Other than photo matching or a reliable provenance, how are batting gloves identified as being at least issued to a player? Are there codes on labels like in jerseys? Are there characteristics of the label itself that can identify batting gloves as being at least issued to a particular player?
I've seen gloves that have a player's last name or nickname or a logo. Are those only issued to the player? For example, the picture shows a pair of Franklin gloves with JUNIOR printed on them. Did Franklin sell gloves like that to the public?
Who is the expert on identifying and/or authenticating GI/GU batting gloves? Thanks for sharing your perspective and knowledge.
