Need help with identifying a promo smurf...

I saw the following "promo" (?) smurf and wonder what he is advertising for with his "P" or why he has a hole in his head...

Does anybody here has an idea..? :-? :D

Are you sure it's real and not painted by someone?
Since it's a baseball player, maybe it has something to do with the Pittsburgh Pirates or the Philadelphia Phillies but their logos are sligthly different.
I really hope there exists a smurf promoting the Cincinnati Reds!

I don't know if it is painted, I also only have the picture, but could maybe buy it (not soo cheap)...
I don't really know anything about baseball, so any guesses are welcome, thank you, Paolo. :D

But, as you said, those two teams have a slightly different "P"...

I think someone painted that "P" in green...All promos with letters have them in the middle of their head :-? :-?

I have never seen one like this either. Simon, does the seller have any information about it if they are selling it at an expensive price? :sherlock:

No, I asked the seller if he knows anything about the smurf, but he said he does not...But he said that he already has an offer for 20 Euro... :???:

I still wonder about the hole in the hat... :eek:

Hi Simon

I have never seen any promo that looks like this, therefore, I would not pay a lot of money for it full stop and wouldn't bother even for 1 euro. That's just my opinion, and the only thing I truly know is that I don't know everything. :-? ...not even close.

I personally don't think that hole belongs there or was ever intented to be in this smurf's head :shock:

To me it looks like the hole was made by someone, too sloppy to be made by the company, Most smurfs that have a hole are neatly done , on this if you look closly you can still see the shavings on the side. I would not go for it, sounds fishy!
