Introduction to the Artifacts
In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the imagination and reverence of collectors like game-used gloves. These artifacts not only tell the story of the players who wore them but also encapsulate moments of triumph and history on the diamond. We are proud to present two such remarkable gloves, each with its own unique narrative and significance.
The Gavin Floyd Glove
On the top of the wrist of this glove, a bold “Nike” logo is embroidered, symbolizing the brand’s commitment to excellence in sports gear. The outside thumb area is adorned with “Gavin Floyd” in striking red stitching, a personal touch that adds to the glove’s authenticity. Floyd’s signature graces the outside of the webbing in blue pen, accompanied by the inscription, “GM USED,” which in our opinion, rates a 5 overall. Inside the palm area, the “Nike PRO GOLD” stamp signifies the glove’s premium quality and craftsmanship.
The Palmeiro Glove
Equally captivating is the glove associated with Palmeiro. The outside thumb area of this black leather glove features a “Mizuno” logo patch, a testament to the glove’s superior make. Palmeiro’s signature on the outside webbing, penned in silver, is accompanied by the inscription, “GAME USED 2005 WORLD SERIES VS WHITE SOX,” marking its historical significance. Below, “O. Palmeiro” is embroidered in tan stitching, adding a personalized touch to this extraordinary piece.
