So, you can tell I got some new stuff. I purchase a collection and I'm just now going through the items.

I believe this is a game used Jeter helmet, but I need your opinions to sway me one way or another.

Obviously with the wear, it looks legit. What gets me is that it has a general MLB sticker - which just means it's authentic, but does it mean it's an authentic helmet? Or an authentic game used helment? I feel so conflicted. image

The guy I bought the collection from owned his own sports collectible store and was from NY.

    Maybe, but I'd be skeptical. Two reasons; the MLB sticker on the back appears to be over another sticker removed at one point, I have never seen that in other helmets. Also, I know from 2007-2014 he wore a size 7 1/4. This is a size 7. This would be an older helmet (possibly 1990's), but I can't imagine his helmet size changing too much.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Most game used helmets dont have bar-codes on them

    They usually use the same style font for the number 2 on the front and back.

    I'm pretty well versed in game used. I'd move on.

    The ear flap is on the wrong side for it to be Jeter's helmet, is it not?

    Also, that's an NY *jersey* logo. The jersey, hat, and helmet NY logos are all different.

    It would be easier and save time to say what is correct on this helmet. Which is...not a lot. Unfortunately.

    So many obvious incorrect signs. Hope you didn't pay much overall.

    You guys are awesome. Of all the little things, the ear flap is the biggest giveaway. This was never claimed to be anything special by the seller, I just was quickly rummaging through the lot and taking pictures and got excited because it was worn. Just for fun, I'll take some pictures of other things I got in the collection and will post for your viewing pleasure.

    Thanks again
