Unfortunately that glove is a dog, at least for the price Billy paid. The game used equipment vetting of the Halper sale was embarrassing. There was a ton of bad uniforms especially the 19th century material and that glove is not alone by far. I have had a long list of clients who got burned buying jerseys especially. we are talking millions of dollars here lost by people who could not afford such a hit. As for the Billy Crystal Mantle glove it was sold as being from 1961 when it was used much later in his career and far less desirable for obvious reasons. I spoke to Billy and his wife several years ago about it. He was embarrassed and she was defensive. This kind of stuff is a crime figuratively and literally. When you turn people off like Billy Crystal out of greed you shoot us all in the foot.
