An early crescent pad/buckle web catchers mitt sold for $364. One doesn't find this configuration very often. It's a large, midline model in very nice shape.
An early full web glove sold for $227. It has an intact wool lining and overall in excellent shape. Not sure how it was identified as a Spalding. Coat button replacement at the wrist, no cloth patch or markings on the front. As the song goes, "there's a place in the world for a gambler". lol
If you are going to spend that kind of money, this one may be an option. An early Reach full web white leather glove sold for $217. Leather lining, cloth patch, overall in pretty nice shape.

Yup, you now get to pay the hosting fees. just kidding - appreciate all the work you put into your research and the educational impact you have on the community. Come to the National in Chicago next summer and we’ll treat you right.
I was watching the Laver Cup held in Chicago this week. A packed house every day& night (20,000+ seat arena). I think the players were a little overwhelmed. I can see why the National keeps going back there. It's a happening place!
