That is just beautiful. I just got my first batting helmet - a Yuniesky Betancourt at Mariners FanFest last January. Enjoy your collectible!

Thanks all. I am so happy with this thing I just had to show it off Now I want MORE!!

Andrew, Im not sure how Sori left that thing behind, but he could have cashed in on it had he chosen to sell it.

What did you have to shell out Marky?

Mark,

Congrat's on a nice pick-up! You should be able to photo match your Soriano helmet easily as as most players normally use one batting helmet for the entire season.

RK,

Hard to pin a dollar figure on it. I got a package deal- blue alternate jersey, home hat, belt, and the helmet. I guess if I broke it down the helmet would have been around $400.

Bobby,

Even with the limited time I have, the helmet should be an easy photomatch with all that tar. Now if I could figure out how to correctly post the photomatch pictures

That's awesome, Mark. The Betancourt helmet I picked up wasn't nearly as neat.

frik,

Hey, a helmets a helmet. To me they seem hard to come by, especially for the player I collect (obviously soriano). Does Betancourt use lots of tar?
