There is a Sapp helmet on Vintage Authentics that ends tonight. The helmet was originally scarlett, and was painted Tampa Bay Pewter. Is there a photo of Sapp with such a helmet? I did a search of many photos, and Sapp was always taking his helmet off on the field prior to the rule change. I find many photos from all years of Sapp with his helmet off where one can see the inside. I can not find any of him with a helmet with a red interior, nor can I come up with a reason why his helmet, in this modern era, would have been originally red. They show a "photo match" on the auction listing, but it is the outside of the helmet. I could throw a Sapp helmet together in about an hour or less that would be a match to their photo. Lampson grades the helmet at 8.5.
Talk to me with your theories... or better yet, show me the proof.
