Isn't this more likely an Andy Marte #20 or another player as it is shows tons of use with paint coming off bill, etc and Kobabyahsi has never had an MLB at bat?

Great looking Tribe helmet either way

It comes from Mike's Sporting Goods (do a search for him) so I don't know. Either way, I'm holding out for the Keyser Soze helmet.

It looks like the Indians sold it as a Kobayashi helmet....was not questioning the legitamacy of seller..just think the Indians screwed up based on the amount of use that helmet shows.....Kobayahsi has ZERO MLB at bats ( American League pitcher)...Most likely an Andy Marte helmet as he wore #20 in 2006-2007
It will be interesting to see how smart the Japanese collectors are and how much it goes for.

Meant to say Andy Marte wore #30 in 2006-2007...Kobayahsi wore #30 in 2008 but never had an AB
