Dodgers Batting Helmet

[MichaelS]

I am a fan of the Dodgers and came across this photomatch of James Looney batting helmet.







What do you think?

It's tough to see most of it, but that dark marking on the white 'LA' connector is quite compelling.

[Scott Garner]

I agree! The mark on the the LA logo cinches it for me.
Good photo match!

Do you think 300 is to much money?

That price sounds about right... If you would list it for $299, and have a "Best Offer" option, I would think that $250 - $275 would be acceptable.

A star player, but not likely a future HOFer. The photomatch adds lots of value.... would probably be about a $150 piece without it.

If you list it, just be sure to get his name right (Loney - not Looney). You might miss a lot of potential searches with that mis-spelling. Hope this helps.

$300 is not too much money if you're a James Loney collector, IMHO.
This seems reasonable to me.

[perezfan]

I just assumed you were looking to sell it. If you are asking whether $300 is too much (as a prospective buyer), only you can determine how much it means to you. If I were a Loney fan, and in the market for his helmet (and saw the photomatch), I would not hesitate to drop the $300. Seems like a rare opportunity.

But I would still probably offer $250 first (assuming there's a best offer option available). Most sellers build a little "cushion" into their selling price. Market value is often hard to determine when there's a nice photo-match like this.

Either way, best of luck!

until he starts to hit, he is LOONEY to me. . can't wait until he meets Greg Brock at the Old-timers game....They both suckED!!!Then the ass, rams and clips cars on the Ventura FWY going 120MPH, sweating profusely, yelling at the cops. I hate LOONEY. Personally, photo matched or not, I wouldn't want to clutter for.50 cent.

I don't own it, the seller has it listed at $350. I am looking to start a collection and thought this would be a nice piece to start. I am going to wait and see what the oral Hershiser World Series Batting helmet goes for on Heritage Auctions. I understand it might go for alot more than I can afford.

Thanks

The seller of the helmet is a reputable and well know game used dealer.

So would a Buy It Now be a Looney BIN?
