Just posted on ebay with low $49.99 starting bid:

Compare to the one listed for $160 at:

Mine looks to be in much better shape with less fading of the original dark color.

I'm selling in through isoldit.com who is very reliable and ships quickly.

Hate to burst anyone's bubble, so I'll just have to settle for raining on their parades...

The guy listing that mitt for $160 is delusional. $49.99 is...excessive wishful thinking.

The TMC mitts are common mitts from the 60's-70's era that hold no particular collector value. They are neither antique, rare nor made in the USA.

Top dolllar for such a mitt, on a good day with the stars aligned just right, might be about $15-20. In short, the auction is charging more for shipping than the mitt is actually worth. Your eBay fees for running this auction are likely more than the mitt is worth.

But, we're talking eBay here and stranger deals have happened. Maybe you'll find that one buyer who had one of these as a kid and is determined to find another- price be darned.
