Glove Prices in Mastro Auction

[Mr. Mitt]

Condition, condition, and condition... throw in some rarity and demand and the prices are not shocking at all.

From a glove collecting prospective, the prices for the Sisler isn't far fetched. His Rawlings gloves are commonly available but the D&M (which features a script endorsement where as the Rawlings does not) is quite rare.

The Musial box that went for over 5K is a little surprising - this box is not rare and the glove wasn't in the best of shape. The Marty Marion box price was a little eye raising as well.

It's good to see interest in gloves and hope more people are drawn to the hobby.

[Mr. Mitt]

Actually thought the Sisler would go for more. Sure there have been a lot of Sisler mitts found, but when you break it down, none compare to this one. Sisler's endorsement contract began in the 1920's and lasted through the late 1940's. Very few models from the 20's exist and fewer still in decent condition. And that's for Rawlings, not D&M. I've only seen two D&M Sislers in 20+ years focusing on gloves and this example is stellar, by far the most desirable. I'm not talking it up because I won it, I didn't.
