If I recall correctly, Jarrod Oldridge was supposed to be sentenced early this month. Has anyone seen or heard a result?
Dave Miedema
Dave, don't you think if any news of this came out that it would be reported in Collector's Sports Daily by now? If I were you, I'd contact Jarrod and ask him the status. He even offers a toll free phone number so the call is free.
Here is his contact information:

I'm going to go out on a HUGE limb and say it was a joke...
My thoughts - when his sentencing goes down, WE WILL HEAR about it to the point of exhaustion. I'm sure it likely has been given a continuance date by the court but it hasn't been publicized as to when the sentencing will take place.

I agree with your thoughts, but I doubt the post was a joke IMO.

If you could read my mind
I don't care why your opinion is, by the way on my post. I made my comment and take it as a joke or take is seriously, but if anyone wants to know, call the guy - He is still in business and should answer questions about his issues so people can feel conformable spending money with him, right?
And yes, I was confused why my friend Dave posted asking if anyone heard of the sentencing as I'm 99% sure as soon as it is made public, it will be all over this forum and Sports Collector's Daily. Also, I'm pretty sure Eric will come out of hiding and be the first to break the story.
I've found that game used collector's often enjoy research rather than waiting for somebody to write something up.
Accordingly, please know that court records are more often than not accessible at Pacer.gov. To the best of my recall, documents cost 10 cents a page and $10 worth of access quarterly is basically free to small individual users.
One of the neat things about doing your own research on Pacer is that you can see more filings than just those which may or may not be posted or highlighted elsewhere.
Personally, I've known all I need to know about JO for a long time. I haven't bothered to look to see whether some or all of this case's filings are sealed or not, because I don't care.
But for all of you, I hope sourcing court records electronically may help you to do whatever research you might want not only for this case, but anytime desirable in your lives.

I don't really care what your opinion is either, I took it as condescending and didn't think it was necessary.
I'd really be surprised that if you called JO that you'd actually get Jarrod. If he did actually get on the phone to discuss his issues with customers, I'm quite sure it would be a standard response crafted by his lawyers as he'd be foolish to discuss the case publicly while his case is still pending.
Not trying to stir this debate up but did anyone else get the email that they sent out? Everything being 40+ percent off and that all A tier players were pending purchase from a single person?

Thankfully, I’ve been removed from their e-mail list.
GU collectors are smart enough to realize that JO is likely to sell or transfer what portions of their business (desirable inventory, team contracts that can be assigned, consumer lists, billable accounts, etc) have ongoing economic value to a new or existing business.
Separate from the character and business practices that caught up with JO (as I anticipated), there was an innovative business model which achieved monopolistic pricing power.
Expect the equity owners of JO Sports to try and maximize the value of transferring whatever they can transfer… and that isn’t just inventory. Whomever the person (or entity) would be that is buying "all A tier players", it would be foolish to anticipate it being anything other than an alternate selling venue.
So much of the pricing power in JO's business model came from the monopolistic pricing power that it would be wise to anticipate that such "A tier" inventory will stay together in whatever business or person operating as a business might come to possess it.
The thing I find weird about the "A tier players" is that they say that they were all removed from the site because of the purchase. I went to the website to see what A tier players they were and I still see Tebow, Hali, Lewis, and many others. Those seem like A tier players to me.
Well I just had to Ask. I have delt with this guys Lance in the past. I got the e mail. So I asked about Steelers items. Quicker than ever I got a reply. Has a few Mike Wallace jerseys. 2500.00 that is with the discount. Shoes 500 and gloves 250. I saw these a few months ago as a set for 5000 and 6000. I dont know the whole story behind Jo Sports. I have read a few things. All I can say is from my experience. I bought a pair of cleats which the player confirmed they were his.
