An Iconic Artifact from the 2012 Postseason

Step into the world of baseball history with this remarkable piece of sports memorabilia: Garcia’s game-used batting helmet from the 2012 American League Division Series (ALDS). This helmet is not just a piece of equipment; it is a testament to the thrilling moments and the intense competition that define Major League Baseball’s postseason.

Distinctive Features and Authenticity

The helmet is adorned with several distinctive features that speak to its authenticity and significance. Inside the shell, a “Rawlings” size “7 ¾” manufacturer’s tag is prominently displayed, accompanied by an MLB Authentic hologram sticker “AD055409791” and a Rawlings logo sticker. The front of the helmet proudly bears the team’s “D” logo decal in vibrant orange, while the back features a player number “34” decal, with a “2012 POSTSEASON” decal positioned below. Adjacent to these is another MLB hologram sticker “350429EK”.

Garcia has personally signed the batting helmet above the player number in silver pen, adding the inscription, “GAME USED ALDS.” This signature, in our opinion, rates a 7 overall, further enhancing the helmet’s allure and value.
