The Vanishing Vick
The allegations against Michael Vick aren’t just forcing him to miss out on football, but his name is being erased from all products baring his name. Nike suspended their contract (no pay) with Vick and Reebok stopped selling Vick jerseys.
Upper Deck also made an announcement that they were not going to include Vick cards in any future football card sets, and that they were stopping the sale of any Vick merchandise on their website, namely autographed memorabilia.
I wonder if any of this will actually put a premium on Vick products. He still has fans out there, and there are still those that will not condemn anyone until due process has taken place. Any new Vick product that gets pulled will be available in very limited supply, at least for now. Any possible demand could create an interesting market.
