Game used Seahawks gloves

[jeriley23]

So I wanted to get your opinions on some game used gloves sold on eBay. The guy has a few pairs including a KJ wright SB 48 game used and an earl Thomas SB 49 game used pair. He states that he got them from a friend who has ties to the Seahawks. all of the gloves are photo matched and they look legit. My question is do the teams just give away gloves like this? How would anyone be allowed to take such items? Thanks for your help...

I just looked at them. They look like style matches not photo matches. Don't they make tons of these gloves, so each player has many pairs during the season.

How can you tell the photos are so small?

So how can you tell they're photo matches then?

Be careful everyone. All these gloves can be purchased retail as new.

A perfect example his own listing.

whats interesting is that initially he wanted 500 for 2 pairs of the SB 49 gloves and now wants 600 each. LOL. I guess unless they are from seahawks auctions buyer beware.

I can't from the photos they look real from the photos, that's why I am asking.

I don't think you can buy the player exclusive gloves(earl thomas) retail.

[Phil316]

I agree. I was looking at the unmarked gloves.

I had wanted to get these BUT have elected not too, I think it's way to much of a case of "I want them to be" more than what they are.

If nothing else, the Jimmy gloves show the guy has access to practices. So that atleast shows me he can get the player exclusive gloves. He takes candid photos of Jimmy at practice before getting gloves BUT can't take them at the SB (assuming these gloves did come first hand?) as he gets gloves from the players?

Now I'm supposed to gamble how much assuming this guy kept the gloves in the right order, they really came from the SB and they have no way of being Photomatched.....ehh...personally it's just too much, I'd never enjoy them without the second guessing.

Not so fast...........

The Super Bad versions are NOT sold to the public. These would be the padded versions.
I had a pair of padded Super Bad gloves obtained AT a game, from Lockette.
There were NOT the same as the ones sold via Nike dot com and other places.

[jeriley23]

The only question is then dodge get them at practice or are they indeed game worn during those games?

But also realize that question hinges on are the a random players practice gloves worth $25 or are they SB used?

[jeriley23]

well looks like someone had the balls to buy them...

Are you referring to the padding on the outside top of the hand ?

[sabotage14]

I went to the Super Bowl in NY and you could find the limited edition Gloves in certain retail stores. They were like $175 a pair but they could be had.

Correct!!!!
Those are the SuperBad version, padded.

[Phil316]

If you look hard enough you can get anything. Certain stores in the Seattle area carry all different colorways for all different teams.

I'm looking at buying a pair of gloves. Is there ANYWAY to tell the difference between the Nike ones and the ones the players use. I'm shocked most players don't have custom gloves with numbers and stuff.

[yanks12025]

Also do they change up the color styles every year? Because I'm looking at buying one pair being offered as game worn but don't see it being offered as a retail color. But maybe cause the gloves are from last year, they don't make this style anymore. I'm look at Bronco ones.
