Hey, so I figured this was the place to put this. I have this glove that was signed by the '96 Yankees that I'm trying to sell. The signatures are pretty faded so I'm having to figure out how to sell it. I figured I'd put some pictures with it; the problem is I don't know who is in them. Can anyone identify these?

1: paul o'neill
2: scott kamieniecki
3: dwight gooden
4: cecil fielder
5: mariano duncan
i can't say i'm 100% sure on a couple of these (fielder and duncan are locks, kamieniecki and gooden are decent guesses, and the more i look at that first one the more i think it's not actually paul o'neill at all, but then the sharp jaw makes me think it is)
fire up the cpt. mars signal

O'neil was my first thought for the first one but I wasn't sure. I used to be super into baseball but now I barely remember anything. Thanks for the help.

I think the first is Tino Martinez.

There's also one more I'm having trouble with.

god i'm an idiot, yeah that first picture is tino for sure
on the new pic, the white dude in profile is a tough one (when all you really have is the haircut and the nose, this shit is hard; first guess after a couple minutes of research is david cone), but that guy on the right i'm pretty sure is kenny rogers (he faaaaat)

Yeah I think it's Cone. So I just need to find out 2 and 3 for sure then.

i can't think of why pic #2 would be of you with scott "11.12 ERA" kamieniecki, but based on the shape of the face and the build it's the best guess i had
guess he had to get a photo op with a crippled kid to reassure himself that he wasn't a completely terrible human being (just a completely terrible baseball player)
#3 is going to drive me fucking nuts because gooden is the closest guess i've got, but the nose looks a little too small to be his, every shot most shots i can find of him with the yankees show him clean-shaven, and also he's smiling, which throws me off, because doc gooden is not a man who smiles much (but again, crippled kid)
[e] okay now i'm thinking even more it might be him (http://www.checkoutmycards.com/CardImages/Cards/242/724/02F.jpg)

I believe it was through someone that knows David Cone that the whole thing was set up. I was just kind of there; I don't think the players knew that I would be there. And you can't just walk past a 10 year-old cripple and not say something.
Anyway, thanks for the help, I think I have everything I need.

It's like he got caught in the act; also invisible hand rest.
edit: run those through photochop so they don't look like ass

I attempted to crop them correctly but photoshop, for some reason, didn't want to get rid of the white outline. Anyway, I don't think it matters how they look. They're just to give some sort of verification to the glove.

I've already sent them on. Not gonna bother trying to get the pictures to crop perfectly.

I didn't crop it, I fixed the fucking levels which is why yours is all washed out and shitty looking and mines all purty.

So I was able to sell the glove for $200. Thanks Moe.

Though the person who bought it could still send it back if the signatures are too faded.
