maddimae18 (who is a member here) has three "game used" gloves listed on eBay:
Steve Korcheck:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111378342603
Todd Hundley:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111378323639
All three gloves were acquired from Heritage Auctions in this lot:
http://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball/1950-s-90-s-collection-of-four-game-used-catcher-s-mitts/a/7105-83076.s
One problem is (and I messaged Heritage about it) that the Korcheck is a store/endorsed model glove. Another problem is the Hundley was sold as a back-up glove, and given Heritage's liberal use of "game used," that might mean it never entered a game.
He also has the Willard up:

I don't know enough about minor league Mizuno mitts, so that one is probably good.
Anyway, the original lot sold for $310 (including BP), which was a pretty good deal. I guess I just feel a bit disappointed that a well-known member would be selling a back-up/game issued glove as game used, when the glove notably hasn't been fully broken in yet. The store model Korcheck doesn't surprise me, as much, as it took a lot of research beforehand (while the auction was in session) to figure that out.
