The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

I sorta did but then I began to see the side of it where it's a cynical cash grab and I became slightly less attracted to the idea. While it would be a nice little thing to hang on the wall, I won't be spending my $250.

But I have a sneaking suspicion that someone(s) in my family will be getting me a share for Christmas...

But don't worry LD, if you've already gotten me one. Two shares are twice as good as one! :D

Actually it sounds like 2 shares is worth the same as one.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Having two would double the number of wall hangings in my home as compared to having only one.

I am curious to what extent this is "real" stock that represents "real" ownership of a corporation. The Packers are in fact a publicly held company (non profit) but somehow all the disclaimers seem to indicate that it's not stock at all. Not sure what these certificates actually mean.

It they were truly meaningless, all the other teams could offer exactly the same sort of fake stock. But none do. So I think in some way it's tied to the fact that the Packers are public, just not sure how. I know the SEC doesn't track these purchases.

Damn, really sorry to see Roethlisberger's injury, all you Steelers fans.
