I am an appraiser give me a moment and I shall tell you (this is literally what I do all day)



Update: Current Market you should not pay any more than $325 for it (that is just below current cost and a good deal in this market). If you can manage to wait a month or so you can likely get it for closer to $200 The exact same helmet sold on eBay less than a week ago for around $300

Expect to pay some mark up due to current market but do not pay more than $350-$400 the price will drop soon. Especially since most sports memorabilia is mass produced (even signed pieces) and are worth almost nothing in the long run.

Is this what you are talking about buying(same pictures): http://cgi.ebay.com/2006-LSU-TEAM-SIGNED-FULL-SIZE-HELMET-SIGNED-BY-45_W0QQitemZ250073060299QQihZ015QQcategoryZ73402QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

If so do not pay any more than $325 for it it really isn't even worth that but because of the current market that's likely the cheapest you might possibly get it for. Just ask yourself how much do you want it, and if you are buying it for resale. If you plan to resell it later then this is a terrible time to buy anything from this team.

Those signatures don't change anything in this case.

Answer 2

What ever you pay for it now, it will devalue in time and five years from now, you'll get 10% of the cost -- if that -- heaven help you if you need the cash to pay of school loans or buy a house. Never buy for investment -- only buy for the love of it, and then the cost doesn't matter. Just what you can afford and not take food off the table,

Answer 3

A six-pack of warm beer.

Now if it were something cool like a Badger or Packer helmet - then we would talk about some big $$$$$$$$$$$

Answer 4

What you will pay depends pretty much on supply and demand. LSU is hot, so you can expect to pay a few "C" notes for it.

Answer 5

depends on the player

star QB/RB/WR $250
average player $200

Answer 6

$859.

Answer 7

ill say about $100 max

Answer 8

if you are bidding, go like a few cents higher than the highest bid if you really want it bad.

Answer 9

$2, I'm not into football.

Answer 10

that could go for a few hundred!!
