RARE Rawlings Heart of the Hide Gold Glove 32.5” RHT Catchers Mitt PRO-LTFB

Rawlings Hesrt of the Hide Gold Glove model 32.5” PRO-LTFB This amazing mitt is from the mid 90s. It was going to be a personal mitt for my collection but I lost interest in restoration before getting to it. These were one of the most expensive mitts you could buy in the 90s. Full horween leather outer and palm liner, and deer tanned handslot backer. It’s one of the best designs and use of materials from that period and kicks the tail of most gloves made today. Restored they go for 250-300 The kicker — well, it’s old it’s had a very basic light cleaning done and was conditioned a few months ago. It needs a restoration or someone willing to put in some time to make it shine. Padding is in great condition. Palm and backing leather is in very good condition. Lacing is in fair condition and is usable for light bullpen work, but it would enjoy a relacing. Hand slot has some cracking as shown but it’s just surface stuff which is pretty common in older used black dyed mitts.

The Rawlings Heart of the Hide is a classic glove for players looking to take it to the next level. It's crafted from ultra-premium steer hide leather, known for its durability and break-in potential. This means the glove will mold to your hand over time for custom fit. Many models feature the same game-day patterns used by MLB pros. It's a top-tier glove, but be prepared for a higher price tag and some break-in time.
