@MadMax Just wondering when you will be able to ship the 4 pairs of shoes to me? I'll be starting to outfit the new guys with gear in a couple of weeks. Thanks... ump7tony

@MadMax I didn't know @Mr Ump but you must have respected him a great deal to volunteer to drive his personal effects 1700 miles to his family. It's tough to lose a fellow umpire and friend. Thank you for your kindness to his family and his memory.

MadMax ... 2 guys in my group are looking for plate shoes. How much do you want for each pair shipped in the same box to Wilmington, DE 19809?

I've removed several billow pads from Platinum CPs. I've found it better to use a sharp kitchen knife that will slide along the plastic to cut the stitches without hacking thru the pad. Box cutter or anything with a thick handle and short blade can make it difficult to cut just the thread.

I've used the JB Weld products to repair cuts in my shoes. The leather repair product works great. Be sure the cut is clean. I wash with alcohol and a toothbrush to remove dirt, polish, oil, etc. Let it dry fully, then mix and swab on the filler. If you take the time to create some dimples to match the leather grain before the filler cures, and then after it cures sand/ScotchBrite(r) the filler to level it with the surrounding leather, you'll have a repair with texture matching the leather. Finish with a high quality polish...I use Tarrago... and the repair should be undetectable.

I have a pair of Mizuno plate shoes size 9. Excellent condition. Wore them for a few games but they are just a bit too small for me. $145 shipped CONUS. ... ump7tony

Thanks Chris... TheLovejoy...! The CP is exactly as you described. And working the transaction with you was easy. You're a good seller... Tony... ump7tony

@redsox I've modified the Platinum in the original photo, but I have a newer one you can have. It's in excellent condition...no rust, clean/stainfree pads, minimal wear, a really clean unit. I've attached photos of the CP you would receive. It was hard to find one this nice. But I have too many CPs and I'm not going to use this one. So...for the low price of $90 plus $15 for USPS shipping , it is yours. I can accept Venmo or PayPal. Would one of those work for you? ... ump7tony

@redsox25 Yes, the Platinum is still available.

The Cobra and the Platinum are still available.

@MadMax I've been using the Adams XV for several years. Like it a lot, but I'd really like to get the Schutt version having the D30 pad. Any possibility that you would sell or trade yours now the you're a Davis user?

I have the 15" S7 CP and would like to trade it for the 12" model. The 15" is too big for me.

Platinum is 13.5"

I've been customizing umpire equipment for many years. When I saw your posting about your mod, I thought... Hey, I've been doing that for years to keep the shoulder pads tucked in. It should be "The Tony Mod". 😃 FYI... I also replaced the stock harness...which is excellent... with 2 elastic straps that I crisscross in back and fasten to the front of the CP with velcro. Adjustable, no metal clips to cut shirt, no plastic clips to break, and the best feature... unzip the straps and drop the CP without having to struggle getting my shirt over it after the game. I really like this CP and if it was the 13" version, I'd keep it. This 15" is to long for me. So I'm sticking with my Adams VX with "MadMax Mods" plus several other mods for now.

I have several CPs available.... - Champion P210 (C) $40 - Champion P240 $40 - +POS Cobra $100 - Force3 V2 (cosmetic wear on edges) $125 - WV Platinum (B) $90 - AllStar 7 (CP4000-15 inch) $100 - AllStar Cobalt (all pieces come with it) $135 Shipping...about $15 each.
