Hopefully you will have done well with this one.
The thing that you have going for you is that it is a lefty. Even though it is the proper hand, many collectors are right-handed, so that tend to buy what they could use, as opposed to what the player actually used. Lefty collectors do really well, especially on eBay since most of us just let those pass. I only have a couple of lefty's in my collection, but I have passed on tons of them.
I hear you about the quality vs. quantity thing. I used to have more in quantity, but I have sold off gloves so that I could have a nicer, more expensive gloves that I really want.
But it's a fine line that we walk...many glove collector's...myself included, can become a bit obsessed, so when we see a glove that we "must have", or a nice glove at a good price, you can't just let it go by!
Let us know what the glove looks like when you get it...

I only have a few gloves I have ever spent over $100 on and saw most of the TG-12's going for well over what I paid for here, and some advertised for well over $250. I don't have the resources to splurge and by gloves in that price range. My collecting has gotten more expensive as I learn about what I really want and have started getting more quality than quantity, so I hope this turns out. There looks to be a small tear, and maybe this will be a cheap fix and give me a chance to try out Kenny Jenkins. I have spoke with him on the phone but never really had a glove worth investing the extra money in.
