Alex Rodriguez "gamer" fielding glove ??

[CollectGU]

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...

That is a crazy story. Any idea what the catcher's gloves were?

Has anyone else ever found the real thing like this in a clothing store or thrift shop?

They were two PRO-JP20, Posada's game model but they were not used and had no embroidery...

About 8 years ago I was garage saling with my wife and came across old boxes of football and baesball cards for 50 cents a piece (50 cents per card). Out of it I grabbed a Nolan Ryan OPC rookie card, several old football rookies...all in all my $22 I spent turned into thousands on e-bay.

Eric,

A few months back, I was at a flea market deep in the woods. I stumbled upon Lou Lampsons' address. It even came with a Lampson LOA (which did not have his address). I called AMI to verify, but no response. Needless to say, it turned out to be fake. Very disappointing.

I have a very, very good idea where these gloves came from and im going to guess that they arent used by AROD. I will share this via private message with the admin guys if they are interested. Not sure if i want this info out but ill let the admin guys be the judge of that.

Very interesting. I would love to know. If possible, send me an email at both these email addresses (arod13tb@yahoo.com and anthony.baldwin@navy.mil).

Although I did bid on the arod glove, the thought was in the back of my mind that possibily someone could have taken a non-game used glove from the locker room, sold it, and then someone worked it up to look game used. I just had this happen to me recently, and luckily I recovered my money.

I'm also interested to see if any top authenticator in the hobby will authenticate the glove as "game used." We know the glove is authentic, however, what proof is there that arod used it.

The story about how the gloves were obtained was interesting. However, I just have a hard time believing that whoever had these gloves initially, was clueless to what they had.

I'll put it this way, If AROD or the Yankees didnt say a glove was missing or a glove was stolen do you really think that a real gamer just came about? I hate to put a damper on this great story but AROD gamers dont come about unless they are signed and sold for big money. I still wont say where these gloves came from but i have an idea and its a legitimate one. Hey, they are real but the person who used them IMO isnt Alex. Ill give one hint...... Watch the Yankees take batting practice and check out what the bullpen catcher is using...... Get back to me.
