Jackie Robinson '42' Wilson Glove Hits Auction

A glove worn by Brooklyn Dodgers legend Jackie Robinson during the 1955 and 1956 Major League Baseball seasons just hit the auction block and it could sell for $750K The Wilson glove was worn on the left hand of the BK Dodgers star infielder for the final two seasons of his storied career. Jackie's glove made with top-grade tanned steer hide and nylon stitching appears to show no signs of re-lacing, per Goldin, the auction site selling the awesome memorabilia. The coolest part Jackie's iconic No. "42" retired by all MLB teams in 1997 in honor of his career is written on the glove. Goldin believes the glove, which appears to be in its original condition, was most likely used by Jackie as a backup glove or during pre-game warm-ups. The glove comes with a letter of authenticity (LOA) from PSA/DNA one of the top authenticators in the industry. It also comes with a letter of provenance from Jack Semel a longtime ticket holder of the Dodgers who was gifted the glove as a token of appreciation when the team moved from NYC to Los Angeles.
