This information is incorrect.....It wasn't a store model but rather a glove used by Mantle later in his career and not "circa" 1961 (magic year) as described in the catalog.

Denny made this statement to me clearly and in person shortly after the auction at the Robert Morris show in Pittsburgh - "it wasn't even a game used glove, it was store model!" That was a number of years ago and I leave room for the possibilty he may have gotten new information or changed his mind - but he said what he said.

BOY was that a different Denny than the one speaking to me shortly after the auction. I guess that was before the days when he was recognized as an expert.

This story gets sadder and more frightening by the week! I'm glad I stick primarily to cards and simple memorabilia.
