Lot 1456: Vic Power Gold Glove Award
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Considered by many to be the finest fielding first baseman in history. If a shortstop threw this trophy into the dirt, Vic Power could scoop it up for the out. Unique Rawlings Gold Glove Award was presented to him in 1964 and honors Power for all seven of his Gold Glove victories at first base. Obtained directly from the four-time All-Star, the trophy is a tableful of gold-gilded fabulousness. A Rawlings Heart of the Hide glove painted gold sits atop a platform with Power's photo engraved on a gold plaque. Sandwiching the photo is a gold-painted baseball in a tri-pronged nest and a replacement Official American League ball bearing Power's autograph. Engraved on the trophy base is the official presentation to Power, and the years he won the award: 1958, '59, '60, '61, '62, '63 and '64. Photo plate is a bit faded o/w EX+.
