Presented is a great opportunity for fans of college and pro football: A compelling collection of 24 signed, beautifully colorful and detailed Riddell football mini helmets, with Hall of Famers and stars from the late 1940s through the early 2000s. (In the following description, listed first in quotes is the player's signature, followed by any inscription, and then listed after the quotation marks is the college or pro team represented by the mini helmet): "Johnny Unitas" Baltimore Colts; "George Blanda, H.O.F. 81" Chicago Bears; "Rocky Bleier, #28" Notre Dame; "Ray Nitschke, H.O.F. 1978" Green Bay Packers; "Bubba Smith '78'" Baltimore Colts; "Antwaan Randle El, 82" Illinois; "Danny Wuerffel, 7" Florida; "Jamal Lewis, 31" Tennessee; "Steve Owen, '69 Heisman'" Oklahoma; "Ronnie Brown, 13-6" Auburn University; "Shannon Sharpe, 84" Denver Broncos; "Jeff George, 11" Illinois; "L.J.

The helmets are in EXCELLENT condition. Most of the mini helmets are approx. 4.5" high and approx. 5.5" from the back of the helmets to the front of the face bars. Some of the helmets are slightly larger, measuring about 5" in height and approx. 6" in length. The details are wonderful, even including interior padding and chin straps.  Each helmet has a PSA Cert. Sticker for the signature, affixed to the back of the helmet. Many of the helmets also come with a PSA/DNA COA. Some helmets are placed on an approx. 5x7" light plastic display stand. The signatures and inscriptions are generally done with a black, fine tip marker, but while a marker is most often used, the color may vary from black and include gold, silver, blue, green, etc. Generally, the signatures are bold, and the autographs most often are 7 or 8/10. The collection is packed with autographs of Hall of Famers and stars. Any sports collection will generate great acclaim with the addition of such a vividly detailed and nostalgia-inspiring offering.
