Amazing amount of wear, drying, and cracking for a glove supposedly stolen while it was in use and hidden away for years. What a load of hooey.

That is without a doubt one of the if not the best story I have ever seen on ebay except for maybe the guy that cut up 300 game worn jersey cards and glued all the pieces to make his own custom greats of the game jersey, nothing beats that.

i was bidding on that shirt, the guy ended the auction because he wasn't going to be happy with the final price.

The seller claims Ruth used racial slurs and was a thief. Nice.

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

I am not sure what is worse, the companies that hacked up the game used memorabilia to make those cards, or the guy that smoked the crack pipe too long that he hacked up the cards to make that jersey. Instead of being worried that he was not going to make enough off the jersey, the guy should have been looking for the local looney bin and having considerable thoughts about checking himself in.

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

Or to add insult to injury how about the fact not only are they cut up but you glued them to another shirt which makes the pieces completely worthless and the sad part is he had Huge names in those pieces.

One would think if the grand Bambino himself was going to swipe a mitt from someone, that he'd take a left-handers mitt. This story would have been better with a left handed first baseman's glove that had "belonged" to Lou Gehrig....

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

The glove story is pretty funny, but in all seriousness, is there any way it could actually be a real Lazzari glove? I know nothing about gloves and the actual description leaves a lot of questions. Has anyone asked the seller about the specifics?

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

I don't know what model Lazzeri used, but I have seen quite a few of his high quality store models over the years and owned one. The problem with this glove is the amount and type of wear. It's just too beat up and dry. Lazzeri, like all players, would keep their glove in good condition and get another when it was trashed. If it is his glove, how can it be authenticated? People are very leary of game gloves these days.

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

Who needs authentication, if the seller says that this is what Ruth told his grandpappy how would we possibly dispute this. I am sure that Ruth probably carried around a couple of suitcases full of stolen game used equipment that he swiped from his teammates lockers over the years. That way, when this type of occasion arose he was armed and ready. In answer to the previous comment, he probably had already given the Iron Horses gamer to one of the nurses.

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

Well here is a true but funny story!!! Babe Ruth always ended up broke he used to blow all his money on having a good time during the season that he would end up having to borrow money from his teamates by the end of the season and he would repay them back with high interest when he would get his new season check. So they didnt mind lending money to the Babe bcuz they knew he was ggood for it and they were gonna get a lot more back!!!

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

the babe did live in the ansonia hotel. your all quick to call him a liar. why dont the rules apply to him as well as others? just curious.

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

I agree with you Flaco. How come the rules don't apply to this guys auction? I thought the rule was we have to contact the seller first and see what he says about the item before posting. The seller has already answered a couple of questions from ebayers, even saying he would sign a letter confirming the story of how he got the glove...

[mr.miracle]

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

I think everyone is just amused by the story. As for contacting the seller, what can he possibly add to this that will validate the claim? Perhaps we can ask for his fathers employment records from the hotel as well as the Babe's history of staying there? Even if he signs a letter attesting to the gloves validity and this story, unless he gets the letter signed and notorized what good would it do if the glove is graded and comes back questionable or a fraud? If the seller is willing to stand behind the glove 100% money back that is great but I highly doubt even having it graded will in any way prove conclusive due to age use etc. It is just very amusing the way the ebay listing reads.

Re: You gotsta be kiddin me

Geez, you guys are hard to please! Isn't it enough that the seller has 100% positive feedback?
