Presented here is a game used Mizuno GPT-5 Model glove worn by former Atlanta Braves ace Tom Glavine during the 1996 season and signed and inscribed by the Hall of Famer. Glavine posted a record of 15-10 with an ERA of 2.98 with 181 strikeouts during a season that saw the Braves make the World Series for the second consecutive year. Glavin would earn the fourth All-Star Game selection of his career and his third Silver Slugger Award. The presented Mizuno GPT-5 glove was constructed with top-grade light tan steer-hide leather and features a “MIZUNO” rectangular embroidered label sewn on the wrist strap in blue, red, and yellow. The “M” Mizuno label is stitched in blue and gold and embedded on the outside of the webbed pocket. “TOM GLAVINE” is embossed on the inside pocket of the glove in black. “WORLD WIN” is embossed on the inside pocket of the glove in black. The inside of the glove is lined with fleeced sheepskin. Glavine signed and inscribed “Tom Glavine Game Used 1996” with a black marker on the inside fingers of the glove. The signature and inscription show elements of bleeding. The glove displays moderate evidence of season use and contains wear on the webbing's pocket, fingertips, and surface. The Mizuno GPT-5 Professional Model glove worn by Hall of Famer Tom Glavine during the 1996 season comes with an LOA from noted game used expert William Henderson (21-0623J01) and is also accompanied by an LOA from Elite Sports Photo Matching (0040), who conclusively photo matched the glove to the 1996 season.
