Chris or Eric,

If you could fixx the above image so it shows in this post it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a current listing for a Game Used Clemens glove in the current Historic Auctions catalog with a Mears LOA. I personally owned this glove as I bought it off ebay as a game used glove. This glove was advertised a a possible game used glove on ebay and I used the "buy it now". I then tried to consign the glove to Lelands or American Memoriabilia.

I sent the glove to Keith Vari and he got with Denny Esken and found that this partcular glove is a 1990's retail model that was made for public sale in a series of 4 to 5 players. Thats why on the backside where it says "Clemens" in gold foil stamping, it says Clemens only. Per the rep at the manufactuer, when a player's name are stamped on the gloves for game used, they used the full name "Roger Clemens".. and when they were made for retail sale, they used the last name only.

This if from my feeback file on ebay.. (my user id is jerseydave_com)

    item as described. Gave him refund anyway... STILL complaining?? AVOID!> goofus.

I bought this glove from this guy and he got pissed when I sent it back for a refund as he sold it as game worn and it was not.

So this guy relisted the glove as game worn even though it was not and sold it again for $500.00 or so. The guy who won it relisted the glove at a later time and some unlucky buyer bought the glove for $2300.00 or so. I never saw the glove again until this day.

So I am curious why it has a Mears LOA and how they came to determine that the glove is a game used glove, and that it is also from the 80's.

Anyone can check with Keith Vari if they want to show I am telling the truth and have my facts straight... When I won it, I wanted it to be a game used Clemens glove as well, it turned out not to be. Why did Mears not get this right?

If you took the time to see MEARS' website, you'll note on their "Bulletin Board" section (open to the public) that Troy did indeed take responsibility for this and they have admitted their error. Its been up there for a few days now.

I applaud them for admiting their error & only wish that other authenticators would this as well when the time arises.

Now sold for $4,400+. This is truly sad.

Is the buyer of this glove backed by the MEARS guarantee that they offer to refund if they make a mistake?

Thanks,

Dave

Sorry, I honestly just got the Historic Auctions catalog in the mail today. I did not look at the date of the auctions on the catalog, I just started looking through it and saw this auction page. (Guess it is a little late isn't it)

As for the Mears site, I do not use it nor look at it at all. So i would have never seen the Bulletin Board section, I've never been on their website.
