According to a a civil-racketeering, breach-of-contract, malicious-
prosecution and trade-libel suit filed Wednesday in Bergen County (N.J.)
Superior Court, a helmet displayed at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in
Canton as the one Eli Manning wore in Super Bowl XLII is a fake.
The New York Post reports that sports memorabilia collector Eric Inselberg
alleges that the helmet is one of many forgeries passed along by the team as
they “repeatedly engaged in the distribution of fraudulent Giants
memorabilia.” According to the suit, the team’s equipment manager Joe
Skiba told Inselberg he created fake memorabilia at the behest of team
management and players, including helmets purportedly worn by Manning in
each of his Super Bowl victories, and the lawsuit includes an email that
they believe shows Skiba knew he was handing over ersatz goods.
The suit also alleges that the team’s dry cleaner has been part of the
activities by doctoring up jerseys to look like they’ve been worn in games
before being sold. That dry cleaner, Barry Barone, is named as a defendant
in the case along with Skiba, Manning, owner John Mara, team lawyer William
Heller, CFO Christine Procops, locker room manager Ed Wagner Jr. and
equipment manager (and Joe’s brother) Ed Skiba. |
