Need Opinions On A Mock-Up Player LOA

Re: Need Opinions On A Mock-Up Player LOA

Quick opinion:

You don't need that LOA.....at all.
The uniform aand JO's cert speak for themselves. It doesn't get any more rock-solid that that.

Just a suggestion........make the trip and have Brian sign the back of the jersey. I know some purists hate auto's on jerseys: I happen to think they're effing awesome. Especially if I get to see the deal go down.
And like you said, you don't plan on selling it so who cares what the so-called purists think. Get that jersey signed!

Thanks,

But unless Brian will give me his FULL sig, there is no way that a marker is getting even close to that jersey!

Re: Need Opinions On A Mock-Up Player LOA

Many players do not care about their game used items, or what they sign. I've seen players sign LOAs similar to this. The worst that happens is he says no and you get your money back from the host. I'm not saying that I would be surprised if he refused, as I've seen that happen, as well ... and certainly some players would immediately object. Perhaps it's not worth it to you to try if there is a risk that the player will refuse. But to assume that no player would sign an LOA like this does not make good sense to me. Different people have different attitudes about things, and therefore behave differently in the same situation.

Re: Need Opinions On A Mock-Up Player LOA

Like the others have said your best bet is to simplify it as much as possible and more so I think you would want to remove anything that says Triple xXx Sports. Even the background logo you have on the LOA. This will give the player IMO the idea that you are affiliated with some sports memorabilia company and this item is going to be sold in the future even if that is not at all your intention.

Just put a nice border around the text and jersey photos you have and tell him that you would like him to sign this because you want to frame it with the jersey or something like that. Maybe you can do a Chicago Bears helmet border or background photo or something like that. Try to come up with a document that comes off as more "fan" then "re-sell".

Good luck!

If the player hesitates at signing a document, you can ask him if he will inscribe the jersey as 'game used' under his signature.

I don't know about ecveryone else....but that's the one thing that keeps me from buyng a TON of pieces. I personally can't stand inscriptions, epsecially "game use". If I can't tell the item was game used by looking it over, then I shouldn't have bought it in the first place. I don't need the "game used" written all over it. And I certainly don't look to impress anyone with items, so I don't need "game used" written on it for anyone elses benefit.

Not sure if having the player inscribe "game used" is a new practice, but it certainly detracts from the item IMHO.


Just my .02 on the "game used" inscription.

Re: Need Opinions On A Mock-Up Player LOA

I understand and appreciate the sentiments, and understand some people don't even want a gu game or jersey signed. However, many buyers like the game used inscription as it indicates the player believed or knew it was game used. I'm not offering an opinion about who is right and who is wrong.

Re: Need Opinions On A Mock-Up Player LOA

I will not be getting a signature or an inscription on the jersey. If I cannot get the LOA signed then I have to live with what I have.

Getting a signature/inscription on a jersey limits the way it can be displayed. A GU shirt with wear on both sides needs to be able to be displayed that way. If it is signed on one side it limits the the way it can be displayed.

With everyone's comments in hand, I think I am at my FINAL DRAFT. Y or N?

Re: Need Opinions On A Mock-Up Player LOA

Looks good although I still don't think you need any mention of Triple xXx sports on the COA unless you just feel the absolute need to include it on there. Also, I don't think having your signature is needed next to his either. I think it will just create some doubt as to what he is signing.

I think if you removed those two things and left it as is I think it looks great. Just stress to him that you created this for him to sign instead of the jersey for the reasons you mentioned previously.

Re: Need Opinions On A Mock-Up Player LOA

I agree with it not being necessary to have your signature or anything about your company name. If you were going to sell the item (which I know you aren't), then I'd have a mention of a company name. But since it's just for your collection all you should need is to have the details and him to sign it.

Also, you have it saying "MLB" by Urlacher's name... obviously you know the problem with that. haha

Good luck!

There is no problem with "MLB" it stands for MIDDLE LINEBACKER.

Yes, but is that what he was meaning by that? I was assuming that since for his signature, he had his name plus the company name, not like "Matthew, CEO TripleXXXSports". I don't know ... I obviously know that MLB is middle linebacker, but I thought he intended to have it say NFL, but I could certainly be wrong.

Either way, if meaning to have it say MLB, that seems a little weird to me because of the example I gave above.

Just my .02
