quick end of season bump for the plus pos mask. $40 shipped? Somebody take this cheap and put the new gerry davis pads in it?!

Ok, decided I'm going to stick with the hockey mask, so rearranging the post and re-listing the +Pos Zro-G with a price drop. Somebody please take it from me! I have a (somewhat beat up) All-Star pre-cobalt skull cap I can throw in for free if you want to try it out with the mask as well.

one more bump

Just the helmet left...anybody want to try a bucket for fall ball?

@concertman1971 needs no reviews or introduction but was a great buyer as well! Just updated the listing with a pair of sunglasses and helmet. Happy to answer any questions

CP sold -- bump for the remainder. Feel free to make offers!

Sunglasses sold, thank you @concertman1971! Bump for the rest.

Sorry about that -- my mental math was to figure out what I wanted for each item and add ~$10 to cover shipping. If somebody were to buy two items, rather than charge them the full sum including my estimated independent shipping cost for both (i.e. $140. for both mask and chest protector), I would take a few bucks off to reflect that I was still netting more or less what I wanted for each item, the buyer was getting multiple items at a good price, and I can make one fewer trip to the post office. What I meant by "discount/combine shipping" was that I'm combining shipping on my end and effectively giving you a discount relative to the sum of the two items. Hope that makes sense!

Have rediscovered the joy of trying and cycling through gear at a moderate loss, and need to pass on a few things I either bought used or can't return and decided not to keep around. All prices include shipping to continental US. Happy to discount/combine shipping for multiple items. 1. +Pos Zro-G mask, Black frame, black pads. Straps untrimmed. Very good condition. $45. 2. West Vest Gold CP, s/m 11in. Bought used, seems in very good condition except that the vinyl covers on the straps connecting a couple of the plastic plates is cracking/peeling. Not sure what this is about -- sun damage? The connecting material underneath seems fine. Bought with the intention of doing a retrofit later in the year but decided I am happy with my Cobalt CP. $80 3. Cobalt leg guards, 15in. Used for a few games. Pardon the cat in one of the photos. $65 4. Oakley Fast Jacket, black, several lenses (g30, persimmon, VR28 black, Walleva clear). Case and extra Walleva nose/earpieces included. Discontinued model from my own playing days I dug back up. Bought the clear lenses new and haven't used them. G30 and VR28 lenses are in excellent/like new condition. There are some scratches on the persimmon lenses as pictured but I was fine wearing them. Hard case and soft baggie included. $80. 5. Under Armour catcher's chest protector. Bought used for the Delta Flex harness but no longer need (see CP choice above). Will likely sell on Ebay but thought I'd throw it up here -- maybe someone else can also use the harness or wants a project? $20 6. Oakley Flak XL sunglasses, gloss black with Prizm Field lens. Light use, no marks on lenses or frames that I can see. Will include original case and extra nose pieces. $80 7. All-Star MVP Pro Helmet, matte black. Very light use, tried the bucket for a few games and decided it was too much mask for me. Took one glancing shot off the right temple-ish area -- there was a ball mark that seemed to buff out easily but just wanted to disclose. $165 mask pictures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KIE3FjlaDy-pJUcNJqfO0KVsglG5gJFs?usp=drive_link Thanks!

To add to @greenboy11's response, it looks to me that both (2) and (3) are both intended for catchers rather than umpires and have a longer brim (though in my experience they would likely work with most traditional masks with a traditional profile (not the FM4000(mag))). It appears to me that (3) is an updated version of (2) with removable, washable padding. (2) is closer to what I used in my playing days, and I found it perfectly comfortable at the time.

@UmpAK

Fresh caseplay for the fire for a situation that's been discussed ad nauseam here

I hope not!!

I had a catcher ask me for the count after the third pitch of nearly every at bat in a JV game last night. I shouldn't speculate on patterns amongst the next generation but...it is tempting. I thought about asking him what math class he was in.

Ok, I found myself thinking about this the other day while I was getting ready for my game as well. I lace the shoes under the protection plate up to the reinforced tab on the tongue, then up through the eyelets on the plate, then across to the topmost eyelets at the ankles, then tie at the ankle. I tried lacing them all the way up, then back down through the eyelets on the tongue, but it put the laces more in the way. Is this what others do as well?
