A recent thread asked the question why wasn't the Hall of Fame contacted regarding item "A" in question...they can be a great sort of reference.
Although this may be true, has anyone ever questioned the authenticity of an item at one of the Hall of Fames?
I went to the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year and took pictures of many items… afterwards I thought that maybe some of the items were not likely "game used" (my opinion).
Here are my thoughts and by no means am I an expert, but I would love to have “Aeneas01” chime in as he is the helmet expert…
Bradshaw Max Pro Helmet - wrong facemask, # font, warning sticker, “Max Pro” front bumper, no Max Pro or kineomatic 21 inside decals on the rear of the helmet…
Staubach Max Pro Helmet- I never saw Staubach wear a helmet with the “Max Pro” front bumper???
I hate to be cynical, but I could see the Hall of Fame (any sport) contacting one of the teams and asking for a players specific item…the team in turn tells the equipment manager to send the item and replica of that item is sent…does that sound crazy?
Has anyone else seen items at one of the Hall of Fames that they thought didn’t “look right”?
