2005 Derek Jeter Game Worn & Signed New York Yankees Batting Helmet - Photo Matched to 81 Games Including Playoffs. By the time this auction closes, the Baseball Hall of Fame will have welcomed into its fold one of the most beloved figures in the long and illustrious history of Big Apple baseball, its author occupying the number six position for career hits compiled during two decades of pinstriped service. It's such a remarkable achievement that it's easy to overlook the fact that Derek Jeter effectively played a twenty-first season over that long tenure, appearing in 158 postseason games with 734 plate appearances and 650 at bats. Though his regular and postseason batting averages differ by no more than a single point, Captain Clutch slugged over twenty-five points higher under the game's brightest spotlight, burnishing his reputation as a Yankee hero.

This helmet was worn by the 2020 first-ballot Hall of Famer during the 2005 season and is also photo matched to five postseason contests. Resolution Photomatching went through the painstaking process of matching the headgear to 81 games from the 2005 season. During that long stretch, Jeter clubbed 144 hits (.323 average) with 11 homers, 64 runs scored, 39 RBIs and six stolen bases. As would be expected, excellent use is showcased throughout with pine tar on the front and near the ear hole along with numerous scratches and abrasions from game wear. "2" is featured on both sides and an MLB sticker is affixed near the back number. Jeter carefully signed the front and inscribed "2005 Game Used" for good measure. The inside size sticker is undecipherable because of the use endured. A Yankees-Steiner letter and smaller COA (autograph) further establishes authenticity. Simply put, the finest Jeter helmet from his extensive career. LOA from Yankees-Steiner. LOA from Resolution Photomatching. COA from Steiner (autograph). Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
