I have recently bought both new JT ProFlex & ProShield masks from my local store. I'm very happy with the quality of both of them and there lenses. The newest run of ProFlex's have very soft bottoms which I've got a couple of bounces off of. If you are looking to buy online Paintball Wizard (my preferred online store) has both of them in stock currently.

But if you buy them new they're not bad. Proshields go for ~$50 and Proflexes for, what, $80-90? A Proshield is a solid newbie mask.

Oh yeah, for sure. I use one of the older ones for my primary mask. Thin frames, rubber visor, JTJTJTJTJTJT foam in a Spyder package for $85 off eBay. Just had to get a new lens and strap. Sold off the other stuff after a while and made most of it back.
Got another one like that, but slightly newer with a blue lower and the stiffer foam. Still need a lens for that one.

I now have a stable of 3 that I rotate through: My original 1998 black Spectra that now has green ears, an all black old-style Proshield of more recent vintage (has chin strap); and a 20 year old OD green Spectra I got recently got NIB from another MCB member. All but the middle one have thin frames and all have the rubber visor.

What's the deal with these masks? I have some old JT masks (a bunch of them). Why are they so valuable, they don't seem much different then the newer proflex's I have.

Some of them can be valuable the older JT Products are much better quality. However I do hear promising reviews on the latest product release (like very recent). But anything within like the past 4-5 years has been lower quality. Certain colors and straps and designs can be collectible and valuable.

The high price for some older JT spectra and flex masks is less about the quality and more about the coolness / swag or whatever of having now rarer parts.
the new pro flexโs are great.
Clear stuff is high value. Clear and olive lowers are very high value. Any ize stuff (clear again)
the newer production clear stuff is also valuable.
black and olive old stuff less valuable because itโs less rare.
Good or new condition lenses that are no longer produced are valuable.
(old mirror colors, amber and pink)
new condition clear and smoke lenses old style ARE more valuable because of the higher quality but not a lot more valuable than a new retail lens.
any of the off beat colors from more recent runs and especially from Huntington Beach special runs are valuable.
the newest pro flex has a different design itโs kinda flattened. I think theyโre great.
any of the โleโ colors do tend to go up in price so colors that people didnโt care about in 2018 and you could buy retail for a complete mask for 100 bucks are now 100 bucks for a lower part of mask.
itโs just a silly Facebook thing I sell my expensive parts and wear a black one or olive because I donโt like to make my head easier to see and I donโt want 200 dollar old worn out falling apart rubber on my face

Book face is ware you want to liquidate. eBay will fetch premium but the fees destroy that up charge. Unfortunately you want top dollar BookFace is the place. Do the research tho the โwhatโs it worthโ posts are designed to rase or lower market value based on if the appraiser is buying or selling.
