As noted, the seller can't expect this to bring huge $$$, considering all of the padding has been removed and the size sticker is scraped out of the interior. I'd be extremely shocked if it sells for over a few hundred dollars.

guDon-appears the sellers comparison to the $4,000 Pujols helmet is just a little bit off base!

Howard, it appears you may be a little out of touch with the current Ryan Howard game used helmet market. The helmet sold for $2195.55 after shipping and the seller has already left the buyer feedback with a note that the buyer has already paid. If you look at the buyers feedback for past transactions, it appears he collects game used items with "game used" or "gamer" inscriptions.

Thankfully for the seller, your comments above about the helmet and the sellers price were pretty far from what actually occured once the bidding started. It appears this Howard helmet was almost as valuable to someone as your Mike Schmidt helmet was.

howard, if you come across any Ryan Howard game worn helmets you want to sell for what you value at "a few hundred dollars," I will pay that all day. Find me as many as you can. Being the Phillies expert, surely you must know where some more are for sale in the "few hundred dollar" range.
