Re: Wow
Not a football collector, but lampson LOA enough to keep me away, so I'm sure there's a problem somewhere with the item.

Re: Wow
I think that is the real deal as don't think there is a big market for faking Irv Cross gamers (although that was a great price). I know Cross wore a MacGregor, bubble ear model early in his career with the Eagles. Later, he switched to a Mac MH 100 with the exterior padding while still with the Eagles and maybe later with the Rams too. (Robert would probably know.) I believe I know the seller so I will try to find out what happened to the auction.

Re: Wow
Im the buyer and that price is not the final price ,the seller wanted to end the auction once we reached a deal ,but also wanted me to be the highest bidder before he would close it.
He is a nice collector and its the real deal.i also contacted Robert in case he has a photomatch .
I wish it was that kind of deal here haha.

Re: Wow
Lou is not a rubber-stamper like Chris Morales or Justin Priddy. He actually knows an awful lot.
His LOA's, IMHO, should be treated almost as an afterthought, meaning they don't really mean anything.

Re: Wow
Bruno89,
Congrats on your purchase. I have a question for you when you get the helmet. If you could take a look on the interior (between the geodetic suspension or underneath the front and back pads) and see if you see any traces/outlines of Eagle wings. A lot of Macs were clearshells and if so the traces/outlines would still be visible as they were applied underneath the clear shell.
Thanks and enjoy you have a great piece!

Re: Wow
Someone once compared a LL LOA to a MEARS A5 on a modern jersey. The jerseys details usually match up to a game issued, but there's no proof of game use. In that sense, a LL LOA does have some value.

Re: Wow
It was over too quickly. If the auction would have ran its full couse, I would have. However, it didn't happen that way and since I know the Buyer, he paid a good price for it and the way I see it, good for both of them.
As I've stated in other posts, I don't mind if a Seller ends a auction early to do a private deal. With eBay, there is always a "tomorrow" and sooner or later, something always comes along.
