I remember seeing these a lot, but not being a sports fan, my quarters never went toward them. And I was hesitant to let $4 go toward them at the sale, but I took a gamble. I usually lose when I gamble. Checking eBay once I was home confirmed my fears. There were larger lots going for $10 and less. I went ahead and listed them anyway with a starting bid of $4.99. The sale finished today after heated bidding with a winning bid of $32.63. I have no idea what the particular attraction for this lot was. I can only guess one of these is not common. Maybe the older style Cardinals helmet or the Redskins helmet (the design being an older one). At any rate (or at a quarter a piece), that's a lot of gumballs.
i'm guessing it's the older helmet art. like you, i always had zero interest in the sport, but for some reason i thought these were neat. just like the baseball helmet/beer cups that you could get at one point. $32 makes for a nice profit.
