Sam LaPorta Signed Detroit Lions Riddell Speed Alternate Mini Helmet

This is a Riddell Speed mini helmet featuring the Detroit Lions' alternate 2024 coloring, characterized by a vibrant 'Honolulu Blue' matte finish and the classic lion logo in a modern black and silver outline. The helmet is signed on the right side of the crown in silver paint pen by Pro Bowl tight end Sam LaPorta. The signature appears clear and bold against the blue background. The helmet includes a black four-point chin strap and a black plastic facemask, mirroring the design of a full-scale professional helmet. It is housed in its original clear plastic factory 'clamshell' display case with a black cardboard base featuring the official NFL and Riddell branding. A notable quality indicator is the presence of an NFL authentication hologram sticker visible on the lower left of the helmet shell, as well as a retail barcode label on the front of the plastic casing that identifies the item as 'SAM LAPORTA SIGNED LIONS 24 ALT'. The condition appears excellent with no visible scuffing or fading to the signature or the helmet's finish. The piece represents a modern era of sports memorabilia (circa 2024) specifically targeting fans of the Lions' recent rebrand and Sam LaPorta's breakout rookie success.
