Check again guys. If you are following the live auction on Heritage's site, it pretty clearly states that the glove did not sell. There is an option to buy the glove now for $3500 and change.

Strange $ amount when the auction said $3,000 starting bid. Does anyone have the background? Bidders: 0

disregard. Haven't had my coffee yet. Got my auctions mixed up. However, I doubt there will be any interest in the Ripken glove anyway.[/quote]

What do you base this statement on? With an opening bid amount of only$1,500, that's an extremely attractive price for a signed Cal Ripken Jr. professional issued glove.

Also, for the record i have handled Cal's gloves for many years and know all about his locker, his equipement and his habits.

Re: Cal Ripken Fielders Glove Bought for a "Song" on eBay

Well, i agree that Cal just like any other player guard their game gloves with high regard. A back up glove is way different. Thats what im saying here. The glove in question this whole time is no way a gamer or something Cal used for more than a week. And yes i group Cal in with ANY other player when it comes to back up gloves. They get attention until they arent used in BP or in any games. I didnt read that whole story you posted but working for a Major league team in the clubhouse for more than a decade leads me to believe i know what im talking about when it comes to players habits.
