It's believed to have been worn during the legend's World Series-winning season.

The New Jersey-based auction house believes that the glove was most likely Robinson’s backup mitt, used primarily in warmups before the game. Hence, the glove is in good condition with no signs of re-lacing, according to Goldin. Authenticator PSA/DNA lists in its database that the Wilson was primarily used during the 1955 and 1956 seasons and the glove bears the “42” written on it that has appeared in mitts Robinson was photographed playing in.

“When the Brooklyn Dodgers went to LA, a lot of players gave him mementos of their playing days in appreciation of the loyalty he showed them. Among these players were Gil Hodges, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Pee Wee Reese,” is written in the original letter of provenance for the piece of memorabilia.. However, the price is expected to go as high as $750,000 before the auction ends on October 1.
