Same here... that other Tornado Palm example is pictured in the Smithsonian Baseball Book. This one was in terrific condition, with no significant detractors. Someone really got a gem (and paid accordingly!)
Maybe someone on the Vintage Glove Forum got it... think I'll go over there, just to check. I bet there's already a lengthy thread about it.
A very nice Crescent Pad also sold today, for over $2K (big day for Gloves on Ebay!)
