Nice glove but unfortunately it had an unlisted flaw.I hope the buyer inquired.The circle R patch looked like it may have had some ink.I asked the seller ans he responded that it wasn't ink but the patch was worn thru exposing the leather beneath.He apologized for the poor pictures and forgetting to mention the flaw.It's still one of the nicest around but a far second to the Glove Works example.

hmmm....musta missed that auction. any pix?

It definitely had ink - a glove that pristine would've shown wear on the leather before the patch wore though like that. The way that the embroidery was worn away is a dead giveaway of a hacked up cleaning job - a bit too rough with a brush and/or using too abrasive of a cleaning agent.

Yeah, a minor flaw and an easy fix (and easily overlooked on a glove in that nice overall condition), but I agree that the seller should've disclosed it.

This was also my pick and i had it on watch because I have the same glove - not in as good of condition though... Glad to see it bring a nice price!

The buyer of the XPG 3 Brooks Robinson (Rudy828) evidently didn't love the glove, he has listed it:

The new listing doesn't mention the flaw in the circle R either. He is asking less than he paid for it however.
