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
