1958-59 Nellie Fox Game Worn Glove
<B>1958-59 Nellie Fox Game Worn Glove.</B></I> This little glove was as good as Gold for the Hall of Fame second baseman, who sported it during the era of his American League M.V.P. season. Nobody was more "automatic" than the sly Fox in the late 1950's, as he posted fielding percentages that saw him flawless ninety-nine times out of one hundred, earning him the prestigious Gold Glove in '59. We must also note that 1959 was a pennant year for the ChiSox, furthering the argument that we offer here the finest Fox leather on earth. The Wilson A2050 shows excellent wear throughout, with Nellie's name imprinted on the pinky above the words "Personal Model." The trail of provenance follows this glove from Fox' left hand to Yankee third baseman Andy Carey, who then made a gift of the Cooperstown-quality artifact to Chicago deep-dish pizza founder Lou Malnati. As a Louisville Slugger bat is to the Babe, this Wilson fielder's glove is truly an instrument of greatness. <I>LOA from MEARS.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
