Re: Dallas Cowboys Collections

Thanks Hfd! My first game used helmet and I couldn't believe I won at that price! I'll post the pics as soon as I decide where to put it in my room...

Felix Jones Helmet

Hello,

Great deal on that Felix Jones Helmet (they were selling the bags alone for over $300). Almost 100% sure it was worn for the 2010 season. If you do just a Getty images search for Felix Jones for the 2011 season you will see he is wearing the Schutt Air Advantage II helmet as that helmet has the slot right behind the ear hole (getty image 136236706). This style of Schutt helmet I think is discontinued but a ton of Cowboys players still use it. In 2010 he appears to be using the older style Schutt Advantage shell as the slot behind the ear hole is not present (getty image 107653288). For 2009 (getty image 95449460) he had the extra hole drilled next to the upper chin strap (most Cowboys helmets did that year for some reason)
If you look closely a lot of Cowboys also still use this helmet shell as well (Jason Witten has used the same silver helmet his whole Cowboys career)

as they just recondition the helmet and replace the interior padding each year. Your helmet should have some reconditioning decals inside and could even have a Prova chip as well.

I hope this helps at least your start in matching your helmet.

Re: Dallas Cowboys Collections

Man, a Witten would probably be the only one I would spend that kind of money on. But $4000? Ouch, I just dont think I could do it.

$4,000 is crazy for Witten. Steiner sold the TB last year for $2,000 I believe and then the buyer had it on Ebay for the same price for months.

Re: Dallas Cowboys Collections

Thanks Jay!
One more question. Do they clean the helmet after every game? I find some markings but not sure..

Re: Dallas Cowboys Collections

Hello Cowboy fans! Here is some of my collection.

My pride and joy up to this point with my collection is the game used Jason Witten Throwback jersey from 2006. Lots of game use on this one. I actually bought it for my daughter who absolutely loves Witten. I've also got pictures of a game used Lee Roy Jordan jersey, Roy Williams gamer with pants from 2006, a preseason durene jersey from the early 70's, a 1978 Billy Joe DuPree Pro Bowl jersey, and a beautiful sideline jacket from the late 60's or early 70's.

A fellow collector posted a picture of a 1969 Flowers jersey with patch. Can anyone tell me what this jersey or similar sells for? That is a spectacular jersey!

Re: Dallas Cowboys Collections

Some nice pieces there. Since the Lee Roy Jordan jersey is mesh and not dureen, that means it's missing the nameplate.

Yes, that's correct. What are your thoughts about having the NOB restored - if I can find someone to do a perfect job?

There's some guy who sells vintage authentic nameplates on eBay. Maybe he can help you out if you contact him.

Re: Dallas Cowboys Collections

Awesome collection 94!

That Felix Jones helmet looks better than I thought, great pick up!

I just picked this up last week. Supposively Chuck Howleys helmet from his last season. After a little investigation I decided what the hell, and took a shot at it.

Re: Dallas Cowboys Collections

I was in Dallas last week and met up with my wife's uncle who is into creating laser cut art made of glass and such. I know it's not game used but I thought it was something nice to share.

Felix Jones Helmet

Hello,

Sorry for the late response on the helmet, but I am almost positive the helmets are cleaned and repaired after each game, taking a lot of the surface wear off in the process. I have had seven Cowboys game helmets over the years and none really showed a ton of exterior use (face mask scuff marks, paint transfers, scrathces, etc.). The center stripes are usually replaced each game and cut just above the dymo tape (like you helmet). Also they are painted 'Cowboys blue' and though they appear silver if you had two side by side you can see the blue in the paint. The repainting of the helmets produce a visible buildup mostly on the chin pad rivets and the rear raised safety seal as well. I would check the final game of the 2010 season (play off game against the Eagles) to see if any of the marks can be seen in that game.

I hope this helps and glad you got that helmet for your collection. I hope this thread keeps growing.

Cowboys Helmet

Did not mean that they are repainted after each game, just that after each actual reconditioning you can notice the build up of paint over an original new helmet. In fact the only game helmet I have ever seen where this is not the case was a Terell Owens Cowboys helmet which still had the silver rivets on the jaw pads. It is a great helmet as well and someone on this forum has (had) it.
