This man has a business, which provides a service to this hobby. I think it's only fair that he have his say in this.

Thanks, Tony

Thank you Tony.

Well Mark, I have to say that from the information provided in this thread, I'm feeling most sympathetic towards Mr. King from A1 Glove Repair.

Just for the record, the only time I’ve dealt with the original poster he flew off the handle and sent me a profane personal msg when I sent him the wrong $4 card (I got the card designation wrong). He thought he was getting a several hundred dollar card for $4 and was livid when that was not the case.

He then proceeded to try to blow up my for-sale thread stating how I did him wrong. I refunded the $4 and never heard back. I’d be weary of dealing with this individual. We all make mistakes and have bad days. Some of us just choose to act like adults when that happens. I wouldn’t deal with the OP again if he offered me double my asking price. It seems like others have found him to be caustic as well.

See posts four and five.

As my Father has always told me....'There's two sides to every story'.

I'm glad someone posted the seller response, so many times their names get dragged through the mud and not even know about it, let alone respond to it.

There are 3 sides to every story, the sellers story, the buyers story and the truth. I know which story I believe is closest to the truth.

Mark, you were logged on earlier when I read this, and I see you are logged in now. Do you disagree with King's statements? You started this, make it right, either back up what you said or admit you were wrong.

One positive is guaranteed to come out of this for Gordon the glove restorer.
I called him this morning after reading this thread and plan to have him do a minor restringing restoration project to the webbing of a 1939 D & M Johnny Vander Meer model glove that I acquired a year ago.
I'll give him my business

I spoke with Gordon yesterday when I was alerted to this thread. He seems like a very good guy and definitely a person I would give my business to. Very ethical and methodical.

Mark, on the other hand, seems to have some anger or impatience issues. Sometimes I suffer from the latter too but I don't report people for it or go bat ass crazy.

Scott, that's a nice glove. Leather still looks good after 80 years. My '65 Rawlings Wally Bunker isn't in nearly that good condition. This thread has prompted me to finally send it in for a refurb. Been meaning to do it for a long time.

That is one sweet glove!
