Just wanted to share how to identify the Model Glove and the Game Issued Glove from when Alex Rodriguez was in Seattle.
There are two ways to get Model Gloves. There was the Upperdeck Edition and then there was the Pepsi Promotion Glove. Both of them were originally bought with the Rawlings tag on them and were in mint condition. Many people have since then removed the tag for various reasons. Some are benign such as better display piece and to actually play baseball with it, Unfortunantly, some owners have decided to pass them off as game issued glove later.
Also the Upperdeck glove has RodriQuez misspelled.
Another thing is that the signatures are located in the same position on the model glove with no additional inscription. All Game Used Glove have additional inscription on them.
I will add this information to my website when it is up.
Hope this is helpful
