The worst part is they’re also doing it for after market signings as well. For example, I make custom cards and certain athletes are “fanatics exclusive” meaning they’ll only sign fanatics-licensed merchandise.

I will never be able to get my custom cards signed by Joe Montana or Jerry Rice, no matter how much I pay.

Luckily idrc about either of those two but guys like Barry Sanders and Lawrence Taylor would be great disappointments to me (luckily AFAIK neither has moved to the dark side yet)

This is genuinely one of the worst offenses I’ve ever seen in my life. For all the talent at the skill positions…

It’s like if Iowa was an NFL team

Giants vs Ravens. My favorite team vs my favorite player. Can’t lose.
