FIELD OF DREAMS (1989) - Kevin Costner-Autographed Screen-Matched Ray Kinsella Baseball Glove and Related Materials - Ray Kinsella's (Kevin Costner) screen-matched baseball glove and related materials from Phil Alden Robinson's sports drama Field of Dreams autographed by Costner. This glove screen-matches to the film's finale, when Kinsella (Costner) played catch with his father John Kinsella (Dwier Brown) in the baseball field he built at his farm with the iconic line "Hey dad, you wanna have a catch?"

The subject of widespread critical acclaim upon its release, Field of Dreams was nominated for three Academy Awards& reg;, including Best Picture. Often ranked among the most influential sports films of all time, it was inducted into the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2017 for its impact on American culture. An upgraded version of the original Field of Dreams baseball diamond Universal Studios constructed in Dyersville, Iowa for the film remains in use as a Major League Baseball ballpark today, including for a 2021 White Sox vs. Yankees game which Costner introduced.

This brown leather Wilson A2000 baseball glove was the high school glove of prop master Douglas Fox, who equipped Costner with it after the actor refused to use fresher equipment provided to the production for promotional consideration. Costner later signed it in silver-color ink when he and Fox again worked together on Niki Caro's McFarland, USA.

This glove features matching brown leather laces, a black and yellow sewn-in Wilson "W" logo, and a second Wilson logo near the wrist. Also included are a Letter of Authenticity from Fox, six continuity photos of Costner from production, a Wilson baseball bag, and two production-made paper Terrance Mann (James Earl Jones) graphics. The glove is distressed from personal use, and exhibits wrinkling and discoloration to the leather from age.

Estimate: $70,000 - 140,000
