GloveCrazy Profile

Who am I? My name is Rob Mucha. I live in Southern California and have been collecting baseball gloves and sports equipment for some time now. My favorite collecting activities include viewing other collector's gloves, finding items for other collectors, and pulling off blockbuster trades. Speaking of trading, I'd like to thank those collectors around the country who have provided me with some real softies!	Some of my Favorite Oldies
Why GloveCrazy? I picked this name because anyone who amasses a collection of over 400 baseball gloves has a bit of a screw loose. Looking back it's really been quite a blur, but somehow I jumped from 10 to 100 to 400+ gloves in a short period of time. The scary part is that it is still quite difficult to part with them -- but I'm willing to try! I am also a bit twisted in that I only collect gloves that have flawless inner linings. They have to have that certain feel or they do not stay in my personal collection very long. How did I get started? I've always been a huge baseball fan and baseball card collector. A combination of losing my favorite glove and getting frustrated with card collecting led me into collecting gloves. I really enjoyed finding old beat-up gloves and bringing them back to life. I started off pretty slow until I met some other collectors and then WHAM! I was hooked.	More Keepers
What do I collect? My collection includes gloves from each era and type, strange gloves, rare-endorsed, star-endorsed, and even non-endorsed gloves. Although my collecting interests have jumped around a bit, I am currently most interested in the really old or really weird.	Variety of Ages and Colors
Where do I get gloves? Back in the early days most of my gloves were purchased at flea markets across the country -- arriving before dawn with flashlight in hand. However, because of my preference to sleeping in the mornings, I'd rather reward those individuals who brave the elements by buying their finds. I also trade quite a bit and have been known to lose control (and thus over-spend) at auctions.	My First Garage Sale Find
