Guy on eBay is telling me that game used ones were never made available for sale, and those that are for sale are simply replicas. Sounds like BS to me. TIA

I don't think you'll ever see anything like that being made available to the public for sale ever again. At least, not the way they did it with the original White helmets (I've got an original game used!).

They will auction that stuff off in the future. I believe, although I'm not certain, that they did auction a few of the helmets off last year.

Also, the players get first dibs at buying them. Then the big-wigs in the TAF get theirs in private sales. THEN, they'll auction off the rest.

Then by assuming that the original helmet probably would sell for several hundreds of dollars, what would be a reasonable amount for a replica?

Depending on the type and quality, $150-200, with the Revolution (assuming it's real/non-game used) at the upper end.

The original White Helmets from the 1997 Independence Bowl were sold for $200. They literally just lined them up in the old Gift Shop in the stadium and anyone could go in there and buy them. The more popular players and face mask styles went quickly.

My understanding is that game worn gear is available on campus at the book store. Does it sell quickly or do they usually keep a good many items in there for sell to satify the customers ?? Or do they sell it just a certain times in the season.

And, will there ever be a replica of the Nike pro combat helmet ?? Anyone know ???
