Re: Namath's Game Worn Super Bowl Helmet? Nope.
A job well done by YOU ! Apparently you have access to pictures or an internet that auction houses do not have access to .......
Honest mistakes are fine as long their mistakes don't cost someone big money or hurt someone !
Apparently no one at Heritage thought to double check what appeared to 100% provenance ......once again ... it is all about doing your homework....

Re: Namath's Game Worn Super Bowl Helmet? Nope.
On the one hand, I think it is very good that Heritage took the evidence from aeneas and pulled this obvious mistake of a helmet from the auction. On the other, there is a Buyers Premium of 19.5% which is used to cover fees from authenticators..... I was told by Lelands once "The premium covers all fees associated with marketing, authenticating, storage etc." It should give me "piece of mind."
Therefore, since aeneas did the actual grunt work research and saved the Auction house tremendous bad press, a possible lawsuit and some collector a minimum of $50k, shouldn't he be offer the Buyers Premium......Just a suggestion for the guys at Heritage......
