these are photos of the best examples of Mantle game used gloves. Be aware that the same models you will find now may look different as Mickey was able to have gloves customized to his personal taste.

Re: Mickey Mantle game glove
I appreciate the help. Does anyone know what Rawlings called the glove like Mantle used that they sold to the public? Professional model, ec?

Re: Mickey Mantle game glove
sorry, should have mentioned that. He used an HH glove in the 50's, but is mostly known for the xpg-6-h glove in the 60's. Open split web, with a leather connector in the retail model. Mantle often had it replaced often with a spiral laced connector.

Re: Mickey Mantle game glove
Just saw this xpg6-h glove that sold on ebay. This is the model he would have used at some point in the 60's.
