I would give almost anything in my collection for a game used Marino helmet. I am aware of this helmet you are looking at. Some concerns I had was that the mask is not the original, the autograph goes under the decal. I looked and looked for photo matches and did find some for the shell. The seller assured me the shell and pads inside were indeed Marino's. And to be honest, I had it in my hands and I believe him. But, if that's the case, they took the shell and added the decals and numbers and cage later. I wasn't interested in paying a premium price for it as such.
