If you’re a fan of the Green Bay Packers you may want to buy it and burn it as a ritual sacrifice, but the helmet worn by Marshawn Lynch in Seattle’s January 18 NFC Championship victory sold at auction Monday night.
The Seahawks sold the helmet, complete with Lynch’s trademark visor, in their latest auction, drawing 47 bids before Monday night’s close. The final price was $8,222.
Lynch rushed for 157 yards and scored a late touchdown to help complete an improbable comeback and spoil the Pack’s upset bid, sending Seattle to the Super Bowl. It’s also remembered as the score that resulted in a $20,000 fine for making an obscene gesture.
His Super Bowl Media Day jersey sold for $5,550 and a game-worn Lynch jersey from a September game last season, brought $4,801.
