Press Pass Hype Has Reached A Level Of Absurdity

So, I was doing my usual eBay digging that I do when I get bored, and I stumbled across two separate phenomena that I deem absolutely fucking ridonkulous. 


#1 - Matthew Stafford Press Poop autos are going for in upwards of 100 dollars. Are you fucking kidding me? First off, Stafford wont even be worth a purchase until 2011, and even then he will still probably be on the Lions. Secondly, if you look at past trends, Matt Ryan Press Poop autos from 2008 are holding steady at 45 and below, unless low numbered. Adrian Peterson Press Poop autos from 2007 are below what stafford is going for. What the fuck people? This is fucking nuts. Do your fucking homework and stop making "im sad about no football" purchases. Hell, UD draft comes out in a few weeks, calm the fuck down.

#2 - Knowshon Moreno Press Poop Autos are cracking $50 on a regular basis. Holy fucking fuck, I dont even know what to say. Its pre draft and there is no guarantee the guy will even be drafted in the top 20, and you are paying 50 fucking dollars? Are you mental? Jesus. Go buy yourself an auto'ed mini helmet and have something nice until the real stuff comes out, or have a little patience. 

My name is Adam and I think Press Pass is a waste of space.

  3. They must be the dumbest prospectors in the world if they are. No one who knows anything about football or the hobby would buy anything at this price unless they are die hard fans of them and cant wait a few weeks.

  4. Some people collect college players and press pass in general you know? Whether you think it is a stupid product or not, to bash them for paying what they think it is worth is fucking dumb. Are they paying more because its a new product? Yes. But that is no different of a pricing trend it will be for the same players in different products.

    I know when any Florida Gator is a high draft pick, I go after his press pass card autographs only. They are of them in their college uniform, not their shit useless NFL uniform I'll never watch them play a game in.

  5. More than likely University of Georgia fans buying these up. Both Moreno and Stafford are very popular down there and this will be one of the few on-card autos of them in their college unis. Happens every year a handful of players in Press Pass.

  6. Yes, but why not wait a few months and get them at half to a third of the price. Its ridiculous to buy now.

  7. The same could be said for 98% of most newly released cards.

  8. It's retarded to buy any cards, period.

  9. I think the above comment may have just been a shot at the blog, but upon closer inspection, this douche may have inadvertently spoken some words of wisdom.
