1995 Edgar Martinez All Star Game Batting Helmet
1995 All Star Game Used Batting Helmet
It appears the helmet was made in January of 1994. It has been signed by Kirby Puckett, Tino Martinez, Paul O'Neill, Kenny Lofton, Wade Boggs, Carlos Baerga (possibly) and Tony Cloninger. There may be one other signature, but it appears incomplete and is not identified.
Since the helmet is signed by both Kirby Puckett (his last ASG) and Tino Martinez (his first ASG) it narrows it perfectly to 1995. Also, Cloninger was a coach on the AL team that year. Outside of it being from the ASG, the only other real possibility is that he took it with him to multiple stadiums throughout the season which is very unlikely.
Overall I would say it shows light use, which would be correct for a single game.
I checked the video of the 1995 AS game. The decal placement on the rear appears to at least be a style match.
Asking $750 or best offer. Very tough item. Please email me for additional acquisition details and photos at tim@hofbats.com. INQUIRIES WITH SERIOUS INTEREST ONLY, PLEASE.
