Looks like an old basic Wilson Charcoal protector. A new one costs between $90 - $105. If the one on eBay sells for $50 or more, it only provides (once again) that P.T. Barnum was correct.

You're right, it is one of the "MLU" or "Charcoal" protectors. You can get them for as low as $80 on some websites.

He's selling an equally old MLU West Vest mask, in Royal Blue naturally, and the bidding is at 99¢ last time I checked. Good deal if the bidding doesn't go up!

This is off-topic, but while we were talking about CPs.....

I got my Gold yesterday in the M/L size. Wow...the fit is a lot better with the Gold than the Platinum for a skinny guy like me. I cinched it up and it won't move at all when I wear it around. I did like that the Platinum is a little longer and covered my ribs a little more, but I can deal with the tradeoff. The Platinum is a great protector though, just didn't fit me all that well.
