I guess I was wrong, he isn’t a crook after all.
I did receive my glove, after just forty five days.
First, although I did receive an email from Gordon, that the glove was on the way.
He did not provide tracking info. No biggie.
Second, upon receipt I noticed the name on the box was incorrect. Hmm.
Third, I originally sent the glove in a special linen bag, that was not shipped back to me. He claims it was his oversight and it would be mailed back to me. Okay, moving on.
Fourth, the glove was not re-laced correctly and as it originally was.
In fact, I can no longer fit my hand into the glove, due to the new re-lacing.
Lastly, the piping along the wrist was CUT OFF! Further, not even replaced.
The job requested was for re-lacing and clean/condition.
I neither requested nor was it discussed to cut into the glove.
See photos below.
Additionally, this is one of Rawlings iconic gloves, issued in ‘55 as a top of the line model, retail $30/32. A mint one just sold on the bay for $1243.
So Doug....ethical?
