Bad Vintage Batting Helmets
 

Thanks to Brock and his thread on another Site, I almost fell prey to this scammer:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MILW...0AAOSwsFpWS30e


This seller is a piece of work.

http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...ad.php?t=55099

he also sold a "Roger Maris" helmet for 700 bucks a few months ago if you view his feedback.

A genuine Roger Maris helmet would probably go for $7000.

another one
 

Notice how he conveniently leaves the player names out of the title and description, Bobby Richardson, Eddie Mathews, etc. You would think he would include these names IF they were authentic to that player, but here by leaving them out he makes his listings free of the fraudulant info., what a piece of work.

sorry to be a thread hog....
 

but I want to keep a chain of this for future reference should these pop up at other auction houses, so I'm going to continue to add to this thread with images and descriptions, so I/we can refer back down the road.

So these ones I'm now adding are in addition to Brock thread from another Site and his recent sales of a fake Roger Maris, and Joe Pepitone

VINTAGE MILWAUKEE BRAVES ABC BASEBALL BATTING HELMET

GOT IT FROM SOMEONE WHO GOT IT FROM DELBERT MICKEL ? PICTURE 6&7 ARE OF A RECENTLY SOLD MILWAUKEE BRAVES CAP FROM THE 50s WITH SIMILAR NUMBER STENCIL(HAT NOT PART OF THIS AUCTION). #41 UNDER BRIM, 41 ON DOME FOAM AND A SMALL EM ON THE ABC STICKER. THERE IS ALSO WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE SIZE 7 1/8 IN FADED MARKER ON THE FOAM TOP PIECE.

Price went from $500 to $400 to $350 in a matter of 3 days, he obviously is looking to dump them quick. Also, he shows an Eddie Mathews pix in the auction, but conveniently leave his name out of the title and description to protect himself)

Title:
VINTAGE ABC BASEBALL BATTING HELMET

Description:
from 1960s

(he conveniently shows Bobby Richardson tagging on the inside, leading you to believe it was game worn by him, but leaves the name out of the description to protect himself)

and deals in game worn jacket
 

Greg Maddux Game Worn Jacket Atlanta Braves


our class A Carolina league team was an affiliate of the Atlanta braves 2011-2014 here in lynchburg and this maddux jacket was a stadium promo giveway one night during that time. we are now with the Cleveland Indians. marked 31 and "mad dog" on tag and collar and "mad dog" maddux on lining on lower right inside lining. it was also autographed but the winner took( Gary) took it home and washed it and whatever maddux signed it with was not permanent. anyhow "gary" is known as one of the biggest boosters for the hillcats and when we became affiliates of Cleveland he wanted an Indians jacket so I traded him a Mitchell and ness for this one. he's happy.

(not sure on this one, but hard to believe a HOFer game worn jacket going for only 199.99, also from the past thread he supposedly sold a bad Reggie Jackson game worn jersey, so you be the judge)

VINTAGE NEW YORK YANKEES JOE PEPITONE KINSTON EAGLES ABC BASEBALL BATTING HELMET

from Yankees to Kinston eagles(farm club 1970) from Robert Smeraldo sr. equip. & clubhouse man Kinston eagles. marked #25 Pepi(joe pepitone?) parent club(Yankees) sent used equip. to minor league clubs(Kinston eagles, class A) to be used. I played American legion ball there in 1969 & 1970 (see pic of newspaper clipping)

VINTAGE 1968 NEW YORK YANKEES ROCKY COLAVITO ABC BASEBALL BATTING HELMET


bought from former 1972 & 73 yankee batboy here on ebay, comes with a copy of his letter where he got it directly from Pete Sheehy during move from old yankee stadium to temp shea stadium in 1973 during building of new stadium. he sold several of these on ebay and I bought all but 1(got outbid);rocky colavito only played 1 year(1968) for new York so it dates to that year(plus name and number inside)

I love how each one has a different story on how he obtained.

also has a negative feedback:

"Sold me a fake/counterfeit M1951 Parka that seller listed as "GENUINE"."


however, to his defense, 99% of the feedback is positive. So I'm sure the majority of his non-sports related items are fine.

I noticed that he also likes to claim he got items from Jim Bibby who passed away in 2010. Despicable.

The description for the Maddux jacket is absolutely the best thing I've read in a long term.
