Default Bushing's latest debacle

Posted By: Dan Bretta

The following is a quote from the article:

Plancich says when he discussed the DiMaggio glove with Bushing a few years ago, the authenticator told him the glove is insignificant. "'The value is the letter,'" Plancich remembers Bushing telling him. " You can always get another glove.'"

Who in their right mind would make this statement?

On another note, this is such a blatent error that I find it hard to believe that a room full of vintage baseball collectors would not question a finger laced glove that was purported to be pre WWII. You would think that someone about to drop a quarter of a million dollars on a glove would do some research, but maybe the letter is all they really want.
