The crazy thing is that he bought it off ebay for 450 or something close to that. It is a beautiful glove.

I'd be to tempted that it might become a gamer...

not a real jeter. notice the period after his name on the glove

Good eyes Martin! I missed that the first dozen times....that X lacing had me hypnotized

Are we thinking salesman sample or promotional glove..?

Im thinking promotional.. sweet glove either way

These gloves were offered on Steiner Sports' website around 2003. They are the same deal they have now for Jeter, Schilling ect only that was his glove at the time.

I currently have the newer style Jeter with his name on it from Steiner. I got it for $200 because I originally ordered the 5XBCB, but they did not have it in stock. Long story short, it took me 6 months to get the damn glove so they gave me a major discount.

I have this NWT beauty for less than half of that 5X if anyone needs it Nice thick leather. 5 dot...Tags read 1999

doubtful that jeter used this one, but still cool

doc, were you in on the design of the "X-lacing" on the back of the web crotch? form or function(?)

The X's were added as those seams was constantly ripping out. Yes I did that. But I don't have to tell you that double welting was real hard. I wanted to look like the Yankee pin stripe, I'm glad that model went to the Philipines. And I added the dots after the name without Rawlings or the dealers knowledge just for the purpose that I would know if it was a gamer or not.

truly awesome...

Doc, looks like there's only room for the walking foot between those welts, if that much..

Just curious Doc, What kind of industrial leather sewing machine do you use?

All are 111w and141w singer indrustrial machines from the 40's. Still the best for that purpose as still have steel drives and gears, newer machines with belt drives don't hold up well with this heavy of leather

way cool doc. i know the v-anchoring (as cool as it looks with the clean pocket) seemed to get stretched out and puckered on the finger backs. is that why they aren't being used on gloves anymore? i noticed that the modern proDCTP has the v-anchoring on the thumb.
