Jalen Hurts charging $400 an auto

[boxbuster7]

who cares if hurts isn't charging that?

it's still a rip off no matter who is

[ZappBrannigan]

Jalen Hurts the Wallet. Topps Now.

[ddearing]

If his price was bothering you, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. All the tickets are now sold out. Supply and demand should set the price. According to this, the price could’ve been higher.

Well I know how badly he gets paid ….
Probably no endorsement deals rather
Poor guy has to scrape by somehow
In the spirit of the other bo poster I will keep
It simple…
Regardless who is getting the fee his name is associated with it
And it’s a bad look imo
But to each their own

There’s no “bad look”’ in charging fair market value for a non-essential commodity.

If someone offered you $50 for a card and someone else offered you $100, is it a “bad look” to accept the offer for $100?

Is $400 a lot? Guy has been to 2 Super Bowls in 3 Seasons. A Happy Meal is close to $20 now, and it appears boxes are junk cards are close $1,000.00 each.

I think it is a lot when Jalen Hurts RCs and signed cards (and other signed stuff... helmets, jerseys, etc) aren't popular or selling much in terms of price or volume of sales.

Hurts is no Mahomes or Allen or Burrow - or even Dak - or when it comes to merch sold. He's not even close, never was. Saquon outsells Hurts handily - both now, even when he was NYG.

I mean, let's get real... Fanatics has DRASTICALLY upped the price of Mohomes' signed stuff (jerseys, helmets, cards, etc)... roughly 3-4x what Hurts ones are. But it's still great value on Pat (and/or bad on Hurts?). In 10 or 20 years, are the Hurts ones worth anything at all? Doubtful. He'll be looked at like McNabb was compared to Brady or Manning.

I have to change my tune and agree after alot of the post. A 1000.00 playoff box can get you only 50.00 in cards or 400 to get a psa signed auto and meet a superstar isnt looking that insane especially when people are saying its the bullsheet promoters with crazy fees.

1) It's not a "PSA" auto at these sessions (you still get to send, and pay, PSA/BGS/etc for auth/slab it). It's just a sig on a card at any arranged/event/HOF/etc auto sessions... on a hat, card, jersey, ball, whatever. A sig that you can then enjoy - or can try to convince a buyer is legit auto (and usually buy a $100+ slab to do that). The little foil "witnessed" sticker won't do that; everyone knows those are dime a dozen and many eBay ppl selling "auto" merch and cards and etc ruined that awhile ago. You can buy sticker sheets of fake ones.

2) Is Hurts a superstar? Is he HOF? NFL star, sure.. 2x ProBowl, yes... but superstar? Really? He's not even the biggest star or most known FFB guy on his own NFL team - esp if Barkley had gotten the season rush record.

If ppl are buying at those prices, good for him. Make that paper while you can. The Eagles and NFL are cashing in on the SB victory. Why shouldn't the players?

Price was known upfront. He's not pulling something like KAJ.

Don't like it, speak with your wallet and don't pay it.

Btw, is the avg price is a Happy Meal really close to $20 in the US of A? I haven't been to McDs in awhile, but that doesn't seem right.

[Poorboy]

It sure seems like a cash grab to me
Why not reward eagles fans and cut them a break ?
Or at least donate a percentile to charity ?
And I don’t mean fanatic”s wallet lol

[Poorboy]

I guess it’s everywhere
Look at what brady charges
Why?
Ok he is the best all time
Multi millionaire
Why charge so much to those that paid his salary?
It makes no sense
Whose signature is worth 1500 and up today?
Of current or recently retired ?

Pretty sure all these millionaires are giving away a % to charity. Gotta protect that money somehow.

[packman80]

Aaron Rodgers even more with $650-800 with $230 to add 3 word inscrption. is the MVPs worth the extra up to $400 for a item over Hurts?

The Happy Meals are like $5-6. It's the combo meals people are complaining about being close to $20 in some areas(though that's an exaggeration too-most areas a Big Mac meal is around $10-12)

Giving money to charity in the US means you don't pay taxes on the money you gave away(if you itemize). It doesn't protect the rest of your money from taxes.

No self-respecting parent should feed their kids McDonalds. Unhealthiest crap on Earth along with General Mills breakfast cereals. Full of sugar.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say you maintained a steady diet of Cookie Crisp and Big Macs during your formative years

Lol. The problem in America isn't the food... it's the quantities. Cutting gym class out doesn't help a ton either.
The "danger" food talk makes a good shock factor, but people survived millennia eating noting but whatever was able to be locally hunted/foraged (seal fat, elderberries, swine, grasses, etc).
The body can pretty readily convert almost anything we eat to what it needs (fat to carb... carb to fat... protein to anything... except can't make protein, except from other proteins).

Sure it's better to eat fresh and healthy stuff (common sense), but 4000cal is 4000cal.
A lot of the organic and clean food marketing is just price markups; people still can't moderate.
Anything from a Sbux latte to Applebee meal to even most fine dining is just too much food.
Our problem is much more quantity of food/snacks than quality.
That's why Novo stock is making me rich... and cards is a hobby.

...and yeah, as said above, an adult McD's meal is $20USD in *some* areas like downtown Chicago or downtown Miami or maybe at airports, tourist trap areas... but in most, it's not even $10 for adult McMeal or $5 kid meal at the local drive thru. The sky is not falling.

Lol, wtf are you talking about?

If America (and other places) can't stop eating... you blame the people who come up with the remedy to that (and diabetes) to offer them a better life quality? When they've been doing that over 100 years? Ok.

...but yeah, I'll invest in what makes money. I believe that's the point of investing. Maybe I'm simple.

Dude he's talking about PSA is on site to put a holo sticker on it with a serial # to authenticate it as an authentic Hurts in-person auto ... nothing to do with grading.

Very true.

Mahomes is the class of the NFL and has won three Super Bowls. His playoff record is 17-4.

Hurts has been to two Super Bowls... first one he lost by 3 in a game he threw for over 300 yards and had 4 total TDs; second one he won in a blowout where the backups were put in against a Chiefs team that was playing to Three-Peat.

Records he set:

Most total touchdowns in a quarterback's first two Super Bowl starts (seven).

Sixth player all-time with 3+ total touchdowns in multiple Super Bowls.

Second quarterback with a 70% completion rate and 3+ total touchdowns in multiple Super Bowls (Tom Brady is the other).

Most rushing yards by a quarterback in Super Bowl history (72), breaking his own record of 70 in Super Bowl LVII . Hurts has the two highest single-game rushing yardage totals by a quarterback in Super Bowl history.

Fourth quarterback to win Super Bowl after losing first Super Bowl start (Len Dawson, Bob Griese, John Elway).

Third quarterback to start and win a college football national championship and a Super Bowl (Joe Namath, Joe Montana).

First quarterback to defeat Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs not named Joe Burrow or Tom Brady. Mahomes was previously 15-0 against quarterbacks not named Burrow or Brady.

First quarterback to win Super Bowl drafted after Patrick Mahomes (2018 or later).

Has a playoff record is 6-3 and the Eagles have made the playoffs every year he's been the full season starter.

Allen has never been to a Super Bowl. His playoff record is 7-6 and he's 0-2 in AFC Championship Games.

Burrow has been to the Super Bowl once and lost. His playoff record is 5-2.

Dak has never been to a Super Bowl or an NFC Championship game. His playoff record is 2-5.
