Re: Reggie White Super Bowl Jersey
Hey Jay - All good points, and I certainly appreciate your position and concerns. I'm not advocating the helmet, rather just simply stating that I would feel comfortable with it. In full disclosure, I have no intention of pursuing it. Any potential buyer must conduct their own due diligence and establish their own comfort level. There is always risk.
I'll offer my take on your comments below, and break it up over a couple posts.
[QUOTE]Short stripes like that NEVER appear in any 1995 game photos or in the 1996 Pro Bowl...[QUOTE]
Agree. However, these could have been trimmed or manicured anytime after the fact by White (or anyone in possession of it). These are taped on. The tape may have peeled at a certain point or receded as a result of storage (humidity, etc.). The Craig and Green helmets also have receding or shortened stripes. It appears that the adhesive residue is still present on the left side of the picture included below, which would lead me to conclude that these were longer while in use.

Re: Reggie White Super Bowl Jersey
Surely someone has a video from this game to get a look at the rear of the helmet. Anyways, here is what I see....
1- The bottom rivet appears to line up with the lions decal rear paw. No issue there.
2- The chinstrap appears to have the same buckle location on strap. No issue.
3- But, what appears to be the upper rivet (next to the tail)is higher in the game photo when compared to the auction helmet.
4- Not the best pic to use, but there looks like other scuffs on the lion and rear of helmet that are not on the auction helmet.
Please take this for what it is... another opinion. Good luck to anyone bidding.Always looking for Georgia Bulldogs game used.

Re: Reggie White Super Bowl Jersey
Amazing... I thought this helmet was going to sneak through the cracks...I guess I'll show you guys the nail in the coffin so you can see that this was Barry's helmet. Although the only problem is that I'm pretty sure this was a backup helmet, with the only evidence of game use being in the 1996 Pro Bowl. Although I still hope visual contacts stays out of the bidding!

Re: Reggie White Super Bowl Jersey
During the 1994 Pro Bowl , as well as through 2000's. I've noticed some players having more than one game helmet from their team with them. This trend seem to have started after 3 of the Dallas Cowboys got their helmets stolen from their lockers. I've also noticed players have traded helmets before the Pro Bowl game. Then on game day the same 2 players would be wearing their own team helmet. So it seems that the back up issue for the helmet, has turned into just more to trade with other players.
So my thought on Barry's lid is he could have had more than one during Pro Bowl week.

Re: Reggie White Super Bowl Jersey
I would like to apologize to the forum for any inaccurate information/ opinion that I may have posted earlier about this Barry Sanders helmet...
This thread and the real/ fake theories really got me interested over the past few days and truly inspired me to dig even deeper to come to a conclusion that is true fact and not just possibility.
After several hours of research, hi-res photos, and game film, I can 100% say (IN MY OPINION) that THIS IS the helmet that Barry Sanders wore in the 1996 Pro Bowl game... Here is the proof and the PHOTOMATCHES!!!!
THIS HAS TOO BE THE MOST AMAZING GAME WORN ITEM THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN ALL MY YEARS OF COLLECTING!!! ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING...
Good Luck to all and P.S.... VISUALCONCEPTSNJ is back in the bidding!!!
