Show me your Game Used NFL Helmet

[princip]

you are spot on about the low positioning of the side decals - something the seahawks abandoned pretty quickly. speaking of largent - he must hold the nfl all-time record for most facemask styles used in a career! honestly, what was up with that? is there even a close second?

This is how I know it, Steve Largent Facemask Timeline:

1976-78 Dungard DG 210


1979-80 Riddell OPO 1

1983-84(roughly) Royal Blue 80 XL OPO


1984-89 Royal Blue Riddell BD-9

what's the date code in the helmet?

I should have known you'd be "date coding" me. I will look when I get back there tonight and post it. Here is a photo that I found on Getty...

Good call Robert! This is the one he used just before he switched to the BD-9. Notice the three fastener holes on the side.

Princip,

I would like to have the Shaun Alexander helmet if you ever want to part with it, sell or trade, please keep me in mind.

Attached are pictures of my Buffalo Bill's, Takeo Spikes from 2006 vs the Patriots. Also Micheal Vick's helmet worn every game in his last year, 2006.

Roger, Can I buy the Vick and give it to my Staffordshire Bull Terrier as a chew toy? Even better if his head is inside...

Roger:

I was interested in asking a question on the Vick helmet that you have. Obviously the value of his items have gone down a bit - but did you buy or obtain the helmet prior to his legal troubles, or after?

I wish you had sold it to me. I was the guy who asked if you had any pics long after the auction ended. Of course, you obliged and for that I was very thankful.

I bought it after he got in trouble but before his trial. This helmet was requested during the season by the HOF as he set a couple of quarterback records that season. He rushed for 1039 yards with 8.45 yards per carry. I have a letter from Vick about the helmet. Every piece on it is original, including the chin strap.

I was never a fan of his, and am not now. I do think the helmet is a unique piece in my collection, regardless of the value to others now.
