Hi Marcus,

Judging from some of the photos you've posted already, the Seahawks and Raiders helmets look like they may be real game used helmets. It's hard to tell unless there are photos to study. But from my experience, there are some things to look for to determine if a helmet is game used. It is always helpful to check the inside of the helmet and look for player ID numbers or dymo tape with player names and numbers. Some of the 80s era helmets have distinct date codes on the inside upper part of the helmet, usually a round imprint that has a month and year date code. And sometimes the inside has reconditioning stickers and warning stickers that show the date. Also, look for game wear on the outside of the helmets. If there are gashes and evidence of helmet-to-helmet contact on the outside (particularly the forehead area), this suggests game wear/use. Also check the Getty Images website and look for photos of NFL teams, and this can help you get a sense of what the players have worn each season, and you can compare that way too.

I know quite a bit about Vikings helmets (that's why I am Vikingshelmetguty!), and I think I could help you to figure out the Vikings helmet. I would need to see a photo of the helmet to figure out if it is the real deal or not... Let me know if you want my e-mail, or you can post a photo here on GUU.

Is that mcmillan helmet for sale? I have a rookie era game used jersey that would go great with it. Also I know him and his father who played for the cards back in the 60's thru 70's. Please lmk as that would be cool if we could work a deal for it.

I could not resist digging into my savings to get another game used 2009 Vikings helmet from JO Sports. Here are some photos of my new Drew Radovich Minnesota Vikings helmet that I just purchased from JO Sports. It is the first Riddell Revolution helmet in my collection. This helmet surprised me by how big and heavy it is. It is a very substantial and impressive helmet. I am thrilled to own it! I must compliment JO Sports. My purchase from JO Sports was fast, easy and pleasant. They shipped the helmet immediately. And the helmet comes with a nice packet of materials and certificates of authenticity. JO Sports was professional and first-class in every way.

I guess I went a little overboard with my compliments to JO Sports....
