They were two PRO-JP20, Posada's game model but they were not used and had no embroidery...

Re: Alex Rodriguez "gamer" fielding glove ??

About 8 years ago I was garage saling with my wife and came across old boxes of football and baesball cards for 50 cents a piece (50 cents per card). Out of it I grabbed a Nolan Ryan OPC rookie card, several old football rookies...all in all my $22 I spent turned into thousands on e-bay.

That is a crazy story. Any idea what the catcher's gloves were?

Has anyone else ever found the real thing like this in a clothing store or thrift shop?

Eric,

A few months back, I was at a flea market deep in the woods. I stumbled upon Lou Lampsons' address. It even came with a Lampson LOA (which did not have his address). I called AMI to verify, but no response. Needless to say, it turned out to be fake. Very disappointing.

Don,

Thanks for the inquiry. If I need to get them signed I can go to Anaheim when they get here in August or I could send the gloves to any one of my several friends who are currently playing major league baseball to do it for me. I would prefer to get it done in person so to "believe it when I see it mentality". As I have said in previous posts, I am NOT a collector, never have been and probably wont be....I love the game but don't know enough about collecting to get truly involved.

In answer to your question, yes all proof tags, receipts and a letter from the person who sold them as well) of the legitimate purchase of these gloves will be provided to the buyer and a canister of oxygen as well because they will lose their breath when they hear the story.

WOW! $10,000+ for the gloves! The same guy bought both of the a-rod gloves. Good find!

Re: Alex Rodriguez "gamer" fielding glove ??

Wanted to say I appreciated the way Mark ran the ebay auction. He gave notice so if someone wanted to report the gloves as stolen they would have an opportunity. Also felt we were given the infromation available that allowed us to make our own judgments. I bid on the gloves, but obviously I was up against somoeone with deep pockets who wanted the gloves.

I been talking to Mark prior to and throughout his auction. He's a class act! He wanted to ensure that if these gloves were stolen, whether from Arod, the Yankees, someones collection, he wanted to return the gloves to who owned them. He stressed a lot over those gloves and really didn't want them out there until he was 100% sure and also for the potential buyers piece of mind.

It's stories like these that we all deam of happening to us. Mark not only did a classy thing, but he put a little more faith in me that not everything is about the all mighty dollar.

He a great example of what a person is who has high morales, integrity, and values!

Mark, as we say in the Navy...BRAVO ZULU to you!

I also bid on one of the arod gloves. However, I knew my $3,200 bid wouldn'tcut the mustard! Oh well. I only hope the buyer comes though!

All my best, Tony

Re: Alex Rodriguez "gamer" fielding glove ??

I cannot thank everyone enough for their input and assistance with this whole matter, I have gained some unfathomable knowledge and the level of integrity in which all of you held yourself to is a credit to those of you who recognize this as an incredible hobby and not always a business. While a significant amount of money was paid for the gloves, I am assured by many that these gloves have a safe home and will be treasured for years to come.

I will continue to post here for a few weeks as some of you will be very surprised where some of this money will be going....

Re: Alex Rodriguez "gamer" fielding glove ??

I have a very, very good idea where these gloves came from and im going to guess that they arent used by AROD. I will share this via private message with the admin guys if they are interested. Not sure if i want this info out but ill let the admin guys be the judge of that.

Very interesting. I would love to know. If possible, send me an email at both these email addresses (arod13tb@yahoo.com and anthony.baldwin@navy.mil).

Although I did bid on the arod glove, the thought was in the back of my mind that possibily someone could have taken a non-game used glove from the locker room, sold it, and then someone worked it up to look game used. I just had this happen to me recently, and luckily I recovered my money.

I'm also interested to see if any top authenticator in the hobby will authenticate the glove as "game used." We know the glove is authentic, however, what proof is there that arod used it.

The story about how the gloves were obtained was interesting. However, I just have a hard time believing that whoever had these gloves initially, was clueless to what they had.

If you do have factual information about these arod glove(s), I think it's very important to provide this information to the seller and buyer of the glove(s).

Re: Alex Rodriguez "gamer" fielding glove ??

I'll put it this way, If AROD or the Yankees didnt say a glove was missing or a glove was stolen do you really think that a real gamer just came about? I hate to put a damper on this great story but AROD gamers dont come about unless they are signed and sold for big money. I still wont say where these gloves came from but i have an idea and its a legitimate one. Hey, they are real but the person who used them IMO isnt Alex. Ill give one hint...... Watch the Yankees take batting practice and check out what the bullpen catcher is using...... Get back to me.

First, I believe Arod and/or the Yankees wouldn't admit that, as they don't
want it to be known that it's even possible that things can/are stolen from the clubhouse/field.

I think if you have factual information about these gloves, then great and let it be know.
