I was watching that auction with another GUU member and we were wondering the same thing. I hope for them he turns out to be a good player. I guess this is a great example or supply and demand.

Beck is obviously the next Dan Marino. The 26 year-old rookie looked great in his first NFL start, completing 9 of 22 passes for 109 yards.

I think $7,600.00 was quite a bargain!

Re: NFL Auctions - John Beck

I paid less for my 98 Marino that I got from the NFL. All I can say is, 2 guys wanted it bad. I hope the winner enjoys it. God knows I've paid too much for guys I like. It is real, which is the bottom line. I think it is is first whole game. It may be a deal in a few years.

All I can say is IF the bid's legit, some people have far more money to burn than they have common sense. Better odds in Vegas than Beck becoming a HOF'er which is what he'd have to become to justify that price.

Maybe Beck himself bought it. I would want my first NFL gamer for sure and he can afford $7K! Players have to know about these auctions.

Re: NFL Auctions - John Beck

Another Beck is up on NFL.com. I think it's from the Steelers game. Shows some good use. Will see if this one even comes close to what his other one sold for. Maybe people will pay a premium for a game worn jersey of a team that may end up 0-16. Also a sweet Jerry Porter is up from the same game.

Shows some good use.

Pretty safe to say EVERY QB jersey from EVERY Dolphin game would show LOTS of "use".

Re: NFL Auctions - John Beck

2 years later and this looks like one of the worst buys ever.

Re: NFL Auctions - John Beck

Funny to read this old thread. First thing I notice is nobody jumped all over the guys who said that someone overpaid for that jersey.
In short, two years ago no one cried because someone espoused an opinion based on common sense.

It's interesting how this trend towards being overly "politically correct" seems to get more rampant with each passing year.

Re: NFL Auctions - John Beck

What's Beck up to these days? Warming the bench somewhere?

Re: NFL Auctions - John Beck

He hasnt started a game in two years and currently plays for the Ravens. I think he is 3rd string.

Not only hasn't he started he has not even thrown a single pass or gotten any game action other than five games in 2007. He will be 29 at the start of next year so he cannot be considered a young QB anymore and there is not much chance of him ever starting somewhere at his age. Even late bloomers like Warner and Romo were younger than that when they broke through. Right now his career line is 1 td 3 ints and 559 yards passing with a QB rating of 62. It just goes to show that one has to be careful before investing alot in young unproven players, this buyer might as well have burned his money. This is also way I do not invest more than a grand in one player.
