70Chip Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Well, those of you who are Redskins Super Bowl completists had better go out and get another job. The NFL is producing an ultra-high end retrospective book on all 40 Super Bowls. The "special edition" will contain a page with the autograph of every living Super Bowl MVP. It goes for $40,000. For those on a budget, the regular edition can be had for the economy price of only $4,000. More details can be found here, but something tells me that Dan Snyder may be the only person actually buying this. (Oh, by the way. It comes with white gloves to handle the book. So you can leaf through it during future Super Bowls without getting buffalo wing or cheese sauce on it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippy1973 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 "Weighs approximately 88 pounds. Includes a pair of white cotton gloves to keep your purchase in the best shape."

Teller Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Over 400,000 words written by a selection of the finest sportswriters in the USA, according to the description. That's good. For 40 G's, you shouldn't have to read anything by Petey King or Dr. Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't personally, but I worked for a credit card company for a short time after I graduated from high school. During that time, I actually took a call from a woman who purchased a Jaguar on her credit card ($80,000 limit if I recall correctly) then paid it off the very next month to get the frequent flyer miles.
