the forum was following this one, though . Mint Willie McCovey Sonnett ended at $261.78.

[murphusa]

I was in on the McCovey to a little over $100.00 Surprized me it got so high. I thought the economy was bad

[vintagebrett]

That's a strong price for the McCovey - the Sonnett model is very common and usually shows up in pretty decent shape. Granted this one looked unused but if you're patient they come around.

Sonnett gloves still rockin' the joint! Model MC "Mickey Cochrane" for $350 on ebay. May have been another quick BIN. Block letter endorsement but mitt's in great shape!
