This looks like a solid investment.

I actually wanted to give all my money to Coca Cola, but they just won't take it. This multi-million revenue machine seems like the 2nd best option to just give my money to so they can make a bigger profit.

Hard to believe, that someone can consider a Packers share as an investment.

I'd like to have the certificate, but I'm not spending (wasting?) $250 on such a thing. Perhaps if I was a little better off financially, but since that's not the case I'll pass.

I don't like the 200 share limit. Can't spend more than $50,000.

Some people will not be getting shares from me for Christmas.

Maybe we should start a collection for PackersHome.com to own a share. 😉
