I believe that your comments are “spot-on.” The sports collectors world need to be carefully and not drive the fans away with their prices. I understand that the prices are based on the players asking price/show fee. However, if the fans ever decide that we/they no longer wish to support the RG III’s and Aaron Roger’s million dollar wallets… it’s get a real job time–players!
I completely agree. The kid has done nothing but won the Heisman. He could turn out to be another first round QB bust in the NFL. I wouldn’t have even wasted my time or his by negotiating a contract for him to come at a price like that.
Franco Harris is pricey, but at least he has an NFL resume and a HOF career.
Rookies charging more than big time HOF’ers is absurd. Ron Dayne came out of college asking $75. Cam Newton was over $100 w/o ever playing a down. Anyone want a Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, or Brady Quinn autograph? Imagine paying a $100 for them right out of college. Ridiculous to speculate that kind of money on rookies.
Tried getting guys for my shop. Revis wanted $25,000 and to be private. Will not deal with the fans asking for photos, etc. That is $83.00 per auto. Only 300 in 2 hours. Fast and out of there. That means to the pubic is $100.00 hoping to sell 250 to “break even” Then of course there are “menus” for players. They want so much for 8×10, mini hel, full size hel, 16×20, jersey, art pieces etc. Hard to keep track. Give the promoters credit for having guys. Sometimes a player does not want to be bothered at all, and throws a high price out there. Some promoters take the chance since , “when was the last time some of these HOF’s have been around?” Oh don’t forget that we have to fly them in 1st class, provide a limo, and a hotel room…. $$$$
A BIG PASS on RGIII. Too much money for the risk. Franco Harris is pricey but tempting, but with a lot of great opportunities at this show I’m going to pass on him as well.
These prices will force me just to get my Y.A.Tittle stuff signed.For the money I would have to pay to get Roethlisberger to sign a helmet, I can get my photo taken with Y.A., have him sign it, plus my helmet,a football and another piece. And he’ll sign “HOF 71” for no extra charge.

Seriously guys, those prices for RG3 are insane!
Yep. That’s crazy. I think the price for Franco is nuts too.

You are right… it is our choice to support or not!

These guys are starting to push the collector/fan out of it!!!
I agree, but at least he’s a super bowl MVP and hall of famer

There should be a cap on rookies! =)
