Now we know why they call it "dead stock." This glove is so lovely, it could stop your heart. Gorgeous horse hide glove is perfect. We'll just leave it at that. No other word could describe the supple softness, the absolute absence of anything that would suggest it's over three-quarters of a century old. Rare black color, with Mint stamping. It has obviously spent its entire life in the box, which has only slight denting and a small tear (both of which likely happened back in the Twenties) to discourage a perfect rating itself. Even the original mini-booklet, entitled "How to Play the Outfield and How to Steal Bases, by Max Carey" is here. What time machine did this come from?
