Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

Been in contact with the younger brother of Santana and Sinorice Moss. Going to make some figures for them and he is going to have both Santana and Sinorice sign some stuff for me for to sell. Was thinking some pictures and mini-helmets. Problem is Sinorice stuff won't sell as he hardly plays so only going to send 2 or 3 Giants mini's and sell them cheap. Is Santana popular enough that it would be worth it to send 5 or 6 Skins mini's? Figured I'd also send a couple of Miami mini-helmets to have them both sign. So long as my prices aren't too ridiculous, will I be able to sell Santana auto'd skins mini-helmets or will the cases collect dust in my closet?

I think at this point in his career, he isn't uber-popular, but it would be nice to try and sell some figures...

He's probably remains more popular among "the U" fans than Redskins fans though. That should be factored in as well.

He'll probably still be popular when he departs after the 2010 season. He's well buffered by a coaching staff that is really not well liked by the fanbase, and a quarterback who most still sympathize with, but don't really consider external factors for what has helped make and break him.

In short: when the team wins, Santana gets his due, but when the team loses, he gets largely forgotten by the fanbase.

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

Santana seems to disappear in some games this year, but he's still had a nice skins career. Overall, I'd say he's in the 2nd tier of Skins in popularity. I don't see his jersey nearly as much as Cooley & Portis.

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

I'd also get some mini footballs signed by JC and hang them 4 feet over the mini helmets would be about right.

I'm not going to lie, that had me rolling. At least he caught what, one this year and one lat year?

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

check out the completed listings on ebay and see what similar merch has sold for is my best advice

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

I guess you have to ask yourself how much are you going to sell these for? If you trying to sell them for about 50.00 or so, you might have them priced about right. I think that a mini costs around 15.00-25.00 for the helmet and you could probably move it autographed for about 45.00-50.00. I think that is what I have seen them at shows for anyway. Cool that he contacted you to make a figure. Really awesome. Hope that it works out and you show the pictures when you are done.

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

I consider myself to be a bigger Moss fan than most ... even at this point, I'm kind of ready to move on from him.... but for me personally, he's given me some of my favorite Redskins moments... I dont know what prices you're looking at, but I wouldnt pay anymore than like $40 bucks for one... (but I dont think I'd pay more than $40 for any player on the Skins' right now)... I'm just not that interested in purchasing autographs anymore.

The only thing I want Santana "Punch A Guy In The Helmet" Moss to sign is a contract with another team.

Bada bing! Tramp is back! I wonder how much the Raiders would give up for him? Him and Heyward-Bey would put a lot of speed on the field. I would like to see Moss in the slot a little bit with DT as the #1 just to see how that would work. Of course it would also be nice to get a pick for him and get Marko involved in this offense a little more.

Trade them before they start to fall off. That's the name of the game!

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

most worthless thread ever...are you seriously asking for advice on this?

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

Thanks fellas. Emailed the brother last night, asked him to pick up the mini's. Asked for 5 skins, 3 giants, and 5 Hurricanes for them both to sign. I am just going to send some 8x10 photos, have a photolab in north jersey that prints them for 1.29 each, and have a guy who can get me 2 santana jerseys for 40 each.

As for pricing, I was thinking 30-40 for Santana, and 15-20 for Sinorice, maybe 50-60 for both on the miami. If they provide the mini's it is worth it, if not then it is not. At least it gives me some room to drop the prices if needed.

rbanwhatevertherestofyourname, no I am not serious, I am joking but thanks for your useless input.

Didn't feel the need to start a new thread, but here are the two figures I made of Santana. Sending them to his brother later today.

Great work...but you're missing the one where we're down by more than 3 TDs and he's spinning the ball while the clock keeps ticking

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

Nice job Coggs! If we never wear those all burgundy jerseys again, it will be too soon! Really great story about Sinorice Moss contacting you. Let us know how it turns out.

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

Thanks guys. It wasn't Sinorice who contacted me, it was actually their youger brother. I agree on the burgundy jersey. When I think if the redskins, I think white jersey with burgundy pants. I was actually really surprised that he wanted both in the burgundy jersey and even more surprised he wanted one for Sinorice in the red. I HATE HATE HATE the red jersey and the red paint and ink is a pain in the a$$ to work with since it has a tendency to run a lot.

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

If you really want a likeness of Moss, it should be pouty and invisible.

Re: Question about Santana Moss's popularity...
 

I finally know why Moss's production is slipping. He has a large nail sticking out of his left foot.
