The point of the original poster was that the helmet turned into a
"game issued" piece and received numerous cosmetic changes. The fact the PSA certification was missing seems relevant to the big issue of what looks to be FRAUD!

He brought up the fact that the item was missing paperwork so it is a valid point for the discussion. I wasn't trying to side-line the discussion but it seemed relevant to me.

Here's what he said to me

So an authentic Brian Dawkins game helmet is worth $5,000-$10,000?

LOL!

I have had recent contacts with Murphy2002 who is still at it. I built and customized a Broncos helmet that was later signed by Peyton Manning through Steiner. Mr. Murphy purchased the helmet I built and had signed. He later sold it exactly as purchased from me by advertising it as "game issued" and stated "this helmet was acquired directly through Steiner Sports" which is an outright lie. He currently has numerous "game issued" helmets listed that are inaccurate in style, facemask, and in some cases even decaling. When I messaged him about it I got a reply that was sarcastic and religious in nature. He refuses to comment on the actual item in any way, refuses to respond to any item related inquiries, and focuses on religion and then threatens to report any further contact to ebay. It's a shame such dishonest and misleading practices are allowed to continue.

Sprint do you have a link to the auction where the manning helmet was sold?

Almost everything this guy sells is "game issued", yet he doesn't have a single cert for anything that states that the item is actually an issued piece. I wouldn't touch a single thing he's selling.

Seems like he preys on the uneducated.

Unfortunately, I do not. It was a considerable time ago. But as I mentioned I contacted him yesterday. He has a Polamalu helmet listed that is wrong in style, incorrect facemask, and even the decaling is wrong. I pointed this out and said the term "game issued" was misleading. At no point did he acknowledge the helmet did not come from the team. In fact he wouldnt even address the item or my concerns at all. Very sarcastic response.
