Steve Grogan Autograph Appraisal

New England Patriots Riddell Mini Helmet signed by Steve Grogan

This item is a New England Patriots Riddell Mini Helmet, notably featuring an autograph from "Patriots Legend Steve Grogan." The helmet is housed within its original clear plastic packaging, which is slightly scuffed but appears to protect the item well. The base of the packaging is red, displaying the "NFL" logo on the left and "Riddell MINI HELMET" prominently in white lettering. Inside the packaging, the mini helmet is white with the classic *Patriot Pat* logo on its side, depicting a minuteman preparing to snap a football, rendered in blue, red, and white. The helmet appears to be made of molded plastic, replicating the form of a full-sized football helmet, complete with a grey plastic face mask. A crucial element accompanying the helmet is an "Autograph Ticket #194 & Embossed Certificate of Authenticity," confirming the signature of Steve Grogan and dated "March 6, 2005." The item shows no visible wear, damage, or repairs, consistent with a collectible that has been kept in its original packaging. The quality of the helmet itself is typical of officially licensed mini-helmets designed for display, focusing on accurate scale representation and logo reproduction. The craftsmanship is factory standard, intended for collectors. The style period aligns with the mid-2000s, based on the certificate date.
