    Derek Jeter GU batting glove

    Just looking for some expert advice on a Derek Jeter game used signed batting glove that was part of a steiner auction I won recently.
    I've been able to pinpoint the year/circumstances Jeter used this particular model Nike glove- ca. 2008, and its one that he wore while playing in the field, the batting glove he wears underneath his mit.
    The thing that concerns me are the two pieces of fabric...see photos...that are on the inside opening of the glove. My impression is, since I've purchased many a batting glove for playing ball over the years at stores, that these are part of the glove where the clear plastic tags go through which hold the gloves in place (usually on some cardboard) for store display on the racks.
    My question is, wouldn't Jeter have a pair that didn't have these unnecessary pieces of fabric on his batting gloves? Does anyone else own a Jeter batting glove similar to this that still has those pieces on them?
    I really don't want to make a big deal about this to Steiner Sports but I really could use some additional help with this.
    Thanks very much

      the fabric is actually attached to the other side, opposite the velcro strap...so it would be on the other side of Jeter's wrist in the pictures I took of him, which unfortunately isn't visible

        I agree with Lokee, and it appears to be in the correct place too.

          I noticed that too, thought it might have just been something else, but good call on that
          Thanks for all the help guys
          any one else out there have this type of GU glove? would love to see it

          Also about the signature- anyone here think this signature from the one I posted here is better than this one with a slight smudge. Steiner originally sent me this other one, but as you can see the signature has that imperfection. I ended up returning it for the current one I have, not a fan of smudged looking sigs. Would you guys have kept it or returned it for another?

            isn't the one you currently have also smudged on the D?

              no, the pen seemed to have snagged on a little hole causing that extra bit of ink...the sig is not smudged though
