This past January I bought my first glove after being away from the hobby for a few years. Surprisingly, I went back to buying vintage baseball cards. I've enjoyed collecting PSA graded cards, having bought and sold complete graded 73 and 75 Topps sets, bought and sold a few hundred HOFers, and am now on to just HOF rookie cards. Part of the appeal is the reasonable certainty of what you are buying (at least w graded cards) and the easy buying and selling of graded material.
I've started searching on gloves again and got lucky buying a beautiful glove from ebay seller socalsports. The satisfaction of putting a great glove on your hand is unrivaled, well, at least in collecting. Fortunately, SOCALSPORTS delivered a great glove. If it had come in stiff or worn in the palm I may have opted out again. I've got some additional display space in my basement and am now looking for some neatly stamped catcher's mitts.
Nice to be back on this site. Glad to see glove of the month is still going strong (check out the very first post in that section).
Thanks to SOCALSPORTS for a great transaction, wish I bought your KenWel baseman's mitt!
