Every guy who has one says that.

And then they each tell their particular Cece Carlucci story.

What a legend.

To each his own, I guess!

So YOU were the lone bidder. Congrats. You got a very good, very hard-to-find CP at about $40 off.

I left that one alone. I was going to recommend it to another umpire who has concerns over how short the Gold is. I did like that original Gold one the guy was selling, but his reserve was too high. You can get a new Gold for $135 now. So used ones are barely worth more than $100.

I do still love that Douglas I picked up on ebay a while back for a price so low I don't even want to reveal it. I work it into the rotation every now and then, and it is a comfortable, low-profile hard shell. Yours will offer more coverage, however. A good friend has one, and he loves it.
