Nfl Football Helmets Make Really Nice Gifts

I received the first of my huge collection NFL football helmets when I was 8. In those days they did not have mini NFL helmets so I had no choice but to line the one I had with a small towel to get it to fit my tiny little 8 year old head. I recall it being Christmas and being the child of a sports fan meant that my brothers and I often received some type of sports product for birthdays and other occasions which would be customary for gifts to be handed out.

When I hit 15, I had many NFL replica jerseys from various teams. My bedroom looked more like a sports museum. My desk and night stand were littered with my popular sports memorabilia collection. My wardrobe was full of NFL replica jerseys. Even my blankets were sports logo items.

Those who had been to my bedroom had remarked that I had more MLB merchandise than a sports merchandise shop. With all those products, the main challenge I had was the shortage of space. It was not exactly the ultimate frontier, so the saying goes, but it was still a challenge. The ironic thing was although my siblings and I had collected enough sports merchandise to fill the USS Nimitz, my father had a relatively meager collection.

I have been a sports fan for as long as I can remember. And I am fortunate enough to have never received a sports related gift I did not like. I have received everything from logo door mats to books on MLB trivia. But my favorite sports memorabilia are still my collection of NFL football helmets. A lot of which are autographed. Those are the ones I store in the attic. Meticulous kept to ensure the signatures do not get accidentally erased. And away from irritating family members and kids who insist on trying every single one of them on when they visit. I am not trying to be selfish but those helmets are worth quite a little fortune. Especially the autographed ones in a complete set. Those among you who have valuable sports memorabilia like these should go the extra mile in making sure they are maintained in mint condition. You would not believe how much some of them might be worth in time to come.

My collection of collectibles has expanded to include mini NFL helmets as well as the ones on keyrings. Needless to say, it is near impossible to get the keyring helmets autographed so I thought of getting them thumb printed. But unfortunately, that would just cause a lot of legal problems. So I will stick to normal sized goods from now on.
