Re: Out of curiousity why does JO sports

I didn't start this thread to stir up a debate on what they do business wise. I just wanted to know why they removed the 9-11 patches. I personally like JO sports and happen to agree with just about everything you stated above. You pay for quality not quantity. As far as the pricing. I would have paid anything for my grails I got, so when you want something really bad people will buy it no matter the cost. Just look at the jerseys they sell for 8grand and up. People (collectors) look at some of the jerseys as grails and price is not an issue. What I don't like about JO sports is how long it takes them to get jerseys in sometimes. We are in week 3 already and I have yet to see 1 dolphins piece yet.

yeah im waiting to see what they get, and curious if it includes cut players

so far they've received:

ravens
bengals
giants

I don't think that's JO's fault. I'm sure the terms of their agreements with each team state how often and how many jerseys they get from teams. Maybe the Dolphins haven't had to send JO any jerseys yet because they aren't obligated to. JO hasn't received any 2011 jerseys from many of their partner teams.

Re: Out of curiousity why does JO sports

This thread started with a simple question that was answered with the first post. I am going to go ahead and lock the thread as the original poster's question was valid and has been answered. If someone wants to start another thread in General Sports Discussion regarding jersey pricing, charity auctions vs. for-profit companies they they should feel free.

When posting, I try to keep in mind that the stated purpose of this forum is to "bring game used collectors together and help hobbyists educate each other". Does every post have to be groundbreaking in its educational value? No, that is just not realistic. However, I do believe we should try to keep this purpose in mind when we are posting on the forum. Thanks!
