It's a huge brain eaters. I'm coming down on the point shop to sell my old football helmet. The reason I want to sell it. It's been sitting in my house forever collecting dust. I'm trying to sell it for $500 but Lois, I'd probably dio is $200 bread. Around the tines of the twenties, the helmets became optional. It was much more brutal than today. Lot less rules, literally. In one year in college ball, 12 people died so eventually became mandatory. And believe it or not, when they first came out, you went to a shoemaker to get your helmet made. I believe it's believed that the first football helmets were used back in 18 93 in the Army Navy game. But those helmets sought, and by the 19 forties, leather helmets like this were a mandatory in the NFL. When they first came out, they didn't have the holes for the years, so guys hated him because you couldn't hear anything with, um, this is just like a thick hat. The need thing is, as most of these were tossed, right? I mean, you just don't see these things anymore. And this one's in great shape. Like most Americans, I love football, and I want this helmet. I have to be smart on the price because it's not tied to a particular player or team. How's it feel? It's not good. Um, So what do you want to do with us? No, no, I'm wondering, you know, is there is there a market for, like, a long time memorabilia there is. I mean, it's not associated with the player or a team or anything else like that. Um, I'll give you 100 bucks for it. 100 bucks. I can't. I can't do that. I'll go 100 quarter. That would be him. How about 1 30 then? We're haggling. All right. 1 30 I started on $130. Seeing that they wouldn't budge. So I figured I might as well just take what I could get in Rome with it.
