This collection offers a treasure trove of autographs, and often inscriptions, from some of football's greatest immortals. 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. The details are wonderful, even including interior padding. Some of the helmets are slightly larger, measuring about 5" in height and approx. 6" in length. Each helmet has a PSA/DNA COA inside for the signature. 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. Generally, the signatures are bold, and the autographs most often are 7 or 8/10. Any sports collection will generate great interest with the addition of such a power-packed, vividly detailed and nostalgia-infused offering.
