As an enthusiast of vintage football memorabilia I was really excited to see the “Executioner” style helmet that hit eBay a couple days ago. I have never seen one of these Hannibal Lector-like beauties at the auction block before, so I am pumped to see what it sells for. My guess would be $5,000-7,000.

Also, by commenting on that helmet, it gives me the chance to post this interesting photo of hobby-mogul Bill Mastro and a mystery man who is wearing one of these helmets… Who is the masked man? I encourage readers to make their guesses in my blog’s comment field. I am assuming I will get some interesting responses.


I guess I was right on the money in my blog entry last night, when I guessed the final price for American Memorabilia’s Jackie Robinson single-signed baseball. That minty-white sphere sold for just a tad over my prediction of 25K (after the juice).
AMI’s 1977 Reggie Jackson Yankees jersey had Game Used Forum participants Dave O’Brien and Eric Stangel talking late last night. The Jackson closed at an impressive $22,396 (after the juice).

Universal Rarities’ auction ends tonight. Notably, the Anna Nicole driver’s license is still at $2,500. I was hoping it would catch up to the price on its Babe Ruth game-used bat. Stay tuned.
