Aluminum? I wasn't aware that Rawlings ever made an aluminum mask.

Either this guy doesn't know what he has, or he does know, and knows that there is "fear" in the market regarding Titanium masks...

... which that one is.

I think he means titanium

He may mean Titanium, but that's not what he stated in the listing. He states it's Aluminum.., twice... which means he doesn't know what he has.

... or does, and is misrepresenting it.

Which brings to mind a certain "Umpire Expert" holding a FM4000 out in front of a crowded room of umpires claiming, repeatedly, that this is a titanium mask. Or what Diamond did to increase the popularity of the DFM-iX3-UMP – never state what it is made of and offer it in a Titanium color.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MARKWORT-Catcher-Umpire-Mask-W-TINTED-UPPER-LENS-NICE-/371873702227?hash=item5695666153:g:ydoAAOSw~AVYrPC8

It's a Honigs K-4, "weathered" from silver back to "raw" hollow steel, with black leather pads... and yes, it includes a Markwort visor. Obviously, the seller does not know gear.

That could be a fun one to send off to mask it... I've put my bid in.

BUYER BEWARE! ANOTHER NIKE SCAMMER! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nike-PRO-Titanium-Mask-Pads-And-Harness-With-Wilson-Ti-LOW-PROFILE-umpire-Mask-/351997455366?hash=item51f4aeec06:g:c5MAAOSwXYtYu2E

Looks like they bought some Nike pads and put them in a damaged Wilson TI frame and trying to pass it off as a new Nike.

 

Um.. he says it is the nike pads with the Wilson Ti frame.... 

 

 

I'd say the bigger issue is that he wants a starting bid of $210 for a dented Wilson TI

Always nice of them to point out when they are trying to sell something damaged for full price (plus some.)

Also... it isn't like this mask it hard to come by in New-Veiw. But since "all the minor league guys are trying to find it" maybe we should all buy one.

He owns them, just doesn't wear them.

May want to sell those. Could probably get $400 a pop from those crazy Minor League guys.

Interesting..... it appears that the shinguard has been autographed by Bob Davidson.  Maybe I'll ask him if it's authentic.     And that mask..... :o   that mask!

Wow! I saw a guy with the old composite resin mask at a LL clinic this spring.

 

But the crown jewel there has got to be the BB2000!

If you're looking to drop some lbs this summer, this is the chest protector for you!

Looks like something they used in the movie 'Braveheart'.   :o
