A Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award winner in 2007, catcher Russell Martin is a four-time All-Star, appearing for five different MLB clubs during his career. From his time in Ontario, we have a batting helmet worn with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015, photo-matched to single games during the regular and postseason. A Rawlings S100 model with labels to the interior, there is a Blue Jays decal over the front, with “55” to the reverse along with a “2015 Postseason” MLB sticker. The helmet shows good use, with numerous marks, scratches and abrasions to the surface along with a few repaired cracks, with some residue to the brim. Getty Image #87348713 has been matched to multiple scuff marks and cracking visible on the top left side of the helmet, while Getty Image #491877772 (Game 1 of the ALDS vs Texas) has been matched to to multiple scuffs and pine tar on the helmet. An MLB hologram is affixed to the lower reverse, and we should also note that the verification states game-issued, but this is incorrect, as the helmet was game-worn and photo-matched.
