A little while back, I saw this auction for a Buccaneers Maxpro clearshell helmet. (http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-1976-TAMPA-BAY-BUCCANEERS-FOOTBALL-HELMET_W0QQitemZ260318269123QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVin tage_Sports_Memorabilia?hash=item260318269123&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A13%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318)

Now, just wondering if anyone here picked it up? Also, would you guess this to be a salesman sample? There looks to be some inconsistencies; i.e. the decal's are reversed. Still a very rare find and nice pickup.

The Buds' original facemasks were more of a peach color than a true orange.

Good looking helmet but the Bucs had three stripes in '76.

Good looking helmet but the Bucs had three stripes in '76.

From what I've heard, sometimes for a clear shell, they'll put the center stripe on the inside shell and the two outer stripes on the outside of the shell. My guess, is this is a Maxpro salesman sample helmet?
