Alex Rodriguez "gamer" fielding glove ??

[cjclong]

Do you know whether anyone has actually asked ARod if he can verify the gloves or are we just assuming he can't? It has been my experience that some players pay a great deal of attention to their bats, gloves, etc and are very good at identifying them while others pay little attention. Arod has always struck me as one who paid attention. I would think he would know if he had given a glove like that to someone , especially since there are two, and would certainly know if a glove was stolen from him personally.

Why don't you just send the gloves to his autograph rep to get them signed? Then you would hear what he had to say about them. Are you going to disclose the source of the gloves to the winning bidder?

Don,

Thanks for the inquiry. If I need to get them signed I can go to Anaheim when they get here in August or I could send the gloves to any one of my several friends who are currently playing major league baseball to do it for me. I would prefer to get it done in person so to "believe it when I see it mentality". As I have said in previous posts, I am NOT a collector, never have been and probably wont be....I love the game but don't know enough about collecting to get truly involved.

In answer to your question, yes all proof tags, receipts and a letter from the person who sold them as well) of the legitimate purchase of these gloves will be provided to the buyer and a canister of oxygen as well because they will lose their breath when they hear the story.

I've seen many Arod gloves hit the market signed by him game used or with his LOA and they sell anywhere from $2,500 - $3,500, so I am surprised that this glove is as high as it is already

Those to gloves, even signed, don't even come close to comparing to this one that show nice game use.

I have to disagree. Those two in Leland's show decent game use, and have direct provenance. I'd trade the wear for the provenance, but that is my personal preference...

I remember when that personalized glove was on ebay. They seller stated that arod peronalized it and gave the glove to Cristian Guzman. Notice anything wrong with the glove...Hello...Cristian is mispelled (CHRISTIAN) After emailing the seller, he wouldn't respond anymore.

Okay, okay, the time has come for the hundreds of e-mailers who have wanted to know how and where I obtained the gloves, I direct you to click on this link (http://www.dailynews.com/ci_5859190 ) which will direct you to the Los Angeles Daily News Newspaper and the story on all four gloves.....enjoy...

WOW! $10,000+ for the gloves! The same guy bought both of the a-rod gloves. Good find!
