    There is no pine tar on the helmet in the video. The location of the name sticker on the brim looks different but I cannot say for sure.

    What do other folks think?

      Actually the sticker looks folded on the same corner in both space between the bottom of the sticker and the end of the brim look similar. (more so in the top photo than the bottom)

        I agree….my first thought was that the sticker looked like it was folded up in the same exact spot…..

              Here's a still of the back of the helmet. The mlb sticker looks slated towards the top left like the helmet.

                I'm seeing pine tar, and it appears to match the slice of missing tar by the white part of the "M".
                Thanks,
                Jimmy

                  The pine tar was fresh in 1992 which was why I wasn't noticing it so it has dried and darkened with age.

                    Never thought of the dried pine tar ! It's definitely on the helmet in 92 ! You guys freak me out! Awesome observations,whether I'm right or wrong😄
