I'm interested in buying this glove but it doesn't look used to me just broken in. I can't find a pic anywhere of him using it. I can find the style not the color. My main question is don't these guys usually use the same gloves for long periods of time? At least a season? Do the players get several gloves a year issued to them?

The glove may not have been used in an actual game, but it could have been used during team practices or pregame warm ups. Many players get gloves from different manufactures to test out, so this could be one of them.

My guess is this was the glove he used early season / spring training until his custom came. They do glove days every year at Springtraining where wilson, rawlings etc brings bags full of gloves for the players to feel out to see what is best. My guess is he picked this model and had a custom made for himself for the year, and used this one until it came in.

It appears to be a stock A2k 1799, i just ordered a custom myself, and did a lot of research.

It is definitely the upper tier of wilson gloves.

So true the possibilities could be numerous especially with gloves.

I'm I under shooting thinking $250-300 is a fair price?

For a glove with that amount of use and not stiched that is about the range. Personally I would be 250 tops

Appreciate it I don't think he will go that low but $250 is where I cut myself off.

You could try messaging Avisail Garcia on Twitter, I know others have gotten confirmation on GU items by asking the athlete through that medium. I'm sure he will say it was used, but might be able to confirm the theories listed above.

He's going to think 250 is an insult and then won't reply back lol remember, the glove is super rare and used during the season,worth atleast 500* lol
