So I believe it was either 1978 or 1979 where after a collision at home plate Parker experienced fractures in his face due to the collision. He began using several different types of protective masks to protect his already injured face and the look is absolutletly menancing. I was wondering if there was an official trading card from around this time that features Parker with one of these masks on?
Here's a photograph from that time period as a reference

If you want one as much as I'm sure Parker didn't want that mask, you can snatch one for the low low bargain of 59.99 on eBay. WOW!

For reference, retail on those Project 70 cards was $20 (or cheaper in bulk) if you are unfamiliar with them.

Might make for an interesting User List. Face masks used in "non-face mask" sports; such as Baseball and Basketball face mask cards.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Also makes me wonder if Kevin Pillar had any of those cards too.

My eBay store.- Be sure to check it out! FOR SALE/TRADE: View my profile for details! If there's a certain player you want, ask me about them, I'll probably have a card of their's that I'm willing to trade but haven't marked on my FS/T list. For more specific info, visit profile or message me. |

I've never seen Dave Parker in that mask. I remember when Doug Decinces on the Orioles broke his jaw he had to wear a facemask on his batting helmet for a couple years.

He only wore it one game then changed to a football style mask.
