Default Items in my collection

Wow. I guess I can add lace and one inchers to the list of webs. Though I have seen some laced webs that looked like the owner cut the full web and added laces later. That's not to say that's what is shown on Jim's site, more of a general observation, but I've definitely seen some interesting customization.

Jim's photo gallery is likely to represent a good portion of the known examples. I don't know how rare they are, but if a run of the mill full web is a 1 and a duck web is a 10, you'd have to have a fielder's mitt up there between a 7-9. Hard to say. They are/were considered quite rare but they do show up on ebay a few times a year. I'm not sure how much interest they garner given the fact that they look so much like first baseman's mitts, which have not had as broad a spectrum of collector interest.
