[QUOTE="sschind, post: 927439, member: 10247"] Its about time. There's a whole exactly. While I don't own stock currently and I don't plan on purchasing any in future offerings I do have several thousands of dollars worth of Packers glassware, pennants, die cast and a bunch of other cra...stuff adorning my walls and display cabinets. I would look at any stock certificate in the same way. There was a time when I wanted anything and everything that had a Packer logo on it. I had the Wheaties boxes, I had the ice cream pails and ice cream novelty boxes. I had the chips bags and the miller lite and coke cans and if I didn't have it I wanted it. I've changed and I am much more selective in the items I look for but again, I would place a stock certificate in that same category. There are some differences obviously. Some of my collectibles are worth more than when I purchased them (most are not unfortunately) so you could consider them an investment whereas the stock, legally, can not be sold to anyone else and not at a profit. On the other hand, as Guapo says, owning a share of stock does come with some perks. However, I doubt anyone bought stock in the past or will be buying it in the future just to say they can go to a meeting those without one can not attend. They are buying it for the same reason I would, or they are looking at it as a way to contribute to fan centric experiences (Titletown district or stadium upgrades for example). Of course there will always be those insufferable few who buy it just so they can, at every possible opportunity, say "I'm an owner" [/QUOTE]
