I played baseball from 6 to 21 with 3 different gloves. I had a 4th backup glove that was my dad's glove from the late 70s (that I used in the early 2000s and was fine). The glove my parents bought the summer before my freshman year of high school is still fine to play catch with my daughter 16 years later. If I take care of it, I don't see any reason it would deteriorate beyond play for at least another 20 years. My current glove isn't special, just a standard Rawlings glove that I've kept oiled.
