Buying: Tan Team Wendy pads & +POS ZRO-G frame

[MikeSafari]

If anyone has either of these kicking around, I'd love to buy them from you. I need a backup mask and I love my +POS and would love to try a second one with Team Wendy pads.

PM me with your price

My zero gravity silver split in two, took foul ball from wood bat league 18 and up. Pitcher pitched at army. I ordered the Wilson aluminum silver next day.

I sent it back to plus pos and called have heard nothing back. All good.

The shipping cost will kill you.

Dammit, @MikeSafari, if I was headed to Cooperstown this year – like I've done for the past five years – I'd be meeting up with you in Ontario to exchange and deliver. Take your pick of locale, anywhere from Windsor to Niagara Falls, I drive that line enroute to upstate NY. I have a Passcard and really dislike Ohio (sorry, my fellow umpires from Ohio, I don't like your state).

I even have the exact rig you're after, a +POS ZRO-G with tan TWs. The only hitches are its finish has dulled, and probably needs to go to MaskIt sometime, and I do unfortunately need it as my main Nike Steel is off to MaskIt for critical repair after  a foul-off cracked the primary weld.

There isn't a way to have it shipped to Buffalo and then you remove all retail tags off it and then just zip back across?

It's generally not so bad as long as people use USPS. I've bought and sold a few things on here without much issue.

Grrr. Well, I was looking to send it away to Tony right away anyway as I'd prefer a matte silver to go with the tan TWs. I'll be sending my current rig in to be matte blacked when the season is over in August/September as the powder coat has started chipping away (contrary to @Dan dada's insistence that it can't, even when provided with photographic evidence that it does. And I baby the hell out of my mask, even going so far as to keep it in a separate bag from the rest of my gear).

I like Dan and his (+POS) gear, a lot. If it wasn't for Nike masks, I'd use +POS ZRO-G's and even likely the MAG-T. If it wasn't for Force3 UnEquals (V2!) and Schutt XV's, I'd use the new Cobra CP. If it wasn't for Force3 Ultimate shinguards, I'd use his BB313 LowPro shinguards. I've talked with him at length on the phone... I get his methodology and philosophy for building umpire gear. But on the issue of "powder coating" his masks? He's dead wrong. The silver ZRO-G suffers from the same dulling that All-Star FM4000's, Easton SpeedElite's, and Champro CM72's suffer from – that's a factory applied paint job by a massive manufacturing plant in China, and it wears off. Nothing to be ashamed of, but just call a spade a spade. Actual powder coating, done by someone who knows what he/she's doing (ie. Tony), will (nearly) never wear off.

@MadMax, speaking the truth about the silver finish. Tony redid my FM4000 over a year ago and it still looks great. This is Tony's matte black.

Tony is the King of the mountain when we talk about powder coating in the U.S.A.
