If you were the seller of this glove wouldn't you do research prior to putting it on eBay? I did a Google search and found another example in minutes. Heritage sold the one below sold for $3100 in April 2010.

Eight months later it sold for $4400 at Lelands.

If a deal seems too good to be true it usually is.

Thanks for the replies...

I did look around before I purchased it and saw those exact models, however those are late 50's. the seller explained this was a 55 mitt, and I tried to photo match and couldn't really find any 55 photos of the glove. He was asking 750 at first and I messaged him kindly asking if he'd take 250, so in fairness he was asking a bit more. He described it as authentic and game used though which is why I figured I could take a shot. I got lucky with a dodger garment bag earlier this month and this seemed to be a great addition to put in the case. So is this 100% not legit??
