A 1920's Wilson Western model 564 zipper heel glove sold for $305. Shows wear. Zipper pull tab missing. A rare glove nonetheless.

A nice looking 1920-30's D&M base mitt sold for $109.

A 1950's Spalding "Frank Bolling" Personal Model glove sold for $145. An early version and a top glove in its day. It's in good original condition.

A 1960's Wilson A2010 glove sold for $240. Double hinge web, shooting star model in great condition.

An unused 1960's MacGregor "Willie Mays" model GC12 glove sold for $439. Possibly a blem or factory second. The pocket stamping looks off register. Still, a must have for a Mays glove collector.

A Rawlings "Steve Garvey" model DCT sold for $200. An updated version of the original DCT model. It's in great condition.

I was waiting in the car for my flea market companion this morning. I was perusing ebay on the phone and saw a NOS 1960 Nokona "Don Hoak" glove and picture box. I bookmarked it and made a mental note to check it out more fully when I got back. I saw a lot of Franklin, Louisville Slugger and Easton gloves at the flea. I ended up with a nice Frank Lloyd Wright picture book, Senco nail gun and a Husky precision knife kit. It was a beautiful day to be out and about early. No such luck when I got back and checked out the Hoak glove. It was too nice to hang around long. It sold for about $300.

Sounds like my day at flea market except the only thing I went home with was two whiny kids because there was no Lego to be found either.

Yesterday was a little better for me. While I saw enough gloves to field an entire little league. I only bought three: Mint A2000 XLO, a decent Bench late 60's RL-10, and a beat up Nokona basemitt. I love a project.
I have an entire week to scour all the antique stores with my 19 month old wing man Charlie. Nothing like a good staycation.

A 1930's Dubow "Lou Gehrig" model base mitt sold for $995. This one is great looking! Excellent leather color, lightly used condition, clear, sharp factory markings and wrist protector still intact.

A super nice 1950's Rawlings "Harvey Haddix" model HH glove sold for $302

A 1950's Rawlings "Stan Musial" PM Supreme glove sold for $138. Looks to be in great shape.

A 1950's Macgregor Goldsmith model SG "Snare" glove sold for $151. A seller's dream scenario. 40 bids with a bidding war at the end.
A unique looking glove.

A circa 1900 Reach webless crescent heel glove sold on ebay. Adult sized model with an intact tag. It shows wear and a little damage but Jeez, $735? A couple sold close to 3K recently. This was a "no doubt" webless model with no forefinger seam. How many of those are out there with a manufacturers tag? Probably can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

I'm thinking one of the reasons it didn't go real high is the fact the listing was tough to find...I heard about the glove from another collector and that one was up on eBay, but never found the listing myself, never saw the glove...so assuming it wasn't listed well and probably many others missed it as well...but maybe I'm wrong and I'm I just couldn't find it or over-looked it;).

Nah. The listing was fine. Had the right keywords in the header. And it had plenty of watchers. Clearly the condition scared the high bidders off. Ink all over. Tears. Torn lining. That is what kept the price down, IMO. But for the skilled craftsmen out there, with a new lining and ink clean-up, I'd agree with Mike in that it was a steal relative to the other recent webless sales. Cool to see these pop up. Heck, it's a webless. Even as is it makes for a killer display piece.

A MacGregor "Pete Rose" personal model glove sold for $119. Shows a fair amount of wear. A USA model not often seen.

A Rawlings "Books Robinson" XPG3 HOH glove sold for $151. A fairly common model. This one is in excellent condition.

A Rawlings "Warren Spahn" XPG3 HOH glove & box & booklet sold for $499. Pretty strong price.

A lot of nice modern era gloves this month.
Another MacGregor "Willie Mays" model GC12 glove sold for $378. Looks lightly used and in great original condition.

A Nokona "Chico Carrasquel" model CC1 glove sold for $199. A top model in its day and not often seen at auction.

A 1950's D&M "Bob Thomson" model 933 glove and picture box sold for $405. The three finger glove is good quality and mint. A strong price for the combo.

A circa 1930 Reach "Sam Hale" glove sold for $500. Well used but all intact and in decent shape. The glove features a nice tag and the trademark wide wrist strap. It's big claim to fame is the patented strap web that extends to the middle finger stall. The glove was expensive in its day and not often seen at auction.

A circa 1910 Ratsch Duk-Fut glove sold for $1776. Exterior in good shape. The inner lining has some tears. The celluloid button is very nice
