If you paid BIG $ for JO's Cutler or Sanchez

[TriplexXxSports]

That's your opinion and yours alone. Don't pretend to speak for the rest of us here.

Great spelling, too.

Here are pictures of Jay Cutler from each year with the Broncos 2006,07,08.

As you can see he wears The "Bronco-cut" each year !

Why on earth would the Bears make a separate(older cut) jersey for someone that obviously wears the "Broncos-Cut?"

Yes, I am not a Bears Authenticator, but neither are you my friend. Nor are you affiliated with the Chicago Bears in any way.

[tjm5711]

You also use several pictures to show 4 different players. Here are pictures showing many more wearing the "Broncos-cut". I simply said the Bears hardly used that cut any more. I never said they didn't use them at all ! I think one of those pictures is of the same Urlacher in your collection posted on your website ! You can take a look at that and physically see the cut for yourself !

I never said they didn't use them at all ! 8 out of 16 games with player wearing the older cut is a little more than 'hardly used'. I could keep going through weeks 7,6,5,4,3,2,1, and preseason and and I bet they would be worn in those games too. I also stated earlier that THEY USED BOTH STYLES IN 2008.

And, what Cutler wore at Denver has NO affect on what the team tells him he is going to wear while at Chicago. He will wear what the Chicago Bears provided for him. As do all the other players.

Chris:

To defend my comments, I'd have to launch into ANOTHER political commentary, and I don't think that's what you want to hear.

I'll let this go, and likewise will wish you joy and peace this Christmas and a quality 2010.

Dave -

I hope it's better than how 2009 is closing out! Just had my 16 year old come home with his lip pierced - just to tick off his mom - and then it came to light that he has been smoking for the past 4 years... yes, BOTH types of tobacco! That said, I'll persevere and move on into 2010...

And to think I was going to give my Collection to him when he turns 18 to pay for college or whatever... I'm re-thinking that now!

The very best to you and yours this holiday season and into 2010 as well... I'm sure we'll have plenty to agree about, disagree about and to agree to disagree about in 2010!

Lip pierced ? YIKES ! Interesting how you planned on giving him your collection to pay for his college. That's a great plan ! Hopefully, he'll shake-out of his funk ! BOTH types of tobacco ? Now, that's scary ! I wish you the best of luck on that ! And they thought we were bad when we were kids ! LOL

Well Chris I can tell you I have been there before. Well actually, I was the juvenile. lol. Though I never did get my lip pierced.

But according to the new GI Bill that was passed August 2009, you can pass on your education benefits to your family if you wanted.

Though there are stipulations with it.

You should look into it, as it can save you from selling your collection.

Chris,

This may or may NOT be solid advice. Not sure of the GI bill thing (stipulations) nor am I sure of your age or if you are in the Medicare and/or Medicare system but getting rid of one's assets now may be wise thing before the Congress of CHANGE gets it. Why would I make such statements?

If one is considering estate planning, the current healthcare bill may be a good start to see just where we're going. Currently in America, Medicare is an option - you can either accept it or not accept it - it's very simple. Under the new bill, Americans lose that option and, if you don't have Insurance, you would be MANDATED to get into the Medicare system. This now allows the Federal government access to your personal records (financial and medical) and the ability to seize your assets.

That's just one aspect of the 2800 page bill the Democrats are pushing through. I'm sure the gang of CHANGE will have other sections of the bill to get your "STUFF". So, it may be better to dispose of your property the way you deem fit rather than have the Federal Government take it.

Hey, don't take my word for it, read it yourself.

PS: Sorry if my thread stopped people from escaping from the world around them but there isn't any escaping from the "gang of change".

34,

you started this thread by bashing another collectors purchase decision and then started crying in another thread because you could not afford to outbid someone for a ronde barber jersey.

I don’t see what you are doing to help this board. Don’t you have something better to do than to critique others buying decisions and complain about others wiling to pay more for items than you.

Let me tell you something about "34 Sweetness." He is the main reason I am in this hobby ! He has taught me an invaluable amount, and is an extremely honest and good person. I refuse to sit here and watch him get bashed for starting a thread that addresses the crazy high prices charged for unproven players ! 20 Grand for a guy who just played a couple games ! Come on, He's right on time with his assessment.

As far as the Barber Jersey your talking about. Well he has good reason to bitch about that ! Some clown bid it up to $1600 with 5 days left on NFL Auctions. We're talking about Ronde "Freakin" Barber here ! It's people like that and certain dealers who drive the prices up for things we buy ! "34 Sweetness" reflects a common sense viewpoint of those of us who aren't made of money. We buy these overpriced items, and the if we go to sell them on Ebay or something, we get torched on the money we lose !

I totally respect your opinion sir, and really don't wish to engage you in a debate. But you ask what "34 Sweetness" has done to help this board? I can personally attest to what he has done to help my growth and development in this hobby ! I learned a lot in a very short time thanks to this man ! he is EXTREMELY informed about game-used jerseys. Thus in my opinion, I believe what he has to say is extremely valid! And i refuse to sit here and watch him get bashed for expressing his honest and open opinion !
