CL For Sale ---- Nike steel, shins and catcher CP in Beaverton, Oregon

[wolfe_man]

Not my ad.... but this is for sale in Beaverton, OR.   The lady won't do online sales - pickup only.

I wish I were closer as seems like a good deal.

I was all over this, and on the verge of calling @BT_Blue to "go git' it!" until I saw that the Nike Steel mask in question is not a Nike Icon, but instead the Nike "Teardrop" design. This was a hollow steel mask that Nike had on retail shelves for about 4-5 year span. @JaxRolo had one at one time. The Nike Icon (which was made in Titanium and Steel versions to the same planform) has never seen North American retail shelves. The Icon and Teardrop are two different planforms, with the Teardrop having a narrower, more pinched chin guard (hence the name "teardrop") and strut-less ear guards. The shape is also deeper and more spherical, while the Icon is a bit shallower and more low-profile. It's a very good mask, but not the vaunted Icon.

Then, reading further, I found my face twisting in annoyance that this gear was used by the seller's son as a Plate Umpire for Little League. 

I may be interested in it to use as bullpen / pitching lane catcher's gear though, so I'm contemplating it...

Hate to tell you, but @wolfe_man already contacted me. Beaverton is a bit out of my way on a normal basis. And when I get into Beaverton, that area is less than friendly to semi trucks.

Please lock it up. Not sure if it sold, but I'd have no way of knowing and the lady won't ship so she's on her own.
