Vintage baseball
Gloves; Old, new, and used mitts, bats ... plus some other sports equipment.
I am a collector of
vintage sports stuff, old phones, and radios but mostly baseball gloves. My sale
list is below ...
Please email with questions.
Last
updated: 15May2012
Sales Notes: I want
each person to be happy with the purchase/trade and I realize that a glove is a
very personal thing to someone who is going to use it. Therefore, my policy is
that a prospective buyer/trader may keep the glove for up to one week after
receiving it. If you are not happy with the glove, then return it for a full
refund minus the postage (assuming, of course, that the glove is in the same
condition as when you received it.)
If you would like
your baseball glove appraised or you would like information on your glove then
please click here .
For Sale
Add S/H: Usually $12 for one or two gloves
anywhere in the USA. Outside of USA, whatever the post office says.

Glove Repairs: Many of you
have written and asked me about repairing/restoring your old great gloves.
Well, there is no longer a reason for despair. If you seriously want to restore
your old gloves, especially Rawlings, then Kenny is the guy to do it. Up until
Rawlings closed its repair shop last year, you would have dealt with Kenny at
Rawlings in Missouri. Now he is doing it on his own. And I’m not just talking
about minor stuff like cleaning and relacing; I’m talking about redoing the
padding, rebinding, redoing the thumb and pinky loops that so often break, and
(YES) relining those beater gloves that have 40 years of your acidic sweat in
there! Now, you all have seen some of the ‘expert’ work done by other people
out there. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud their efforts but you should really
see some before and after pictures of Kenny’s work. It’s like you get your old
glove back and you will then be able to use it for another 20 years. Enough:
you see for yourself: goto: http://www.kennysgloverepair.com/ and please tell Kenny I sent you, ok? To see three
before and three after pictures or Kenny’s work, click here.
Payment: I prefer money orders or cashier’s checks for payment but will also
accept a personal check and then hold the item until it clears. If you are in a
real hurry, I do accept payment via Paypal. (paypal/credit card: add 3%;
otherwise no charge. Also, add 1% for foreign currency conversion.). You can
sign up for Paypal at www.paypal.com
. Note: I no longer accept foreign money orders or checks because our
banks now charge a ridiculous fee to process them.
Sad Note and
Warning: Benny Ayala is a thief. I regret to have to report to all you other
glove collectors to be very wary when dealing with Benny Ayala, the former
major league baseball player. I sent
him $1,200 for four mitts and he never sent the gloves even after half a dozen
phone calls and emails. Benny’s
address is: PO Box 222, Dorado, Puerto Rico
00646 and his email is benny.Ayala.27@gmail.com and his phone number is:
787-526-8020. In fact, the only email I’ve received from Benny has been a link
to a computer virus so I would also warn you against opening his emails!
Glove collecting has been a great hobby and in all the years I’ve been
collecting, I’ve only had one other such incident. I hope this does not happen to you.
If you happen to see any of these mitts for sale, please let me know as they
might be the ones I was supposed to receive:
Benito Santiago, Bengie
Molina, Ivan Rodriquez and another Ivan Rodriguez.
Thanks.
