The image posted by Justin reconfirms what I said in my first post in this thread. The glove that Ruth is wearing is the photo is open across the three middle fingers. The glove shown for the auction is only open for the middle finger and the ring finger. I still stand by that opinion.

Did MEARS allegedly match the glove to the photo?

Nice edit...I think it just saved you from a Cease and Desist letter.

There are +/- 10 pages of MEARS authentication online with the ruth glove. There are some pages of PSA/DNA authentication too. I read them but didn't see either say they photo-matched it. MEARS said they didn't examine it in person but used hi res photos. On the other hand PSA/DNA used the phrase "baring a direct photo match" but I think they might have had a typo and meant "barring". If that is the case then it doesn't seem like there is a photo match as part of the authentication, unless I missed it.

Then I genuinely don't understand, what is the significance of the photo, if any?

To show it looks like the one being auctioned?

A very advanced memorabilia collector friend of mine collects this kind of stuff. He always judges things but how big of a leap of faith there is for something to be what it is purported to be. On this glove each collector has to make their own decision. It comes with COA letters from 2 of the biggest hobby authenticators of memorabilia.

Default Ruth Mitt in Goldin's Auction
I have been asked about this glove. I was not involved the MEARS work, but as I read through the work provided, it appears that only two statements were made in the MEARS effort:

1. That it is a catchers mitt as opposed to a first base mitt.
2. The glove being auctioned is the same one that was on display at the Babe Ruth Museum.

I get that it's an authentic period catcher's glove according to PSA and MEARS, but is it claimed to be the glove in the photo or not?
