You have first hand knowledge to affirm this? Or you are assuming it as a fact?

It was a joke.  He said in the auction that he has his other mask he is using as he "play college baseball" and was selling this new one.  For all I know he plays NAIA or JUCO and is not regulated by the NCAA.  Like I said, it was a joke.

The paper will hold anything that is wrote in it. Remember everything that is on the Internet is TRUE. :sarcasm:

Seriously, I thought "well, it's like Amazon marketplace, where they just put prices up and hope someone pays", but FFS, that's an auction-driven price!

I was in on the bidding for another one that ended up selling for $406. My max price was $300 though.

Knuckleheaded Idiot  

BTW I have the Diamond with Team Wendy and the Nike I've tried on is much better than that one.

Better at denting.  check.  Better at breaking.  check

But definitely a better logo. That right there is worth $150. ;)

$345 for Honig's plate shoes. I know a lot of people missed the old style of shoe from +POS and Honigs but I had no idea it was like that. I wonder if there was some emotional bidding going on there?

I've got a pair of old (but in great shape) +POS low tops, and Gerry Davis Patent leather low tops. Reserved only for four man special occasions. The +POS, IMO, are still the best looking plate shoes ever produced, and the most durable. But they're just so freaking heavy, compared to NB or Reebok.

 

For masks, I've had most, but like how the shape of the Honig's fits my face. Every face is different, yet nobody ever talks about fit. It's all about a couple of grams one way or the other.

He wrote that he paid $900 for all that. That is total bologna.

I know. I'll bet $400 max

Would anyone be caught dead in one of those things nowadays? Or does it appeal more to the nostalgia/collector crowd?

we still have a few guys that wear these - time to retire them!
