surprised that this didn't generate any discussion but wow this went for $50K! I wonder if Harrison himself or maybe even the Steelers bought it?

Re: James Harrison SB XLIII helmet
Alot of people don't check HA I don't think thats probably why. If Harrison gave it away why buy it? Steelers stuff goes for huge money. Common player jerseys go for 5k on NFL auctions so price isn't that insane. A regular season random game big ben jersey went for over 20k in hunts last year even. -

Re: James Harrison SB XLIII helmet
How common is it for an NFL team to purchase back gear, or even a player? I know one poster ha Ryan Clark trade for another GU jerseyComment

Re: James Harrison SB XLIII helmet
I don't know about a player buying back an item per say, but I also had a player trade me for his first ever worn NFL jersey thru a mutual friend we have. So I think that may be more common.Comment

Re: James Harrison SB XLIII helmet
Not sure about other teams but I'm pretty sure the game worn steelers stuff you see on nfl auction is donated by the players not the team. I read in a article where James Harrison was asked to donate one of his game jerseys to the auction and he said he would rather walk through hell in gasoline drawers than give them one of his jerseys. Gotta love Debo. I could be wrong but that's how I took it, that they come from the player and not the team.Comment

Re: James Harrison SB XLIII helmet
99.9% sure game gear is the property of the NFL. The players do have the right, usually, to purchase their uniform from the NFL.
I don't put it at 100% because I've heard that some players don't give them up easily. Esp Steeler player...Harrison (esp helmets), polamalu, and Hines ward usually do to the fact he sells alot of his game worn gear on his own site.Comment

Re: James Harrison SB XLIII helmet
With Bradys first legitimate jersey being auctioned for $50,000. What do u guys think of $50,000 for harrisons helmet?
Similarities...both teams are notorious for being stingy about releasing GU items. Tho NE getting a little better.
....both James and brady are notorious for not letting their own gear out. I think I heard Brady wore that same jersey over 2-3 yrs. And Harrison flat out refuses to give his away, even to the NFL who owns it. Ha.
....also I know Harrison had a commitment to JO sports for some items but then backed out. JO had already took big down payments for the items then had to refund the money.
So 50k is crazy but it was worth it to at least two birders for each item.
Interested in ur opinions?Comment

Re: James Harrison SB XLIII helmet
I thought it was a lot obviously but I think the price can be justified pretty easily. The helmet was worn by a top player who made the most memorable defensive play in Super Bowl history and was also on the winning team which happens to be one of the most storied NFL franchises and at the same time is one of the most stingy with g/u.
I do think the value is diminished somewhat because the Steelers gave up the lead and the Roethlisberger-to-Santonio pass is equally remembered. Had the Steelers cruised to victory, Harrison would have been the MVP and that play would be all anyone remembers from the game. Could put $100K on it in that instance and someone out there would have paid it.
As always though I could be wrong in my assessment!Comment
