Players selling their own gear

[The Devil's Advocate]

Thought just came to me in another thread.... talking about how during a lockout, these dudes go so broke, so fast, that they agree to anything


why aren't players just signing their shyt and having their mans selling it?? are they allowed to??


think of lebron.. all the hangers on he got... instead of paying them out of pocket, buy 100 jerseys, or have nike make them.... sign them... then give them to your mans to sell on ebay... for 1000 bucks

that's an easy 100k right there.. that's more than people make in 3 years, doing 20 mins of signing


i'd be doing that shyt all season... game worn shoes, game worn jerseys, shorts, helmet... i don't give a fukk

not all these dudes making millions.. especially rookies and vets

has there ever been an ACTIVE player who did this as a side hustle?

You'd deflate the value of your autograph by doing that though if you were allowed to do it.

Man I saw an ebay auction from a brand new seller with one of every Lomas Brown jersey every including a probowl jersey like "damn...its real out here for a retired player "

u really think somebody like Bron would need to do this?

 

[Zach Lowe]

for LeBron it's not worth the embarrassment

and a 10th man wouldn't make any money

i used his name... but in the end i specifically said it'd be good for rookies and vets...

really it'd be good for anyone considering no matter how many millions they make, they usually go broke soon after retirement anyway

but some vet on a minimum contract but he still got a name, could easily make a quick 50k

You'd deflate the value of your autograph by doing that though if you were allowed to do it.

but who would know? i got a fukk up brother always in my pockets... i just give him 100 jersey's and say "here's your money for the year" didn't cost me shyt








but i completely forgot... most athletes DO do this... but instead of ebay.. they sell to a sports reseller or to an auction... even while actively playing... like kobe bryants mom

take russell wilson... he still making 3rd round draft pick money... and won a ring 2 years ago

for two years he could have been doubling his salary easy with 40 mins of work... shyt he still don't have a big contract

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

and cam newton charged for the autograph... he coulda just done it the other way around

They wouldn't even have to sell autographed shoes. They could just get retros that are hard to cop or that sell out immediately and just sell them for the marked up price like everyone else does.

retro js vs a russell wilson signed game worn jersey?

russ ain't even make a 1 mil in any season yet and won't be making 1 mil this year either

 

[Reggie]

Some J's and Foams go for 1000's.

what you think russ could get easier... his jersey or some limited edition J's

a signed jersey not even worn is going for 559 on the official website... http://www.mountedmemories.com/NFL/Russell_Wilson

so peep game... he already signed the shyt right?? then another company sells it and makes the money off it.. i just put 6 in the cart... so they must have a lot 6 items$3,299.70

meanwhile, russ just made zero dollars off that... he could have literally done the same amount of work, and got his niece a check..


i'm not saying nikkas open up a sweat shop.. i'm saying do what you already do (autograph signing) and have your boys sell it and keep 100% of the profit.. if they sold 100 a YEAR (they'll sell more) that's still 55,900 dollars a year.

I fee you and of course he has more access to his shyt. But it's not like he cant get any J he wants either. I just know it's a lot of money in shoes and someone like LeBron could give his game worn shoes to his homies unsigned and they would sell for a grip.
