Well I'm getting a lot less happy as this thread evolves. I have now gone from "happy" to "indifferent". But that's all right... as Mr. Mitt said, at least it didn't escalate to a "workman's price".
For under $300 (with the juice) I don't think it was a horrible purchase. I have had trouble finding gloves of this vintage without ink, chafing, holes, tears, seam splits, missing tags, detached webs, broken laces, torn lining and/or other flaws... all of which this one seems free of.
I just hope there are no more "surprises" when this one arrives, and that they didn't gloss over any condition issues. One would hope not, from an outfit like Mears. With regards to Ebay, I pass on most of these gloves, as the sellers' descriptions never seem to mention any flaws. The photos never quite reveal them either. Hope this time is different, as the misleading description was troubling enough...
