A glove worn by Brooklyn Dodgers legend Jackie Robinson during the 1955 and 1956 Major League Baseball seasons has just been auctioned...and it could sell for $750,000!< /p>
The Wilson glove was worn on the left hand of the BK Dodgers star infielder for the last two seasons of his storied career.
Jackie's glove - made with premium tanned oxhide and nylon stitching - appears to show no signs of relacing, according to Goldin, the auction site that sells the impressive memorabilia.
The coolest part... Jackie's iconic number "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 in pre-game warm-ups.
The glove comes with a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from PSA/DNA...one of the best authenticators in the industry.
It also comes with a letter of provenance from Jack Semel - a longtime Dodgers ticket holder - who received the glove as a token of appreciation when the team moved from New York to Los Angeles.
