I have had a few really nice pickups in 2023, but these two circa 1938-1939 era Goldsmith personally endorsed gloves stand out as being extra cool!
Vandy's VDM model glove is a genuine toughee and it took me over a dozen years to find one to complete my collection of his 4 different Goldsmith endorsed gloves and D&M endorsed glove.
The Ernie Lombardi Model ML catchers mitt was a Christmas gift from my son, Sam that arrived in today's mail.
A perfect pairing of the complete battery of the only time that a ML pitcher hurled back-to-back no-hitters.
The eBay seller of both gloves sent me an unexpected surprise as well.
A 1938 Ernie Lombardi Val Decker Packing postcard. Also rare and a nice addition to my collection.
Happy New Year and Good Collecting to everyone on net54!
