Amazing how the only known game-used Robinson glove in existence, finally surfaces over 50 years later. I guess if it could happen now, there could be many more of these showing up over the years. Kind of like Babe Ruth autographs (sorry, Rhys, for sounding negative).
Anyone think the last sentence of the following part of their description is just a little bit odd?
"Robinson used this glove in the 1955 World Series, wherein the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees to win their first ever World Series. Jackie also used this glove durning the 1956 World Series and in his last game ever played. The glove shows extensive wear and aging on the leather throughout which attributes to the three years of use. The glove has number "42" written in black felt tip on the intact wrist strap, signifying that the glove belonged to Jackie. "
