Game used helmet auction

I found an interesting item listed on an online auction site today, it looks to be a game-used Dick Allen Phillies helmet from his first stint in Philadelphia. If you look at the details of the helmet, you can see it has been repainted a couple of times, including a rough "P" logo redux.

Here is the link for the helmet auction. Bidding has ended. It started at $200 and ended at $2,789.90. I doubt I would have wanted to spend that much, but this is a very cool piece of DA memorabilia.

eBay watch: 1972 Dick Allen game used jersey

I have not been looking for Dick Allen related items as often as I normally do, but this morning I happened to notice this gem on eBay. I have not idea if it authentic, but judging by the photos it appears to be legit. Unlike the typical (and un-authentic) red pin striped white sox jerseys that some eBay users have been trying to sell.

This is a really rare find and although I am not planning on bidding - expect the bidding to go very high. If you are the winning bidder on this, go ahead and drop me an email, I would love to hear how you are going to display this treasure.
