Stopped off at the Dave & Adams MegaStore the other day while on the road for some other buying. I was hoping to find more of their Hit Parade hockey stuff, but it's too popular. So I watched a guy buy one of the Hit Parade full size baseball bats, then a full size football helmet. He picked out a heavy one, and ended up with a pro model helmet of Hall of Famer Bruce Smith!

After some coaxing, I told the guy I'd only buy one if he found another "heavy" one. He went in back and came out with one.

Here's the break:

Notice this is the "retail version", different from what is sold on their website.

Each helmet is bagged in these sweet, sweet sport bags!


I opened the bag...

All I could think of is " Oh man, they just had, of all people, Peerless Price in for a signing, PLEASE NO."


Turned it around.....

Two in a ROW! Bruce Smith "HOF '09" inscription!

Also, this is a pro model helmet as well!

As I mentioned, this is the "retail exclusive" edition, which might explain 2 Bills Helmets in a row...

No diss on Peerless! It's just that I was there when they were setting up for his signing and they had TABLES AND TABLES of helmets to sign for the company before the public signing.

More of a Peerless Price helmet not being very rare / hard to get.

CONGRATS! SWEET SIGNATURE.

THanks! I got lucky and found a 60% off sale at the local Michaels, so now it's on display, and looks a ton better out of the plastic kitchen wrap it was in to protect the signature:

Awesome! Congrats on the great addition!!! D&A's Hit Parade products really have been a hit and are making them even more well-known in the hobby.

Yes, thanks! I only bought this after being told they were too low on the Hockey products to get sny more in the store until the next series.

They recently showed this one on their facebook someone pulled...




I also saw they had a Stefon Diggs helmet pulled in store as well!
