Interesting story behind "Pumpsie" Green. He was the first black player to play for the Boston Red Sox. See wikipedia link below...

Here's my question and it's a tough one. Does anyone know what the value of his childhood 4-finger baseball glove would be worth?

Thanks!

A side note not mentioned in the Wikipedia entry:

The NHL Boston Bruins, by putting Willie O'Ree on their roster (first black NHL player), actually integrated their roster roughly a year before the Red Sox did.
