Game Issue Fielding Gloves
It's happened again. A Tim Lincecum game issued glove has gone from $400 to $1000 bucks since the Series. So what is a game-issued glove anyway? And how do you tell if the game-issued glove has true value?

Re: Game Issue Fielding Gloves
Good question. There's a handful of Cubs game issued gloves on Ebay. Do these have any real value ? Anybody have an opinion on Game issued Gloves? And how do you even know if they actually came from the team?
Here's an example of a Aramis Ramirez:

Are these truly game issued gloves or are these backdoored from the Rawlings factory?

Re: Game Issue Fielding Gloves

Re: Game Issue Fielding Gloves
Yeah, but can you get say a Geo Soto catcher's mitt in the same style that he uses with his name on it ? I know you can custom order a glove online from Rawlings, BUT:
1.) it costs $300+
2.) will they embroider a well known major league stars name on it for Joe Blow with his small internet order ?
and if so, why would anyone bother to do this ? The profit you'd make would be very small. Anyone that would pay more than $400 for a so-called "game-issued" glove without Holograms and or MLB/Team paperwork is taking a huge risk.

Re: Game Issue Fielding Gloves
there are several online dealers who have contacts with the players. It is how i have obtained all of my gloves with the exception of my kinsler and greer glove. Every one of the gloves i have bought come with a picture of the player holding the signed glove. With a little research i have been able to find photos of the player using that style glove. Beyondthedugout is a great company that comes to mind. Lockerroom memorabilia can get glove, or atleast that is who issued the coa for my kinsler. It also has a pic of him holding the glove. I think ive bought about 4 gloves from ball park heroes and their business model seems to be a great idea. They may not have all the big name guys like you see on ebay, but they do have contacts with a lot of rangers players.
