Re: Dick Butkus Pro Bowl helmet
Looks like somebody bought it already.
GU FB helmets are not an area I'm educated in, but I can verify the background of Ron Zera. He used to talk to me often during his role at Wrigley Field as the visitors clubbie. He even sold me a GU Jim Wynn jersey he picked up in his travels. After he left the Cubs organization, he spent several years at Old Comiskey Park co-operating a stadium souvenir stand with a longtime vendor at both Chicago ballparks. If it did come from Zera, I'd be pretty supportive of it.

Thanks Dave. I think the clips were replaced, but the rest totally checks out, IMO.
Thank you,

Re: Dick Butkus Pro Bowl helmet
Im not judging in any way,, but why is the Bears logo under the paint black as opposed to white? Just curious.

The C decal was removed from each side then white paint was applied. The white paint wore off, or "didn't take", where the C once was applied.
Thank you,
