1996 Yomiuri Giants | Shane Mack Game Used Batting Helmet | Shane Mack Collection
c.1995-96 Shane Mack game used Yomiuri Giants helmet.
This piece shows excellent, multi-game use and features a cool embroidered YG emblem on the front. The brim on the inside has appropriate markings for the period including a silver and blue Rawlings tag, PL-1, Size L with Japanese text. Additionally, we find what looks to be a serial number as well, a red and silver sticker with JFAB stamped on it.
Overall, this is one of the best pieces in the Mack collection. Pieces from Japanese baseball just do not come up for sale often.
