Cal Ripken Fielders Glove Bought for a "Song" on eBay
Well, looks like I was late to pick up on this deal! Someone picked up, what I believe, is a very legit game used fielders glove of Cal Ripken Jr off of eBay today............I only wish I could have spotted it first. Based upon my conversations with Denny Esken, it think this is the real deal! This could be a museum piece and would probably sell in a major auction house for 3x the $3k it sold for!

Anyone on the forum know the buyer djob001?

Dan:
That ebay name seems very familiar but not sure. I cannot believe that price. I did not see this item at all, too bad it ended at that because assuming this is real, as you said, this person got a real steal.Brett Herman

That's awesome. If it is indeed real. Great pick up. Any one know how I can contact Danny Eskin ? I have a Thome glove I want to ask him about. Thanks in advance. Roger

I have a simular Ripken glove but it isnt signed. What do Cal's gloves go for these days?

Carlevv,
Please post photos of your glove; thumb, palm, heal, back, etc. so the forum members can assess whether you have a potential legitimate glove before you get too excited about its value!

Re: Cal Ripken Fielders Glove Bought for a "Song" on eBay
Ripken Gamers, I dont have a camera at the time to take photo's but its the real deal. It has about the same use as the one i saw on ebay. Its not signed. Pro-6hf as usual, but one thing... There is white fur where the top of Cal's hand goes. It measures about a quarter inch wide and goes along the whole area where his had was. I think this is one of JR's customizing traits right? Thanks. I put it up against my AROD glove and if you look through the index finger hole on Cal's glove there is stitching where a pad is put in. Not on AROD's pro-6hf. Interesting.

Re: Cal Ripken Fielders Glove Bought for a "Song" on eBay
Also, on the outside of the pinky finger where it reads gold glove series, the one i have doesnt have it and the one on Ebay does. Weird. Not sure what year my glove is from, if i had to guess i'd say mid 90's.

Re: Cal Ripken Fielders Glove Bought for a "Song" on eBay
Carlevv,
Without photo's there's not much I can comment on. Mine also has fur under the wrist strap but the comment you made about not have the "Golden Glove Series" has me very suspicious. I'm not a glove expert but I don't recall not seeing this inscription on his gloves. Generally there is a series of dots below this verbiage with indicates the year of manufacture. I've seen a few variations of the Pro-6HF he has used. If you really want more definitive comments I'd borrow a digital camera and send some photos!
