catsbackr Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 You're gonna buy someone else's custom made chest protector? That makes no sense.Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twood71 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm the same height and chest size... So yes it makes sense. Once again I'm asking what do these usually sell for used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsbackr Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I've hardly ever seen them for sale, due to the fact that they are custom made for the individual. And since Cece died...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejt Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 At one point the Carucci was a collectors item. When Cece passed, the price spiked, especially when several MLB guys were seen wearing them in tribute to him. I think that's over now, as the technology has left those protectors far behind in protection and comfort. Now, it's just the cool factor that's left. If you're buying it as piece of gear to wear every day, don't. If you're buying it impress your umpire buddies, then the value is up to whatever two guys on eBay are willing to duel it out to. It's kinda like a navy plate coat. $50-250, depending how stubborn two bidders might get. If you're getting one that fits you, and it's going to be worn on special occasions, I could see the price for near new one at $150. I could see it having collectors value, especially if is has any written documentation from Cece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejt Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 My best find wasn't on eBay. It was at a local Goodwill. Three pair of brand new Hardwick umpire pants. Two plates, and one base. Unhemmed, and tags with the MLB umpire's number still on them. This umpire is newly "retired", and I have seen some of his stuff pop up there again. Hanging out for the closet to empty.
