Mac the Knife Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 But buying stock isn't like buying a cap at the pro shop. The issuers have many legal obligations, and so the process often involves many steps.Yeah - remember, these transactions must get NFL approval. The $25 extra you're paying? That's for a basic background check. They can deny your shareholder application if they find something too "out there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Did they take your SSN? I'd be surprised if it wasn't anything more than a cursory criminal background. And, of course, to weed out owners of other franchises. I'm a Bears fan but this is one of those super cool things about the Packers and I wish my team offered it.For those that are owners, what is the advantage to owning multiple shares as an individual. I get you'd have multiple votes but in reality does one person having 4 votes really mean anything in the scheme of things? And I understand a family having multiples so every member has them, I'm just talking about individuals, I believe someone on here said they were buying 4.The only benefit is having four votes.As far as the impact of multiple votes, there were 4.7 million shares (or votes) outstanding before this sale. This sale could push that over 5 million. Also consider that the stock split 1000-1 in advance of the 1997 sale. That means every person who bought one share in 1950 has 1000 now, even if they haven't bought another one. So 4 votes out of five million, with some people casting a thousand votes or more, isn't exactly able to influence anything. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

And, of course, to weed out owners of other franchises. Well, I do own the Kentucky Colonels in the all-time NBA draft. Hopefully, that won't be a problem. No, they just took credit card info. It was a lot like buying anything else on their website. You had to list the names you wanted on each share but other than that it was pretty routine.

Gothamite Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 No NFL teams in Kentucky mean you won't be conflicted out. You're good. I really like the design of the certificate, but they skip right from 1921 to 1950. I wish they had included more logos from the Curly Lambeau era, specifically this one: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Ah geez. I actually meant to type "now" instead of "not." I'm in your club too! The "awesome" was genuine. Excellent! Welcome to the club. (I was confused as hell by your post.) I'm really curious to see how "owning" the Packers will influence our "relationship" with our normal favorite NFL teams. I mean I've got more than a few bucks tied up in the Pack now. I gotta think that's going to change my feelings towards the Browns. C'mon, if the Packers win the Super Bowl, we can get rings. What other team can offer us that?

DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 When the Bills move I now have a backup team. And, of course, the chance to drop money I don't have on a gaudy ring I won't wear.

See Red Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Still a Broncos fan but when this whole Tim Tebow things stops working... I've got Aaron Rodgers as a backup plan. Although I still dislike the Packers for now... I am part of the club, though. And will strongly consider that Super Bowl ring purchase should the opportunity present itself.

As a general member of Packers Fan Nation, I would also like to welcome the newest members of that ever growing club as well. This is an exciting time to be a Packers fan.

Stick to other sports with your local book. Don't bet on the NFL, and especially don't ever bet on a Packer game. Odds are they'd never find out, but do you really want to be the guy who gets written up in some obscure newspaper for doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
