$230 and up
It is private signing, so you drop off at store by April 6. They take to JJ (or so they say) and then you get a call when item is back and signed.
No opportunity to see JJ.
Yeah no thanks. I'll just wait until i can buy a JJ numbered auto on EBAY to add to my personal collection for 10x cheaper once all of the "new era junk wax" sports card products are released.
I already have a few autographed/numbered JJ cards. I know the pro cards go for more than college, but I've got a soft spot for seeing my favorite players in the maize and blue.

Nice! I am right there with you. I have a few Bowman U Blake Corum auto's and now I have the itch to add JJ to my collection!
How about seeing them in purple?

No thanks. Would hate to have to root for him to not work out in the NFL if he’s on a divisional rival as Lions fan. Hope the commanders, giants, or someone not in the nfc north takes him.
Please no….i can’t root for Minnesota.
As a Packers fan, this is Defcon 1...just no.
Dolla, dolla bill, y'all
I’ll be dropping off my authentic legend helmet. I have 1 with like 20 of the older players and now a new one with hutch Don will johnson Blake now JJ. Missed the boat on Loveland but I’m sure he will sign again soon

That price is ridiculous .
JJ has been very generous with his time but has found some revenue streams. NIL can be something that endures when you win the National Championship. His signature adds value to any item instantly.
He has a pro memorabilia deal now, this is no longer NIL.
This is pro NIL, which is what the college players wanted.
Price is ridiculous. Give me a handshake, a picture with him and a signature and that is fair value. But dropping off an item and not even seeing him sign it!? That is just really weird.

I still wouldn't bother I'm sure (not a huge memorabilia guy) but I'd have been more inclined if it was NIL for him while he was on the team.
(Double post)
I went to his MDen signing in Dec 2021 — was really cool experience for my family. He was very nice, answered some Qs from my son, and was just an all-around awesome guy. Kind of a bummer people don’t get to meet him at this signing but he’s on the cusp of becoming the greatest NFL QB of all time and has a lot of demands on his time.
If at first you don't succeed, fuck it up a second time.
Cool, bro

I’m about as big of a Michigan collector as there is and I’m passing on this. I was waiting on this signing to be announced but they’ve grossly outpriced the market. Even make it $150 (still steep but more consistent to a rookie his caliber and the fact that it’s a private event) and I guarantee overall revenue would far exceed what they’ll make at these rates. Disappointing to see. Plus his signature is pretty terrible. Literally “JJ”.

This type of thing is so easy to fake, I don't know why anyone would pay for it.

Sounds expensive, but when you're the QB of the national title winning team and you're about to potentially go top-10 in the NFL draft, you can command that kind of price.
Good for him.
Damn, if I was going to pay that much money to get something signed and at least want to be there to see them sign it.
I would LOVE to see Mikey signing somewhere in West Michigan. Before NIL it seemed like a lot more players would come this way to make a quick buck after graduation.
