Alfonso Soriano Glove
I'm sure some of you have seen this on ebay, and the seller could possibly be a member here, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think this is worth in terms of value? The glove's not authneticated, and it looks good to me, but what do you guys think? thank you, Ricardo

Re: Alfonso Soriano Glove
Ricardo,
I did some digging on this glove, as I've been looking for a Soraino Mizuno OF glove for my personal collection. I would have paid the asking price, but I couldn't find any photos of Soriano using this style glove. I'm not saying this glove is no good, but every OF glove I've ever seen him use (even before he became a Cub) has a Trapeze style web and no wrist strap. The nickname embroidery is correct and the use looks nice, but the style is unusual. Anyone have any input?

Re: Alfonso Soriano Glove
Rob,
you know i was all over this when it was first listed (thanks also to Scott, and Nick for the emails). i searched tons of pics, but couldnt find any perfect style matches. i did see a few pics with the wrist strap, but the web was wrong, or there was no "el monstruo" embriodered on it. also, i have never seen any soriano gamers with "el monstruo" on them before 2008. i have a pair of cleats, and a pair of batting gloves with it, but both are 2008.

Re: Alfonso Soriano Glove
Thanks for the input guys, I think I'll steer clear of this one, for that much money, I want to be 100% sure. Especially when there seems to be a good amount of mystery and doubt. Ricardo

Re: Alfonso Soriano Glove
I am not sure of the glove, but I can tell you the seller is very credible.
I am not sure of how or where the glove was used by the seller get's a lot of items directly from the players or someone close to the players.
So I am just speaking on the sellers behalf I feel he is trust worthy.
And no I do not work for him or with him, I have no financial investment in his company or in this item.

Re: Alfonso Soriano Glove
I found some pictures of Soriano using a glove just like this and possily a photomatch.
Hard to tell if it is an exact match but I can tell you this everything matches up names, tagging, embroidery, location of embroidery.
