There are lots of good markings on the outside of the helmet. Hopefully you can photomatch!!!Comment

the date code would be interesting to know.
anyway, in 1994 many MLB teams wore a gold MLB 125 Anniversary sticker on the back of their helmets. (it was a copy of the patch they wore on their jerseys). here's a pic of griffey showing the sticker:
is it possible that the sticker was removed for re-use the following year? sure. i don't know much about helmets but i do know that personally i like to match up the exact stickers in the exact order they appear, and the number fonts. i've seen different orders in the same year but i still like to look for the same order. eg: if the stickers go uniform number/mlb logo/ABC logo or mlb logo/uniform number/ABC logo. i've noticed orders change from year to year. sometimes they put the numbers on top of the mlb logo/abc logo. sometimes to the left or the right. i think the order sometimes helps date a helmet. anyway, i noticed the ebay helmet has the single mlb/abc sticker (as opposed to those 2 logos being 2 separate stickers as they were in previous years). i know the single sticker was used around the 1994 time frame. not sure when exactly it stopped being used.

I'm always blown away when I see something that's obviously going to sell for at least moderately big bucks, listed with a starting bid of - in this case - $14.99, or something ridiculous like that. Yeah, I know, they're just trying to save on listing fees...but what would happen if all the ARod fans, waiting in the weeds to snipe, suddenly experienced a power failure, or slept through their alarms, or - and I know this is really far out - had a chance to get laid, and didn't get to bid...and somebody bought this helmet for 35 bucks and change?Jeff

As an ARod fan, do you think - honestly - that the recent news about his steroid use will affect what this helmet sells for, this time?Jeff

Seller stated: The arrow is pointing at 5 and in the middle it says 93. Thanks!
Now, doesn't this mean 1993? So this could easily be a 1993 helmet that Arod never used, correct?

Tony,
Do you think it could have been a carry over or something. Also is the autograph legit. Because i was wondering maybe someone switched helmets.Comment

Funny, this is the third Arod rookie batting helmet I have seen for sale. They are all the same colors, but they are not the same helmets. How many rookie helmets are out there?
One sold in Lelands auction.
