Riddell Appraisal

Signed Adrian Peterson Minnesota Vikings Riddell Eclipse Alternate Speed Mini Helmet

This item is an officially licensed Riddell Speed mini football helmet, specifically the 'Eclipse' alternate version featuring a matte purple finish. The helmet is autographed by NFL legendary running back Adrian Peterson in a silver paint pen. The signature is located on the upper left side of the crown and includes a specific inscription: '28' (his jersey number) and '2012 MVP', commemorating his historic most valuable player season. The helmet mimics full-size professional equipment with a black plastic facemask, internal padding detail, and the iconic white, yellow, and black Minnesota Vikings horn decals on both sides. It is presented on a white plastic display base with a black chin strap attached. Included is a Fanatics Authentic certification card which serves as the provenance for the autograph, bearing the serial number ZZUWF80436. The condition appears to be mint or near-mint with no visible scuffs, paint chips, or decal peeling. The matte finish is consistent across the shell, and the silver ink of the autograph is sharp and vibrant against the dark purple background, showing no signs of fading or smudging. This is a contemporary piece of sports memorabilia likely produced within the last 5-10 years as part of the Under Wraps or similar mystery box programs from Fanatics.
