What's the best way to sell my Walter Payton helmet? in c/bears@nfl.community
[–] snotick@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

At this point, I think I'm going to send it to PSA for grading/authentication. Based on what I'm seeing they can go for $2k on up. For that amount of money, I want to make sure that it's authentic. And without an official certification, someone will want to use that to negotiate the price down.

Thanks for the interest. I can message you once I get it back.

I knew it was jest. I'm okay with that.

What's the best way to sell my Walter Payton helmet? (alien.top)
 

Figured I'd ask here. I have a Walter Payton helmet that I bought in the early 90's from one of the home shopping networks. I have a general certificate of authenticity, but it's not numbered or holographed. I have no doubt it's genuine as Walter was on the show signing a bunch of them when I bought it.

Should I send it in and have it authenticated by Becketts, PSA, or JSA? Is it worthless without? My other concern is that I don't want it to sell it to a resaler, I want it to go to a fan that will appreciate it. However, I don't live in Chicago (I'm in Omaha, NE) It's been in the curio cabinet in my man cave for 30 years. We are looking to downsize and I have to part with some of my collection.

Any suggestions appreciated (event the ones that suggest I wait until they have a winning season, lol)

Why not pick up Fields 5th year and draft a QB first also? in c/bears@nfl.community

- So you spend a 1st on a QB, who sits on your bench for at least a year.

- Then you trade that backup QB for a 1st round pick (because you're not getting multiple picks for a QB that couldn't beat out your present starting QB)

- Whereas, if you keep Fields and trade that 1st round pick you could get a 1st round pick this year, next year and additional picks.

Sorry, but I don't see a scenario where you have the upper hand after you use your 2024 1st round pick on a backup QB.

What are you hoping for? That Fields becomes your #1 and the guy you drafted becomes your #1 also? You would have to trade Fields in order to recoup your draft capital because the other QB hasn't proved that he can play in the NFL.

I thought to myself that I might miss Matt Nagy but then I remembered this quote from him and I'm wondering who put a spell on the Bears so our head coaches are losing all their brain cells... in c/bears@nfl.community

Who put the spell on the Bears? They did it to themselves when they let William Perry score a TD in the Super Bowl instead of Walter Payton. As long as Ditka is still alive the curse will remain.

Santos little helper

[Mike Florio] As crazy as it sounds, there's a rumor making the rounds of DE Chase Young being traded to the Bears. in c/bears@nfl.community

I'm okay with it. As long as it's for a 4th round pick.
