The helmet that Eli Manning wore in the Giants 17-14 victory over the then-undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42 will be auctioned off, as reported by ESPN’s Darren Rovell.
Manning’s helmet was one of the major pieces of evidence in Manning’s memorabilia fraud lawsuit with Steiner Sports which led to an undisclosed settlement, as reported by Rovell.
“This is a very significant piece,” said Goldin Auctions president Ken Goldin. “Bidding for this will definitely surpass $130,000.”
Goldin is being modest with his expectations on what the helmet will go for as this will arguably be one of the most treasured memorabilia pieces in New York sports history.
