Gotta ask everyone's opinion on this...

I also looked at the ear flap. However, even if they were the same helmets, which they couldn't be, would people be any farther ahead changing from one star to another?

Unfortunately, I sold the helmet shortly after I bought it (at my local sports memorabilia booth). I don't remember the side the flap was on...

All I can say is that provenance is important for newer pieces, especially hats and helmets.
