Lot of Autographed Football Helmets & Other Items

Iconic Sports Memorabilia: A Collection of Signed Helmets and More

A Tribute to Football Legends

In the realm of football memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the sport’s rich history like signed helmets. Among the treasures in our latest auction is a Riddell size 7-1/4 Cleveland Browns helmet, a testament to the legacy of two football greats. This helmet is adorned with the signature of the legendary Otto Graham, who has inscribed it with “H.O.F. 1965,” a nod to his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The signature, graded a 9, is a pristine representation of Graham’s storied career.

Accompanying Graham’s autograph is the signature of Vince Costello, a stalwart of the Browns from 1957 to 1968. Costello’s inscription, “To Jim, Great Food, Great Fun & a lot of BS, Best Wishes Always, Vince Costello 50,” adds a personal touch to this remarkable piece. His signature, graded a 5, reflects the camaraderie and spirit of the game.

Rams and Jaguars: Unique Helmets with a Story

Another highlight is a Riddell St. Louis Rams helmet, signed in silver ink by over 30 players, including notable names like Rick Tuten, Nate Hobgood-Chittick, and Tom Nutten. The signatures, ranging from grades 6 to 8, capture the essence of a team that has left an indelible mark on the NFL.

Adding to the collection is a Riddell Jacksonville Jaguars prototype helmet. This helmet is a piece of history, representing the original logo that was later changed due to its similarity to the Jaguar automobile trademark. The helmet is in excellent condition, with some wear that tells the story of its journey through time.

Celebrating Super Bowl IV and the Kansas City Kings

The collection also features a Super Bowl IV 20th Anniversary ticket, signed by Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Famers Len Dawson and Hank Stram. The signatures, graded a 7, are a tribute to the Chiefs’ victory in one of the most memorable games in NFL history.

For basketball enthusiasts, a Kansas City Kings logo basketball signed by 12 players from the early 1980s, including Ernie Grunfeld, Reggie King, and Joe Meriweather, is a must-have. The ball, in excellent condition, features signatures graded from 4 to 5, capturing a bygone era of basketball excellence.
