    They should have put up another Convey jersey.

    I've made a bid, but I suspect as usual that I will be outbid.

    That's why it's usually best to wait until the last few minutes.

    Is it me or are the jerseys they put up a little too expensive?

    Obviously not as every jersey has been bid on.

    They used to start at $300 until I convinced them to lower it a bit. I tried to tell them to start real low so they netted more money from the sale but they wouldn't budge from $250 even though I personally guaranteed not to let one go for less than that

    Also - the money goes to United for DC which is a 503 (b) - I am fairly sure that is the right # letter combo - so any contribution over and above the "fair price" of the jersey is tax deductible. Assume you pay $250, fair price is $80, tax deduction of $170. Tax deduction of say 1/3 and you get the government to pay $57 of the price which drops it below $200

    Hell Doug, we just figured you'd win the bidding war anyway, so what's the point?

    Well I have so many now it is hard to find one that I don't own.

    I am running out of players that I don't have:

    Nelsen
    Q
    Q2
    Villegas
    Prideaux
    Williams

    So - until one of these guys wins MOTM I am stuck on the sideline

    501(c)(3) is the lingo for a tax-exempt not-for-profit organization. Just FYI from one of the lawyers.

    I can't believe that I have a jersey that JH6 doesn't have! Haha! I can't believe it!? Perhaps this really is the 3rd horsemen of the apocalypse... ;)

    You have McKinley too? How much did you pay for it?? :D

    I'd bid, but I prefer to keep getting my jerseys at a slower yet much cheaper pace.

    Probably...the price I got mine for definitely helped though I must say.

    They're for charity, or else I'd totally agree.
