Description: Information about this glove from the Vintage Baseball Glove Forum: 1970 was the first year that a Gibson-endorsed glove appeared in the Spalding catalogs. But the model number was different. In 1970 Spalding listed a 42-321 model endorsed by Don Drysdale and the Gibson model was 42-323.It wasn't unusual for sporting goods companies to rush a glove with a "hot" endorsement into production, or to slip in some gloves that weren't in their catalogs to capitalize on a popular player. It would be easy to envision Spalding doing this following Gibson's dominating performance in the 1968 World Series. They very well could have signed him to an endorsement deal too late in the "model year" to give the glove its own model number or get it into the 1969 catalog before it was published. This glove is in very good condition, other than the broken broken lace you see in the photos - Check all photos carefully. Throwing in (see what I did there!! HaHa) the Hand Sewn Jaru Sponge Baseball. Looks practically new.
