Nothing like owning a piece of history with an authentic game used helmet. While I am still searching for my first one, I thought it would be interesting to see other forum members collections and pieces. I know RKGibson has some great ones as well as others here. thanks.

Could someone please help me photomatch my Sheffield helmet?


Do you know what year the Sheffield helmet was worn in? It should say that on the Steiner LOA. Mine was pretty easy to match to a Getty image, after searching photos from late in the 2004 season.

Your helmet, like mine, looks like it has a ton of scuffs on the shell. That should help significantly. The rear number on my helmet is a little scuffed too, which made the photomatch simple. The Damon helmet that another forum posted is matched well too. I'm sure the mark on the front logo helped that collector out.

Markings and scuffs to the logo and numbers make photomatches easier, especially with low res pics. However, with all the shell scuffs, I would imagine photomatching your wouldn't be too hard, provided you know the year it was worn in.

Just got this 2007 World Series David Ortiz Helmet. Saw it in MLB auctions and went through each at bat of the series to verify this is the helmet he wore for all 4 games.


It was a new helmet in Game 1 so I guess the one from the ALDS and ALCS is out there somewhere.
I found what I think are pretty good photomatches in each game.
Here are the ones from games 1 and 3. What do you guys think?

Gameused,


Excuse the newbie question....but do you work for Steiner or MLB.com? I only ask because it appears the exact (identical) Jacoby helmet you have is currently up for auction on MLB.com auctions via Steiner. The marks on the bill and the marks above the flag on the back matc up perfectly.


http://auction.mlb.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=101974506&prmenbr=33072944&aunbr=102321216



Just a nore for the nay sayers....I am not making any hidden accusations. I am simply wondering how this can be possible and if Gameused is aware of this. Perhaps MLB used the same pics for multiple auctions, but I find hat unlikely.


Anyway, any help clearing up my confusion would be great.

Thanks

Mr.3000,

Not affiliated with either. Steiner had only one GU batting helmet of Jacoby from the 2008 season that I know of.

I seen that Jacoby helmet on MLB.com weeks ago and it was also available thru the Steiner website, I guess Steiner Sports did not inform MLB auctions that the Jacoby helmet has already been sold.

Thanks, Bobby

Bobby,

I thought it might have been something like that. Perhaps you could contact them and inform them that you own the helmet they have advertised in the auction.

For an opening bid of $1,000 I would hate to see someone win it, then go through the hassle of finding out they won't be getting it, have to wait for a refund...etc and so on.

Thanks for clearing that up.

The date code is 071706. The only thing wrong with it is the Steiner letter says unknown year. So they did not connect it to Cano but Tfig did good research and determind it was mostly used by Cano.

It came with an LOA signed by Griffey. He sold off a lot of his equipment back in the 90's, including most of his All Star Game equipment. When I first got the helmet, it also came with the original advertisment from some magazine that was selling all his stuff, with this exact helmet pictured, and a pricetag of $1500 I believe. I wasn't able to perfectly photomatch it, but I did style-match the alignment of the numbers on the back of the helmet to game footage

Man - you gotta loan your bro to me! :D I could use some Bagwell stuff. :p I gave my brother $162 batting gloves for his b-day, yet he only gave me $45 for my b-day. Oh, well. What does your brother do for a living?

My brother runs his own business for personalized childrens books (random, yet effective when it comes to making money).

I buy him good stuff too though. He collects autographs, graded cards, & coins, so this past Christmas I got him a Willie Mays signed 16x20 photo, and last year I got him an Andruw Jones/Chipper Jones signed 11x14 photo. I don't think I could ever get him something though that would beat the Griffey helmet!

2007 Lastings Milledge Mets helmet - pic from 9/29/07

Helmet and jersey are both MLB hologrammed to 9/30/07 (Milledge's last day as a Met)

The day before, 9/29/07 Milledge had the first 2 HR game of his career. Looks like the batboys tried to wipe the scuff clean for the final day but it can still be seen. I did find another mark on the front that matched but the pic would display correctly.

The only thing on the rear is the MLB sticker and the name sticker "Edge" (Milledge's nickname). There's nothing that would give a good photomatch.

Heres one you don't see every day. I just picked up Hines Wards high school helmet. It was last used in the Georgia/Florida highschool all star game before he went to U of Georgia. It is signed but it is kinda light. It is still a cool piece to have of a future HOFer.

Attached are scans of the Rhein Fire NFL Europa helmet worn by Peter Heyer The helmet is a Riddell VSR4 and the sticker on the back says the shell is a size X-Large and believe me, it’s all that and more - it's a monster.

Inside the helmet, there are 3 recertification stickers and one on the outside that says 2002. Above the right ear-hole there is a dyno strip that has the number “7” while on the left ear-hole, there is a number “9”. Below the ear-hole, there is a hand-written #74 which was worn by Peter Heyer.

I looked up Peter Heyer and he played for the Rhein Fire from 2002-2006. The Rhein Fire played in the World Bowl in 2002 and 2003. Since the helmet has been re-certified in 2002, could he have worn this helmet in the World Bowl? I don’t know and I certainly wouldn’t say that he did but the re-certification sticker does date the helmet to that period.

Kevin Youkilis batting helmet photo matched to the 2007 ALCS and World Series. Would love to have Manny's batting helmet but he keeps it every year.
