So, I have a chance to buy 1 of 2 helmets and I'm having a tough time choosing (can't get both). Both are the same player, different seasons...

One is a heavily used, slightly cracked helmet that has been photomatched to minimally 15 games. It was worn for probably a full season and a month into the following. Shows outstanding use during what was a good season.

OR, a helmet that was used for only about 3 months, uncracked but photomatched to a relatively significant event in this player's career. It might be able to be matched a few more times, but it doesn't have many distinct marks on it. Moderate use, nowhere near the use as with the other helmet.

Helmet 1: Cracked with lots of use from a decent season and many great photomatches.

Helmet 2: Uncracked, moderate use but matched to a career milestone.

My question is, given the above, does anyone have thoughts to help make this decision I might be overlooking? Any thoughts appreciated, I'm having a tough time deciding...
