Desirable Game Used Glove from Altuve's Break-Out Season & First All-Star Game Appearance!A choice piece from one of the greatest players in the game today, offered here is a Louisville Slugger official HD9 Jose Altuve custom model fielder's glove that was personally used by Altuve during his appearance in the 2012 MLB All-Star Game and through the middle of the baseball season. Research shows that the glove was donned by Altuve as early as June 1st and was worn by him in numerous games throughout the months of June and July. The glove exhibits heavy usage as would be expected for a glove used in multiple games, with noticeable wear and soiling on the inner palm leather. Altuve's name is sewn in on the thumb in bright red stitching. In addition to being prominently seen on Altuve's hand in many pictures from the All-Star game, Altuve has hand signed the glove in silver metallic marker, adding the designation "2012 All-Star". Altuve's signature has faded or absorbed into the glove significantly, however the inscription on the finger rest remains strong. With Altuve leading the Astros to another playoff bound season that could see them hoisting a 2nd World Series trophy in 2 years, key game used items such as this glove provide a superb investment opportunity. Accompanied by a COA for the autograph from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS). We also guarantee this glove to pass PSA/DNA's game used glove authentication service and will be happy to facilitate a full authentication for the winning bidder.
