Re the title of yesterday's post - I certainly thought I got good value out of that lot. I just expected that a lot more people would have been disgusted by the condition of that Aaron card. Glad to see that most people appreciated it as much as I did.
A couple of comments on my flea market post mentioned that the Willie Randolph glove tag would be quite rare. I've seen glove tags occasionally on other blogs but hadn't come across any myself. Apparently they are a lot rare than I thought they would be, and certainly a steal for a dime. I can only find one available online. It's from COMC, and they are selling it for $47 on eBay and $15 on their own site.
It's a fun oddball, worthy of it's own post as most people probably hadn't seen one. I know I'd never seen one before (well, maybe attached to a glove when I was a kid, I don't remember). Here's the front.
I guess rare doesn't necessarily translate to riches, nevertheless, a cool find. I remember those when buying gloves but pretty sure everyone who bought a glove threw the attached card out.
ReplyDeleteI had a Willie Randolph glove as a kid. I think I got it secondhand though, so no card for me...
ReplyDeleteI've had a Steve Garvey glove tag from the early '80s for quite awhile. It never occurred to me that it would be worth anything.
ReplyDeleteLove that Rawlings printed a backside with stats to give it a baseball card feel. It's a very cool collectible. I wonder what other players Rawlings created cards for.
ReplyDeleteI never owned a new glove as a kid, and don't remember even ever looking at new ones in the store, so this sort of thing is completely "new" to me.
ReplyDeleteDidn't think there were stats on the inside, thanks for sharing!
