Babe Ruth mitt from youth in Goldins Next Auction

I hate to say it but at the bottom of the glove in the picture the dimple or stain isn't that the same one on the glove

I noticed in the photos that the opening in the back spans at least three fingers and cuts high into the thumb. The one shown spans two fingers and does not cut high. I would say not the same glove as in the photos.

Based on the pictures, it really doesn't look to be the same mitt. But it made me think of 1962 card #135, because that guy seated in front looked very familiar. And sure enough, he's the same guy in the lower right whose face is cut off...

it really does not look to be the same mitt based on the pics to me either.

sad thing is that someone will spend a pretty sizable chunk of change on it regardless of whether its real or not.

And Im sure Ken will revise the story to suggest that there were multiple catchers mitts used at st marys.

Thanks Darren. That card provides another good view of the Mitt for comparison.
