Game Used Favre Story in SCD

Re: Game Used Favre Story in SCD

And that jersey is only from the first half of that game against the Patriots

Looks like the Jets had Favre switch jerseys during games so they would have a lot of them to sell

Re: Game Used Favre Story in SCD

So is this the first Brett Favre NY Jets game used jersey to hit NFL.com auctions. Already at 4 grand. Will be interesting if more of his jerseys get sold through the Jets on NFL.com. That seems where they move game used stuff. Here is a link to the auction.

maybe we will see the Titans throwback he used in the 6 td game hit the market someday.

I suspect that this hiring will coincide with a MEARS announcement soon that they will be opening up an auction house which has been hinted at numerous times by Dave Grob in some of his articles written...

Dave, wouldn't it be nice to have a 2nd major auction house that works along the lines of the MEARS Auction House Policy?

Re: Game Used Favre Story in SCD

Any of you who have purchased/obtained Favre gamers measured the back of the jersey as in the article? Is it consistant with th 19 1/2" measurement? It appears his jerseys were larger and more baggy in recent years (2006-07) than in the 90's? Is there an agreement or am I just seeing things? Thank you for your response.

Mine is from 2004 and it is more like 19 1/4"

Re: Game Used Favre Story in SCD

I just talked with Chris. He's in the car and not by a computer, but he wants folks to understand that he's not disappearing from this, and he hopes to write more of this type of story in the future...including a follow-up to the Favre thing when/if new info comes out that warrants an update.

He is excited because he knows that he will have a lot more freedom to write these types of stories under Dave Grob than he had in previous positions.

He also said that when he does post things, he will be posting on the MEARS site.

Anyway...more is coming.

Re: Game Used Favre Story in SCD

I hear you. I will ask him about it and post back if I hear anything new.

My guess is that he will be posting more, but I really don't know. I am actually going to see him tonight because he's in town for the Packer game. I'll let you know...

Re: Game Used Favre Story in SCD

Bizarre. From columnist or editor at SCD (of course a horrible job for an employer that's one FBI sting on Coach's Corner from defunct) to doing WHAT for an authentication business? Don't get it unless MEARS is truly going into other things. And the timing is horrid, there's been SO much interest generated by his piece now you have to wonder if there will be a follow up...

I don't think the Favre story has anything to do with why he left SCD for MEARS. The timing is just coincidental.

hey scott

well that's what many were wondering, whether the two were connected. at a minimum, couldn't chris have explicitly confirmed or denied that there was/wasn't a connection? are you saying that nerat will indeed follow-up with a response to the favre story, as troy k. wrote that he would?

the story generated more interest and attention than all of nerat's previous work combined. i'm hoping chris doesn't turn into a 1-hit wonder. he hasn't posted a single lick about any of the multitude of questions raised about one of the biggest stories to come out in years. no offense to him or mears, but his response was little more than a mears PR-marketing snoozefest. like a tim duncan interview. "i'm very excited to join this organization which i've respected for a long time and we're all very excited about the new and exciting products we've got planned blah blah blah". turn off the press-release bot and get to the good stuff already.

Re: Game Used Favre Story in SCD

"He will address the issues of the Favre story, his reasons for leaving SCD, and his future"

http://www.mearsonline.com/news/newsDetail.asp?id=562

this is what i woke up early for? truly, i hope that isn't the entirety of chris' response. to summarize his post: "troy's a cool guy who once helped me out on a retail jersey so i'm now working for them". not a single word about the favre story.
