Photomatch?
I believe I may have photomatched my Eli Marrero 2006 game worn helmet to a spring training game on March 26,2006 but I'd like to get a few opinions first. I found a few things that match up:
- The number "16" is placed about a centimeter more to the right
- The "6" in "16" appears to be placed on just a tiny tiny bit higher than the "1"
- There is a tiny white mark on the MLB logo which is just below the arm of the guy in the logo (I circled the mark I am talking about in the second & third pic) which I can see in the photo of Marrero when zoomed in.
- It appears that the "1" in "16" was made wrong and there is more white border on the right side than on the left
Helmet in the picture:

Re: Photomatch?
NOT a photo-match & it's pretty easy to spot. Look at the factory "split" below the 16 where the ear-flap & other bottom part of helmet are joined. Unless it's me, the "split" on the pictured helmet is beneath the 6. The "split" the helmet in your collection is directly to the right of the 1 & splits the "Killebrew" logo right in the middle of his helmet. The Killebrew logo is split at his bat in the pictured one. Does this make sense?

Re: Photomatch?
It's not a match because of the number 6. In the photo the top right portion of the 6 is at a 2 o'clock to 7o'clock( angle). Your helmet's number 6 top portion is at a 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock (flat across).

I get what you mean but I don't think that's possible. I don't think that they would have different angled number's for their helmets. Plus, here is a 2006 Kaz Matsui helmet from the AM auction and it's the same number as Marrero's (he wore 16 after Marrero was traded) and the 6 is the same angle as mine.

Re: Photomatch?
not the same helmet, sorry to say. in relation to the mold seam, the numbers and logo are in different locations. your helmet has the seam in the middle of where the numbers were placed. the logo is almost centered with the seam.
now look at the marrero helmet and look at the seam. they don't match.
