I don't think he's asking for an address. I think he wants to know how to ship.
There are two basic ways to ship. You can use two bubble mailers or two boxes. One would be small enough to minimize the postage costs while protecting your helmet. You would use that for the SASE. The other, used to send out, would be large enough to fit your SASE, helmet, and letter. I've sent baseballs out before, but never sent out a mini helmet so I don't know what sizes you need to use.
I would suggest taking the helmet out of the package. You don't want someone to sign the packaging -- and it's not a smart idea to think they would be bright enough to take the item out for you. I've known people who sent cards in topoaders and got them back with the toploaders signed, not the card.
