Lots of potential topics for discussion in the recently concluded Mastro Auction. It was probably the biggest/best Memorabilia offering since Halper, so I figured another thread couldn't hurt.
I was shocked at some of the Vintage Glove prices. Here are 5 examples...
1. Fingerless Glove...
$33,000. No surprise that advanced collectors would battle hard for this, but $33K? Has to be a record price...

2. George Sisler Mitt...
$2,280. Never seen one approach this level (or even close). These aren't that uncommon.

3. Pair of Joe DiMaggio Gloves...
$4,800. Granted, they're MINT and rare examples, but again, this has to be a record price for 2 DiMaggios.

$5,700. Never seen one approach this level.

5. Mickey Mantle with Box...
$8,400. Another record price?

Glove collectors, please chime in. Would love to hear your thoughts on the prices realized. These went way beyond anything I anticipated. Was condition the driving factor?
