Yes, you probably would expect more money than you paid for your Carlucci gear, since it is no longer available unfortunately. The Mizuno mask is still readily available in Japan and Korea. You can get them from anyone who lives over there. They are already overpriced to start with. Again, the guy has every right to get all he can from the sale of his mask. That doesn't make it right. It's not a piece of art, it's umpire gear.
