Player fielding gloves are very rare. Curious to know your opinion on why you think there is no interest in the 1998 Alex Rodriguez Game Used Fielding Glove on ebay:

This is the 2nd time it was listed. Is it because of price? Location of seller? No investment potential? Lack of interest in Arod stuff?

I did make an offer of $1,800 but seller said he wants $2,500.

I would love to own this glove and if A-Rod didn't become just another liar and a cheat, that glove would fetch $5000, probably with an asking price closer to $12,000. He obviously wants to get back the money he put in. A-Rod would have to put up numbers like he did on steroids saving a few cats up in trees while rounding the bases before any sane person would shell out big money for his stuff. I'm more made I didn't jump on more Cano gear when he jumped ship for Seattle. Now his prices are climbing again.

He paid $5,000 for the glove, so he's definitely taking a loss. I guess true Arod collectors, and not investors, will be more interested still in his stuff. Thanks!

I love game used gloves. They are rare. I have 6 Maddux gloves and one each from most of the 500 HR hitters but $5000 for ARod is too much. He won't be in the HOF as will most of the steroid laced players even though Clemens and Bonds might give it a run in the next 5 years when we become more tolerant of them knowing they had the abilities prior to turning to the dark side. I paid $1300 for McGwire's glove and would expect an ARod glove to run about $1500.
Bonds would attract $5000. Most players only use 1-2 gloves per season so they are more attractive for the investor. Griffey glove went for $9000 a few weeks ago.
