Eli Manning's Helmet from Super Bowl XLII vs. Patriots Up for Auction

The helmet worn by quarterback Eli Manning during the New York Giants' Super Bowl XLII win over the New England Patriots in 2008 is set to be auctioned off.

According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, Goldin Auctions president Ken Goldin expects it to fetch the highest price ever for a football helmet at auction: "This is a very significant piece. Bidding for this will definitely surpass $130,000."

The current record for a helmet sold at auction is the $126,500 spent on a helmet worn by former Notre Dame player Rudy Ruettiger, who was the inspiration for the movie Rudy.
