Adrian Peterson is the Minnesota Vikings all-time leading rusher, and one of the best running backs in NFL history. In 2012, the man they call "AP" or "All Day" finished 9 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's NFL single-season rushing record en route to winning league MVP honors. His off the field reputation took a rather large hit in 2014, but at 29 years old he still has plenty left in the tank and will continue to climb up the record books. This lot includes three Adrian Peterson signed pieces. First is an authentic Reebok size 54 home purple jersey with his autograph in 9/10 black marker on the front '2'. Next are two Minnesota Vikings Riddell professional game model helmets (both size L) that "AP" has autographed in immaculate 10/10 silver paint pen. They are practically identical in every way, unworn with shiny purple shells. The only difference is the location of the signatures - one on the left side and the other on the right. They all have early Peterson's autographs as more recent examples of his signature are simplified "AP" versions.
NFL hologram sticker (#LF 209811244) can be found just underneath the left ear hole of one helmet.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
Includes a Letter of Provenance from collector Robert Zweigle.
