Looking for some catching gear for my boy's team that is in better shape than what we have right now. Tempted to go buy a new select set from Marucci with the velcro attachment for the leg guards, but I thought I might check here first to see if anyone is looking to offload some. Let me know what you have!

I have catcher's mitts for ages 8-15 or maybe even high school. They may need minor work. I'm in the middle of a restoration on an early '80's A2000XL so it might take a few days to get one ready. PM me your number and I can text pics, etc.
Pass the gravy.

I'm in Celina. Shoot me pics (or I can message you my cell if that's easier) if you don't mind

I bought my 12 year old son new catcher's gear this past Fall. His old gear was handed down from his older brother, so it was time to go. I got him the Rawlings Velo 2.0 Intermediate Catcher's Set. It's a major upgrade from his old Adidas gear. It's about $100 less buying it on Amazon than other reputable retailera. I don't know your son's age, but at $230, I'm not sure you can find better gear for the price. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ch_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

Also, if you are looking for a new glove, I bought this one about 18 months ago. I bought it from Dick's and had them to do the initial steam break-in at the store. That didn't do much, but we kept on oiling/wrapping it and with enough use, it's now broken in pretty good. Definitely would not use it in a game until it's really broken in. My son likes it, it's got pretty good lacing and padding. I bought him the EvoShield Catcher's Thumb Guard for added protection, as well. Glove

I've been leaning toward the Marucci because of the velcro leg guards versus the hook/d rings. I know the velcro won't last a lot of seasons, but it's a whole lot easier for 8/9 year olds to rip it off if you wind up batting that inning.
