Does this seem like the real deal to anyone here? It seems weird to me that his name is spelled wrong. Looking at google images and baseball card images, it seems he wore this style though I can't match it sometime around 1995. Any thoughts?

Bats have been made for players with misspelled player names, so I don't see why a glove couldn't be issued the same way. Also, if you're going to fake a glove, wouldn't you pick someone with more interest and resale potential than Rick Helling? When I looked at the link, the glove hadn't even hit $100 yet...not worth a forger's time and effort. I am not a glove expert, but I wouldn't worry here.
