Thanks Alan and Mark for the replies!! I agree Alan, masks seem relatively reasonable and display well and seems like a piece of equipment that would take alot of hell over several seasons making early nice ones difficult to find.
Mark's information point by point sounds logical enough to me. I appreciate the education you just gave me on the subject!
I couldn't find any of that anywhere on the web but that's where your experience comes into play.
I'm thinking I need to turn this thread into a "Show your catcher's masks" thread to see what's out there
