What's wrong with my Brees/LT Auto Helmet auction?

[jdacunha]

I have had this thing listed for ages and not one single offer. I don't think it is over prices, am I missing something?

My initial thought is that Drew Brees changed his signature so that might be why people shy away. I would also suggest listing in the title, if the helmet is a replica or authentic. 3rd, the authenticity certificate is not from a reputible company. Lastly, the price may be too high. Although its seems reasonable, compare it to other completed items and its high. Unfortunately, resell on memorabilia isnt always what you would want or expect.

Im an avid autograph memorabilia collector, work for TriStar and have helped out with many signings and the industry, not just someone with negative comments. This is of course, only an opinion. Hope it helps.

You title should probably say Pro Line.

However, SMA is no PSA or JSA. The biggest issue is the most obvious: neither of them play there anymore. The chargers gave up on Brees too early so I am not sure how many collectors would be rushing to buy a helmet of 2 guys who are no longer there.

I know, I bought it when they were both rookies in SD

Probably wouldn't hurt to have the words autographed helmet in the title. When I think of how I would search for something like that I would search Brees autographed helmet...

Charger fans hate him and Saint fans want him on a Saints helmet.

Its hard to sell these type of items. I remember going to Tristar shows and getting autographs. Interest change and I try to sell these items back on ebay I be lucky to get 50% back. Now when I go to shows I make sure not to overspend on auto photo and helmets.

Yeah I don't think you can really charge a premium price since neither are on San Diego and the COA isn't the most reputable company. I know this costs some money to do but maybe put it at auction for 99 cents with a reserve and see how far people would go, although honestly eBayers try to avoid reserves at all costs so I'm not sure if that would really produce an accurate number for you.

I'll trade you a dual auto'd photo of Culpepper and Moss in Vikings uni's for it.
