Why did this BJ Upton GU Fielding Glove go so Cheap?

[camarokids]

According to the description the glove was used in 2008 and 2009. The glove looks new to me with no use. Sold for only $285.00! I did not bid.....

I could not find any close enough pics on getty except one that shows BJ using the same type of glove but with green embroidered stitching...



Here is the auction link....

I cannot copy the images from ebay. Can anyone copy and post them here?

Thanks Luc!

I tried to copy page, but when I went to post them on GUU, it came up invalid format.

My only guess would be (for lack of better word) "strength" of the COA. I got my glove for a decent price, may have been a little higher than the Upton glove and came with the worst and shoddy COA I have seen, but I photomatched it to several games over two seasons. Looking at this glove and photos of in-game action of Upton and I cannot prove that this glove was actually game worn. Maybe more people are doing their homework?

very good finding the blue stitching. i thought it might be his backup glove. that glove was a steal.

FYI. All the pics I found with blue stitching were 2009... anything discernible from 2008 was teal/green.

Interesting. I saw that glove when it first started and I clicked on the link to the video and a comment, which had been posted five minutes before I clicked on the link said basically that the glove was purchased through eBay and then had use "added" to it. Not sure why someone would lie about that and post it as a comment on the youtube page. Now that comment is gone, but maybe some potential buyers saw that before it was deleted. That's the huge problem with gloves and why I changed my mind about buying them. Unless you have outstanding provenance, an issued glove can be purchased and have use added and you can't really tell the difference (no distinct characteristics usually).

even better...

and note the untied thumb laces match the ebay glove, though that certainly doesnt prove much

okay I'm done after this
