"Minty"

Postby Centerfield » June 4th, 2008, 8:52 pm

Seems there's a new descriptive classification for memorabilia, gloves in particular, of late…"minty". Why the hell would someone want to explain a glove’s taste? It's beyond me.

"Minty" is a play on words for mint, as in mint condition. I believe this is a term used in the "Collecting World" to describe an item in pristine condition.

I've worried over that word for years. Now the light has come on.

Good, I hoped you picked it up because I was laying it on pretty thick...
