William Perry Bears Appraisal

Signed William 'The Refrigerator' Perry Chicago Bears Riddell Alternate Speed Mini Helmet

This is a Riddell Speed model mini football helmet featuring the Chicago Bears' alternate orange color scheme. The helmet includes a vibrant matte orange shell, a black face mask with black side clips, and the iconic 'C' logo decal in navy blue with a white outline. Positioned prominently across the top of the 'C' logo on the left side is a hand-signed autograph in black felt-tip marker from legendary defensive lineman William Perry, famously known as 'The Refrigerator.' The signature is located on the upper portion of the helmet shell and appears clear and legible. This item is housed in its original clear plastic retail clamshell packaging, which includes a 'Be Real. Buy Real.' PSA/DNA or similar authentication marketing sticker in the corner. The base of the package is marked with the Riddell logo and 'Mini Helmet' branding. The condition appears to be 'new-in-box,' with the helmet's finish glossy and free from visible scuffs or fading, and the internal components like the chin strap visible within the mold. This piece represents modern sports memorabilia, likely produced within the last 10–15 years, celebrating a 1980s era NFL icon. Quality indicators include the authentic Riddell licensing and the crisp application of team decals and internal padding mock-ups typical of high-quality collectors' mini helmets.
