Hey Dave - Thanks for the compliment. I absolutely love that helmet; I'm always looking for items that are unique and different. This was actually a pre-FanFest pickup. When I heard that players could no longer wear the old helmets, and that the Mariners would likely sell theirs, I put in a request for this one. When I went to the September 11, 2011 10th Anniversary game, I took pics of Smoak wearing the helmet, but I never imagined in a million years that I would actually be able to own it.
Yeah, I did. It was an issued one at the beginning of the final day. I was like, at that price, I'll take it.
The helmet prcies were progressively lowered on both days. I think the Smoaks started out at just under $100 and dropped from there. It was my birthday, and I just had way too much fun sweeping them up.
If I remember correctly, there were three groupings of helmets, and each had a different price. And then in addition to that, there were stickers underneath. So the prices were quite varied, depending upon the player.
The last day I picked up a Trayvon Robinson 2011 double-flap helmet, which was pretty cool. You rarely see switch-hittters wearing them anymore, and so I thought I'd buy it at $40 as well.
if i knew they were 40 bucks the next day i would of picked more up i only got 1 a Luis Jimenez for about 100
Wow, you got a Smoak helmet for less than $40? How did I miss that sale? At the Fanfest the Game Used helmets were $120 and Issued were $80. I was there when they opened on the first day of fanfest. Did they lower their prices on the last day or something?

At FanFest, the helmets were much more reasonable, as, many were marked down below $40. I got my Trayvon Robinson double flap helmet for that price, as well as at least one of my Smoaks.

I think the helmets were priced at $150 at Safeco this past year. However, many times they were discounted. With the helmet of a forum member, I got a cracked Smoak...

I know Smoak will never be a superstar, but this is an item with great appeal for me, since I am a big fan and love unique items. It's the kind of piece that is untouchable in my collection.
Beef, If I remember right, during the season last year they were 150 or 175. At the fanfest this year they had them at $120.

I temporarily don't have access to some of my pics, because my computer broke. So I can't share that much. But I do have a few already on my Photobucket account that I'll post.

Thanks Eric, let me know if you decide to let go of the seager. It would go well with the jersey and pants of his that I have. Or if the Ryan becomes available just because its soo dirty. Lol
If you guys don't mind me asking, what do helmets go for? I've been a jersey guy so helmets are new to me. Might be cool to pick up a Brendan Ryan helmet since it looks like he stored tobacco and pine tar on his helmet.
