Is this a TW Platinum?  I just bought it , so I hope so.

It has the right look. Stock pad is grey as we all know and TW is black.

Description says it is “unused”, so I’m unsure of how new it is.

Here’s a pic of mine, guaranteed Team Wendy. Some differences but who knows what they varied. I cut the rib wings down by half and opened up the collar. B649133E-4C18-4ACF-92AF-AEF7FF3CA651.thumb.jpeg.40028fe2ecaf89e213017bc88d3f74eb.jpeg

Thanks Jim.  Didn't TW put a logo on these too or not?

I had a TW Douglas WAY back .... and I don't recall any logo on the CP padding ... maybe a small tag, but not certain

No logo on mine. Don’t remember if the neck had a tag when I modified it.

I've never gotten to see one in person that I can remember. But jealously ogling them on line when ever they are shared, I don't recall a logo.

I suppose these would be great if you used the scissors stance in a left handed batters only league.

Lol

I went through the sellers eBay store just to see what else there was. The one lone shin guard is the only umpire thing he has. And there is maybe a handful of other baseball stuff. The rest is... eclectic to say the least.

Two things:

1. The item is listed as "new without tags." I'm pretty sure they're not new. They haven't been used a lot, but they're not "new."

2. It looks like it's a pair by this picture. Pretty sure this guy has zero idea about what he has.image.png.ffb7065a1728b03184e7f75731018ed4.png

The Force3 is definitely on its own. 

Those Rawlings are definitely a set (of 2), nested together.

Oh... 100% he doesn't. Just look at what he has. It's all over the map.

Super duper rare find:

A Nike Steel Titanium Catcher Umpire mask:

s-l1600.jpg

I mean, it is rare. It's a Nike "Teardrop", which I'm convinced is a Mizuno made for and marketed through Nike here in the USA. Nike only sold them, on retail shelves, for 3-4(?) years, and stopped marketing them as the enforcement of NFHS Rules has strengthened. 

But it sure ain't Titanium.

They're Hannibal Lecter masks.  They're made for professional psychopaths.

In reality, they are boxing aka sparring masks on the left.  The third one might be an older version.

Why not just...hey...let's go spar, ok?

Ok, sure...sounds good.

So, I need to work on my eye gougings, fish hooks and nose rips. Do you have a Muay Thai mask?

I'm sorry...I don't...

Ok, how about we agree not to work on those things today?

Ok...sounds good...I don't really have $40 to spend on a Muay Thai mask. Simply making the decision to not make head shots seems a much more reasonable way to go...

If you did wear one behind the plate, hell - even in the field, would that lessen the chances a coach would come out to you and argue?  I mean, you are exuding you are ready for the fight...
