Jalen Hurts charging $400 an auto

[Moss84istheGOAT]

I see Hurts is signing at a show next weekend and looks to be 400 an auto and an extra 150 for an inscription. I mean no disrespect, just curious if philly fans think this ridiculous or normal. I personally think its absurd.

[MasonAsher]

I don't go out to signings but I can't think of a single person I'd pay $400 to sign something as a current player.

[boxbuster7]

you can buy a hurts rc auto for like $200

[hermanotarjeta]

If he lost the Super Bowl, would he be like a $40 auto?

[PuddleMonkey]

On the bright side anyone dumb enough to pay this won't have to wait in line long.

[KingRybo]

All athletes get an appearance fee to show up. The price that you pay is whoever paid them to show ups fee. Foles was $299 last time he signed, and his line was ridiculous.

Jalen is no Big Stick Nick.

It's not Hurts charging $400

If you want to know who's going to pay this, I leave this info for you

According to federal data, 52% of adults in Philadelphia are functionally illiterate, which means they have difficulty reading and writing. This can impact their ability to: Fill out job applications, Apply for resources, and Help their children become strong readers.
Literacy statistics for Philadelphia:
In 2019, 67.5% of 3rd graders in the School District of Philadelphia scored below proficiency on literacy tests.
17.4% of adult Philadelphians do not have a high school diploma.
67% of Philadelphia adults are low-literate.

This differential is becoming bigger and bigger it seems. I totally get you are paying for the experience of "meeting" them. And what you signed is 100% real. However, it is hard to justify especially if you aren't getting something unique signed.

I will type this slowly and with as many monosyllabic words so maybe you can understand.....HURTS is not charging that. He is being paid by whomever is running the signing. THEY are charging that

[jmarascojr]

Josh Allen was "asking" like 299 or something crazy after his rookie season and had a line out the door in Buffalo...

And that was before he did anything semi successful team wise and the MVP...

But to the statement above, yes, it is the show that is charging that, not the athlete.

The athlete's agent negotiates a time frame or a number of autos and a total fee, the show decides how much each auto has to be to make their money back and then some...

[ThunderingHerd]

Well Fanatics is bringing him in, they brought Nick Foles in not too long ago and he was like $299. It's the Fanatics price, once you see their logo next to the athlete picture, just know you are going to pay crazy $$. Even in 2018, you had to pay like $30-$40 for Najee Goode, strike while the iron is hot. How many Super Bowl helmets and Super Bowl footballs will be at that show, Hurts could be the biggest name, although I haven't seen if Barkley is going.

Makes no sense because they have no idea how many people will pay for an auto

[slyguy]

If Jalen hurts is 400 then mahomes is 4k minimum?

[7sinVegas7]

Yo! Let the man make his bread.

Damn…

[majestik101]

I'd rather spend that $400 towards eggs

[Jaysabz]

Let's not make this a bash Hurts thread - he signed a deal with Fanatics. He isn't asking a kid who walks up to him on the street to pull out four Benjamins to autograph his jersey.

Most people who go to these events either get items autographed to flip, or are adult collectors who have disposable income.

If you're going to argue that events like these are designed for children, that's certainly not the case. I know first-hand that the Eagles organization, and Jalen Hurts, donate TONS for signed memorabilia to numerous charities in and around Philadelphia for their fund raisers, etc.

These athletes have business managers, the business managers sign the best autograph deal for their clients, and the clients (here, Jalen Hurts) shows up at the event per the instructions of his business manager, and signs or doesn't sign certain items based on the contract they have with Fanatics.

Fanatics is particularly strict about the items being officially licensed by the NFL, and charges via a tiered system - signing a flat 8x10 is cheaper than an 11x17. Why? Don't know.

I think part of it that Fanatics wants to drive private autograph dealers out of the market, and have their website be the place to get autographed memorabilia of your favorite athletes.

Wrong (as always).

Now, when you say "everyone" you mean just you, right?

Why do you act as if your an elected official representing others in this World?

Did you speak to that black dog again before typing?

true, but the price set by the dealer/promotor is going to track pretty closely based on his appearance fee charged(and I'm not bashing hurts in the least; take what you can get). That's simply because the promotor is going to charge a price that gets the most total $, and hurts is going to charge a price that gets him the most(so they're going to naturally track)

If Hurts was concerned about how the $400 per looks, he could just accept a lower appearance fee and then stipulate as part of accepting that fee the per signature fee be capped. I wouldn't do that if I were hurts(and I wouldn't have a problem with how it looks), but he has the ability to do so.

[Fenway55]

Yes $400 is a bit pricey but people will line up.

So while Jalen Hurts is hot right now coming off of the Super Bowl victory, and his unframed Super-Bowl related 8x10s (him playing in Super Bowl LIX, him holding the Lombardi Trophy) are $439.99, here's the pricing on plain 8x10s of other Fanatics exclusive QBs, active and retired:

Unframed 8x10:
Brady: $1,599.99
Burrow: $487.49
J. Daniels: $439.99 (Same as Super Bowl LIX MVP Hurts)
Goff: $219.99
E. Manning: $149.99
P. Manning: $224.99
Montana: $224.99
Purdy: $239.99
A. Rodgers: $412.49
Stafford: $149.99
Stroud: $239.99
C. Williams: $217.99 (USC Uniform)
B. Young: $142.49

I'm sure like stock market, prices for active players will increase as they perform better, decrease as they perform worse - and most of these prices are marked down - I guess they're clearing out their 2024-25 products to make room for others. And again, these are just plain Jane 8x10s. They have autographed helmets, footballs, jerseys, framed pictures, you name it. On top of a card monopoly, Fanatics are attempting to be a memorabilia monopoly as well.
