Giants Flash Alternate Appraisal

Theo Johnson Signed New York Giants Riddell Speed Mini Football Helmet - Flash Alternate Edition

This is a Riddell Speed Mini Helmet, specifically the 'Flash' Alternate edition, featuring a metallic cranberry-red finish and a silver facemask. The helmet is signed on the left-side crown in white paint pen by New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson, who has included his jersey number '#84' in the inscription. The helmet displays the iconic white 'ny' Giants logo on the side. Physically, the item is approximately 5 inches tall and is constructed of high-gloss plastic with internal foam padding and a four-point chin strap, mimicking the design of full-size professional equipment. It remains housed in its original clear plastic 'clamshell' display packaging with the Riddell branding visible on the black base. Authentication elements are prominent, including a RealSign autograph hologram, a 'FLASH Alternate' series sticker, and a retail barcode labeling the item as a 'Theo Johnson Signed Giants Mini Helmet.' The condition appears to be 'new in box' (NIB), with the helmet surface showing a high-luster metallic sheen free of visible scuffs or fading, and the autograph is bold and clear with no smudging. This modern collectible represents a contemporary specialty finish often sought by sports memorabilia enthusiasts for its unique aesthetic compared to standard team colors.
