Check out this Virginia Tech helmet I found today!

Went to my local seafood place to get some crab meat. I spotted this lid on a shelf in the store. The employee said that his old neighbor was the VT equipment manager and that the guy used to give him game used stuff. He said that he has about 50 old "rip away" jerseys at home. This thing was so thin and had a big ol' crack right up the center!

Any ideas on value?

Vintage,
Nice helmet! No idea on the value. But, according to this site ( http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/ ) Tech only wore that style for three seasons.

Great find!

Thanks Scott. I thought it was a neat old lid.

Does "I hate Virginia Tech" count?

I'm not a fan of college sports either but I just thought that it was a neat piece.

I'd feel the same way about a Red Sox item, I despise them!

I would hate them too if my team hadn't beaten them in like 5 years.

I didn't even notice. Guess I got distracted by all the arrests and indictments and whatnot.

Yeah they beat my favorite team too, though.

Also, to clarify, I'm just f'ing around. I'm too lazy to hate an entire school. Seems like a lot of effort.
