Just got this in. The Zett special edition Prostatus gloves have some top notch craftsmanship. Right up there with Mizuno Haga and Ryu. While the infield line of the Special Edition series often leans into European Kip for responsiveness, this mitt opts for high-density, Prostatus North American Steerhide. Below is the details about the mitt.
This Zett featurez professional-grade leather processed in the Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, the epicenter of world-class baseball leather production. The hides undergo a proprietary multi-stage tanning process specifically designed for Zett's Pro Status line, balancing high-tensile strength with the refined, consistent grain finish required for professional-level equipment."
It is a "Mori-type" pattern, named after the legendary Japanese backstop Tomoya Mori.
Unlike the wider, flatter mitts common in the States, this is a 'Tate-gata' (vertical) profile. It’s compact by design. The goal isn't just to block the ball; it’s to funnel it. By shifting the hinge to close thumb-to-pinky, it creates an incredibly deep, secure pocket right where your hand needs it for an instant transfer.
Question about the “No scalping or price gouging” rule. Asking to understand and not call anyone out. Please don’t ban me again. I’m not name calling or being a jerk (and never did. Saying someTHING was sheisty is not the same as calling someONE sheisty. I’m seeking to understand. Maybe the mods and the potential sub members aren’t on the same page.
What qualifies as scalping, price gouging, or flipping? Could we get some concrete examples?
This is directly from the rules as of May 19.
“If top dollar is your top priority, you may need to go elsewhere to sell. Leave the profit-flipping to online retailers and auction sites. We’re all glove enthusiasts and value a good deal, so if you need to "make your money back" or turn a profit on a glove, please list it on the kinds of sites mentioned above, not r/BaseballGlovers. If you try to flip a glove above MSRP, or above retailer/auction market value, sell a Wilson "Bonanza" glove or Marucci Wildcard a week after the sale for a markup, or any other obvious gouging... you will be warned and you post will be removed.
Transactions and Sales
We want to keep the sub honest and thriving. Remember, the goal is to share our love of Baseball Gloves and equipment, offer better than retail and exclusive deals to our community you can't find elsewhere. We aren't here to profit off each other or take advantage of our newer members. We are here to Foster a welcoming community to sell and buy baseball gear and where everyone get a W.”
Given the above bolded parts…if anyone benefits from a glitch in pricing and buys multiple gloves…and then re-lists them “below MSRP” but still well above what all informed buyers know was paid…how is that any different from the Wilson bonanza example? Is that not against the rules?
If people would like please comment what the threshold is from “fair price” to “that’s a gouge.”
Baseball express/SBF exclusive. Rawlings PROBH3HTG 13”. Despite being used for men’s softball the glove still looks and feels fantastic.
I am selling the following gloves as I am trying to slim down my collection.
2. Glove studio Ryu custom: ~11.25”, has 22 stitched into pinky, but no other custom writing/name. Broken in one or two hinge , game ready, used for catch on turf, but never gamed. Good condition (7.5/10)$350 SOLD
Rawlings Heart of the Hide made in Japan: Brand NWT, 11.5”, Japanese leather, clean slate for you to break in yourself.
$325
ASICS Gold stage nubuck leather: ~11.25” by my measure, brand new never used. I believe this is kip leather which has been given a nubuck treatment (no idea how it would hold up under use)
$400
Open to offers. Located in Canada, prices in USD.
SOLD
Looking to sell my used Wilson MY7. 12.5” OF glove, can be used for slow pitch as well. Nothing wrong with the glove just looking to move some pieces. $170 shipped. Glove was used for a couple games and broken in. Can still be shaped to personal preference. I broke in TIP, dual hinge. Can answer any questions anyone may have, or provide additional pics if needed. Have sold gloves here before. Transparency through purchase and shipping process. US only please(just to avoid tariffs and shipping costs).
$150 shipped
Used but in great shape. Broken in, feels great worn traditionally or 2IP. A few minor signs of wear - minor cracking on wrist welting, scuffs on fingertips, and small frays on the mesh. Still has lots of life left. Super lightweight with the mesh shell.
Sweet pro issue a2k in vintage tan. Laced like a 1788 but is the size of a 1786, cool feature pointed out to me after I shared it on Instagram!
I’ve had a couple people reach out in chat. Starting this thread to detail it for anyone persistent or crazy enough to spend the time (over 7 calls +5 hours on phone). I, like everyone else ordered the Bryce Harper First Base Mitt (1-2) on April 28th: But Received the Carlos Carrera Fielder’s Model. (4-5)
Here’s the return process I used:
Call Walmart.Com
1 (800) 966-6546
Not 1-800-Walmart they can’t help with this.
Just keep calling, be persistent. It took several phone calls. Don’t ever say give me a refund or allow them to say they’ll cancel your order.
You will have to agree to ship the “mistake glove” (picture 4-5) back via Fed-ex. This made me extremely nervous. Especially after I did and then my order sat there for quite a while in limbo on the replacement.
Don’t accept the narrative that they can’t. Be prepared to be frustrated with the process, don’t use profanity, be respectful but forceful.
Ask for a supervisor, and then when they say no, ask for the senior supervisor, if they say no ask for the call center manager. Write down names, ask for incident numbers.
Rawlings still makes the Bryce Harper glove. It’s in stock at Rawlings. (and for the moment, also on Wal-mart)
If they say they can’t because it’s out of stock tell them you’ll wait until it is. If they argue, use the tactic of, Give me the Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Model that is in stock right now. (Picture 3) Yes the price is different. However the original base price in both gloves is identical. $419.99, that means when the Bryce Harper comes in, they are still having to markdown the price to the same amount. Same amount of money, same profit. Tell them you don’t care about the color. That the glove, Pro preferred, the pattern DCT, and being a first base glove is what matters.
Keep reinforcing that you want what you ordered. That this isn’t your fault. That multiple other customers are all going through this. Mention calling your state attorney generals office on bait and switch tactics if you have too, and escalating all the way to Walmart.coms corporate office in California as well.
This will take time but don’t give up. Finally got the glove 5-15-26.
Update:
An alternate and sounds like significantly easier method posted by AmericanVito in his post here. Gotta give credit where credit is due. https://www.reddit.com/r/BaseballGloves/s/zqHAWy8yHe.
Whats out there for trades? Have the Walmart Correa, while as nice as it is, H webs arent my style.
Whats our there for trades of similar value?

All prices OBO. I want these gone, so let's make a deal.
Grace 12.5" H-web: Two-hinge break in for two/three in the pinky. Pocket is 90% broken in. Very tanky feeling glove, legitimately as nice as the HOH/A2000's I've had. Asking $150 shipped.
Wilson A2403 mitt - Allegedly 33", but feels like a 32". Smaller hand stall, as Wilson's tend to have. Pocket needs break in. The glove closes well, but the pocket is not developed so it is quite shallow at the moment. Asking $60 shipped.
*SOLD* Easton Flagship 1B mitt - Not broken in at all. Palm and heel are quite soft, as is the case with all sub-$150 gloves. Pocket needs a bunch of work to get the close nice. As nice as the new A1000 line that I've messed with. Asking $60 shipped.
This glove is brand new and still has the tags on. This glove is beautiful with the traditional colorway.
Looking for $275 Shipped. Payment through PayPal Goods & Services so we both have protection.
UPDATE: SOLD
[FOR SALE / TRADE]
Like a lot of people from the recent Walmart Rawlings mix-up, I ended up with a brand new Rawlings Pro Preferred Carlos Correa model instead of the Bryce Harper Pro Preferred that was originally listed.
At this point I’ve pretty much given up on ever getting the Harper model and am mainly just looking for a quality first base mitt instead.
Interested in trades for:
Rawlings Horween
Timberglaze
Pro Preferred / HOH first base mitts
A2000
similar quality options from any other company.
Also open to selling.
New with tags, factory wrap still on, box included.
11.5” and shaped in Japan. Euro Kip. The break-in is perfect. Love the yellow tan liner and contrast stitching. The craftsmanship on this is on par with Haga, and Ryu IMO. These aren’t the cheap Zetts we all come across on eBay. Retail plus the shipping and customs comes out to about $575. I am on IG if referrals or legit check status is needed. Baseballglovestc
For those of us "lucky" enough to get in on the $197 PP and $141 HoH deals from Walmart, what "replacement" gloves have you received?
I ordered the RHT black 12.5" HoH ContoUR fit, received a RHT mint 12.75" HoH glove instead.
I ordered the RHT BH3 PP 13" blonde DCT but received a RHT red Correa PP 11.75".
Walmart only offer a refund for the red PP, no option to get a replacement, so I am keeping it.
I returned the mint HoH, and Walmart shipped out a "replacement" yesterday.
Wondering what "replacements" other people have received?
It’s probably a long shot but does anyone happen to have a lead on this specific glove? 2020 Wilson A2000 1799. Walnut brown and black. I just missed one from play it again sports. It was in my cart when someone grabbed it.
Edited to add: RHT
*SOLD* Fully broken in, minor wear in the pocket. Broken in with a 2 hinge close. Equally comfortable worn straight up, finger out or shifted, finger out. Super deep pocket that funnels balls just perfectly. Asking $260 shipped OBO. Timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/pXvo0wH
