    Re: You'll never guess what I'm getting

    My friend Mike, who lives in Chicago, attended some sort of ceremony after the Bulls won their first championship in the 90's. He had bought two championship edition Sports Illustrated featuring the Bulls, and was able to get them both signed. One magazine, the one he's keeping, is signed by the whole team and was offered around 10,000 dollars. The other one, which he is giving to me, is signed by Paxson, Pippen and Jordan.They're currently in his storage unit, so he has to dig them out. Whenever he finds it, he'll send it my way. So I can get it as soon as possibly next Tuesday until all the way until early-mid August.Either way, sweet f*cking deal, especially for free. He just wants someone who will appreciate it, take care of it, and not sell it, which is why he's giving it to me.I will include pics upon receiving.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (AiRuPtHeRe? @ Jul 4 2007, 08:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'd sell it...</div>Same. Autographs are only cool when you get to meet the player when they sign it...not either when you buy it, or when you just throw the player a ball, they write something with a pen, and toss it back. I don't get anything out of it.

    I would sell it too. You could make so much money for that. It's not cool unless you meet the person like Mardy said.

    If you were to keep it and sell it, wait for a couple of years for the value to shoot up. 10K ain't a lot compared to what you could get down the road for something like that.

    It'd be very tempting to sell, but like he told me if he see's it on eBay he'll kick my ass [​IMG] . I told him I wouldn't, so I won't. Plus he could've been a dick and sold it to me for 10K too [​IMG]

    Lol, if I were to sell it, it wouldn't be for a couple of years so I can rack up some more money. But even if I were to sell it, I'd make sure he was fine with the amount I was getting and would give him some.

    Re: You'll never guess what I'm getting

    ^^ I'm not being "dumb" about it, I'm keeping my word. If someone gives you something like that, especially for free, that's F*cked up to sell it. Especially since he's a very good friend. If you guys would seriously sell it after a good friend gave you it for free and asked you not to sell it, you're pretty cold hearted.

    Friends are replaceable when you have $10,000.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Justice @ Jul 5 2007, 06:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Friends are replaceable when you have $10,000.</div>Not real friends. Maybe the friends who mooch the money off of you and when you're broke, they split.You guys are really cold blooded. Doing that to a friend? Like I said, he's giving me this for FREE when he could sell it for 10K, so why the F*ck would I back stab him like that and sell it when he asked me not to?

    I'd keep it until you really needed the money and were out on your own. Say you need some money to help support you down the road. Sell it then, it willl also be worth more then too. So don't sell it now, show it off. Then sell it later. [​IMG] luck you thouhg
