Skol Legend & Hall of Fame Royalty: Cris Carter Signed Minnesota Vikings Riddell Mid-Size (MIDI) SpeedFlex Helmet w/ "HOF '13" Inscription
Celebrate one of the most sure-handed wide receivers in NFL history with this Cris Carter Signed Minnesota Vikings Riddell Mid-Size (MIDI) SpeedFlex Helmet. Hand-signed in crisp paint marker across the helmet shell by 8-time Pro Bowler, 2x First-Team All-Pro, and 1999 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Cris Carter, this modern collectible helmet features his official career milestone inscription: "HOF '13".
Famous for his uncanny sideline footwork and legendary hands—immortalized by ESPN's famous phrase, "All he does is catch touchdowns"—Cris Carter dominated the wide receiver position for 12 iconic seasons in Minnesota (1990–2001). A core pillar of the record-setting 1998 Vikings offense that scored 556 points, Carter finished his historic 16-year NFL career with 1,101 receptions, 13,899 receiving yards, and 130 touchdown catches before earning enshrined immortality in Canton as part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2013. Manufactured by Riddell, the MIDI (Mid-Size) SpeedFlex line offers the modern, aggressive design features of the popular full-size SpeedFlex helmet—including the cutout crown flex panel and modern faceguard—in a compact half-scale size perfect for desktop display. It serves as an extraordinary centerpiece for sports offices, fan caves, shelf displays, or NFL Hall of Fame memorabilia collections. Every signature and inscription is verified 100% authentic under the strict standards of Schwartz Sports Authentication.
