Brett Farve is now the quarterback for the vikings. Greatest quarterback alive..
Actually, his last name is spelled faVRe. And After being bashed up as bad as he was during his last game against the Saints, there's no telling whether he will retire or keep playing. But after being hit over, and over, and over by the Saints defense, he'll definitely be a little gun-shy for a while.
He is a famous Quarterback for the Green Bay Packers (an NFL team) he has broken lots of records too! Yes Right now he is a Quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings (an NFL team). In case you are intrested, their record is currently 12-4. He also played for the Green Bay Packers for 16 years, and the New York Jets for a year before coming to the Vikings. We (sorry, I live in MN and am a Vikings fan) are playing the New Orleans Saints (record is 13-3) for a place in the Superbowl. Go Favre!
There are many factors that comes into play when determining the value of a mini-helmet signed by Favre. 1. What type of mini-helmet? 2. Was it signed in person or bought from a second party? 3. Does it come with certificate of authenticity? Answer to 1: Usually, a mini-helmet made with metal facemask with accurate replication of the very same helmet worn by Favre commands the highest value. If it's a lineman type facemask, it brings down the value. Collectors are somewhat picky. They prefer a helmet that is accurate right down to the minutiae of the full-size Favre helmet. Answer to 2: If it was signed in person by Favre in front of you, then that is great! If it was me, I wouldn't care what the value of the helmet was...the intrinsic value of getting it signed in person by a Packer legend would be ENOUGH for me. But if it was signed by him and sold by a 2nd party, I would question several things: Where was it signed, proof, and what kind of quality the helmet is. And above all, trust in the 2nd party means something. Answer to 3: A certificate of authenticity is ONLY worth the paper it's printed on. That's my opinion. You have to look for the obvious beyond the words on the paper. There are several companies out there that deal in sports memorabilia, companies I have found to be of good reputation. Of course there's a bit of a higher cost when dealing with these companies. Same thing for PSA/DNA and GAI. Personally anything with a official Brett Favre hologram affixed to the piece in question would help. So as to determining the value, like I said---all of these have to come into play. Beware of fake items. For instance I came across a helmet SUPPOSEDLY signed by Favre except I pointed out to the seller the helmet was signed "BRETT FARVE" Classic. Ha. Hope this works.
Yes, it is. The company went from being publicy traded to being privately held, then went back to being publicly traded in 2010.
