Professional Baseball Glove Appraisal

Wilson A2000 Catcher's Mitt (SuperSkin Model)

This is a right-hand throw Wilson A2000 catcher's mitt featuring a combination of Pro Stock leather and Wilson's proprietary SuperSkin material. The glove is primarily black with tan or blond lacing and trim. The 'A2000' logo is prominently embroidered on the thumb area in red and white. A distinguishing feature is the textured black SuperSkin backing, which is designed to reduce weight and increase durability compared to a traditional all-leather construction. The mitt displays a closed web design and substantial padding typical of professional-grade catcher's equipment. In terms of condition, the glove is in used, broken-in state. There is visible wear on the lacing, particularly along the perimeter and the web, where some fraying and color loss are evident. Heavy patina is visible on the inner palm area and the hand opening, indicating frequent use. The leather shows signs of softening and significant creasing in the pocket area. Based on the branding and materials, this is a modern high-performance piece of sporting equipment likely manufactured within the last 5 to 10 years. The craftsmanship is of a high standard, utilizing dual welting and thick leather laces to maintain the mitt's structural integrity despite the impact of high-velocity pitches.
