She's definitely seen better days, the leather on the palm is absolutely shot. I picked it up for cheap, had been in a guys truck for ages, the lace was so brittle it broke multiple times while unlacing it. Only reason I paid the $20 for it that I did was because 1. It's an A2000, and 2. The glove wasn't petrified and it wasn't collapsed. It actually stands open like new when laying on its side with the new laces.

I do a lot of work on my own gloves, but I don't have many before pics. Here is one that sold on here a while back.

Out of curiousity, what would it cost to have a restoration done to a glove?

I have a first base mitt that my uncle gave me when I was in 6th grade and i used it until I was in my late 20's. It is in rough shape since I was a kid and didnt take care of my stuff and to be honest I still dont know how to take care of gloves properly.

I doubt it is anything special as far as model, but it does have a ton of sentimental value to me since I was so close to my uncle.

Would it be worth putting the time and money in to?

Some guys on here do them at cost and shipping. It'll run run $30-50 depending on the person but its worth it if the glove is worth it to you. Even if not to use, just as a keepsake some find value in a nice restoration.

Thanks for the reply. I think that is a very fair price for something like this and is about what I was quoted in PM from a memeber here. The glove is definetly worth more then that to me.
