Re: My first game used fielding glove & new grail!

In the picture with Manny, there appears to be a black mark going vertically to the right of the pocket (If the glove were to be held as it would be on a hand) where there's a crease. I could be wrong b but I'm going by the original pic because it's too difficult to tell with the blown up pic. Maybe someone else can chime in, I could certainly be missing something. Ricardo

Ricardo,

I can't make out the area your referring to. When I hold the glove in the exact same angle as Manny, everything lines up.

Also, what's the odds that another Manny glove would show the same palm stain and the wavy-bent interior glove fingers that match up nicely?

Bobby, awesome glove!! Just to play devils advocate, I am curious as to how the wrist strap is connected. They are not in the same position in your photo and Manny photo. Has it been reattached?

Rob,

Thanks! You have a really good eye....the angle of the photo makes the wrist strap appear to be attached differently. Just took these pics and you can see the same area has about a 1 inch space which is correct to the Manny/Torre photo.

Bobby,

Congrats on a great pick up. That glove looks awesome. I, like Grenda, do not have a fielding gove in my collection. I would like to add one at some point, but not sure who it might be. Again, way to go on the Manny glove.

John,

Thank you. You have a great game used collection and a glove would be a nice addition. Your game used collection and display room is something any collector would love to have.

Thanks again, Bobby

Re: My first game used fielding glove & new grail!

I recently ordered a few high resolution photos from AP Images and now have what I think are unquestionable matches to Manny with the Akadema glove.

First photo of Manny shaking hands with Cubs pitcher Carlos Marmol on 9-30-08 prior to game 1 of the NLDS. If you look at the second "9" you can see the loose white thread that matches up nicely.

Second photo of Manny jogging before game 3 of the NLDS on 10-3-08, you can see the dark threads on the H style web all match up, the lower part of the web there is a loose black thread that matches perfectly and again the white thread match on the number 9.

Third photo of Manny prior to game 1 of the NLCS vs Phillies. If you look closely you can see to distinct black scuff marks that match the photo from AP, I know its hard to see in the AP photo, but when I look at the high resolution photo, I can definetly see the two black marks. Also the leather on the glove has some indentations from being broken in that match up.

I have nothing but praise for AP Images and Pictopia who prints and ships out the order. I put in a request for the photos online and they send you an invoice. I did not respond right away and after a few days, I was offered 10% off the total order. Ordered with the 10% discount and the photos were here in a few days, all photos come with a lower border with a caption printed. I got the 8x10 size and they do have larger sizes.

Thanks, Bobby
