Game-Used Autographed Batting Glove - 'Shield' Logo
I
know that technically this should go into the Balls, Bats & Equipment
Gallery, but I honestly felt this should go into the Unusuals Gallery
for this reason:
It features the rare "shield" Big Hurt Logo that I point out
throughout the site. Most notably in regards to the 1993 Leaf Charity
Card and the Rain-Blo Bubble Gum Campaign material.
There really
are only a few instances where this obscure logo was used during Big
Frank's career, and each example definitely falls into the 'unusual'
category.
Collector's
Note: I was disappointed when the seller said that he sold off the
other glove to a game-used collector/specialist whose name he couldn't
recall. Why do collectors even collect a literal half of a pair? Same
goes for cleats. What in the world would possess a collector to buy
only ONE?! You basically screw yourself over - and worse - you screw
over the next guy.
Drop the hammer and take both, tell the seller to drop his/her price,
or tell the seller to drop dead.
Do "right" by your fellow collectors! <g>
Personal Note: I was originally going to cite the example of
halving a screen-worn bra, but thought better of it when I considered
what some slobbering fans will do to get their hands (hand?) on a half
of a cup worn by a famous actress/singer/etc. Especially if that half
of a cup was... well you know..."game used". <lol>
