Vaughn T5500 Catcher Pics?

Hey guys i am about to be in the market for a new catch glove and as far as i have read the T5500 would be the way to go. but rather than search through a million threads to see some actual pics i was wondering if you guys could post some in this thread for me to see.

thanks alot..

Here is a pic of the T-5500. Im not sure if you can still order other colors or not. The Epic is the New 5500 though. I have one and love it.

I'm aware that the epic is the new 5500 but i was reffering to like the GM 5500 with the v3 graphics or if someone had the older one.

btw i've already seen the pics from the websites i was hoping for some genuine pics..

thanks.

Here is my new T5500 with V3 graphics.....used it once, and I will tell you that it is incredibly balanced and has nice closure...felt really good for a first try.

Here is my 5500 Dan Ellis glove he returned a couple years back when he played for the Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL). Click them for full size.

Difference

So, what are the exact differences between the T5500 and the Epic 8800? I know the Epic is the "2008 T5500", but need to know more. Thanks!

I think they took a T5500 and wrote "epic" on it.

Absolutely my favorite Catcher of all time. NOTHING wrong with it. T-5500 with 7500 graphics from GM:

I hate it when gloves have eyelets on the part that always makes contact with the ice.

I read somewhere that the Epic has a slightly longer T, which allows the glove to open a bit more.. Otherwise, it's the same glove.
