Michael Vick – Dog tattered trading cards, t-shirts, and more!

Some people see a problem and others see an opportunity and why not let out your outrage at the same time.

It appears that NFL trading cards of Michael Vick that were chewed on by dogs are selling on E-bay for more than his rookie cards.

This is most excellent!

Once Monte, her 6-year-old Weimaraner, and Roxie, her Great Dane puppy, were done worrying them, nearly two dozen $1-$10 cards were crumpled, crimped, chewed, torn and generally in a sorry state. Some even had corners missing.

As of Thursday evening, the highest bid on the lot of 22 cards had risen to $455 and more than 2,000 people had viewed the posting. Seventy-seven people already have bid on the auction, which ends Sunday. source

As good as that is, it does not stop there.

There is the popular T-shirt business devoted to Michael.

Steffen’s cards join a collection of newly released items on sale. T-shirts are being sold online with slogans that say “Ignorance Breeds Ignorance. Neuter Mike Vick,” and “ConVICKt” and others that show dogs urinating on footballs and jerseys.

A few fans also have released “Free Vick” shirts.

There is the dog toy business devoted to Michael.

The St. Paul Saints, a minor league baseball team known for campy promotions, gave out Vick chew toys Tuesday to the first 15,000 fans with some game proceeds going to the Humane Society. Fans got the St. Paul pig mascot with a No. 7 printed on the back and a tag around its neck with Vick’s picture.

And, of course, the improving donations to the Humane Society.

The Atlanta Humane Society also has reported former Vick fans mailing in jerseys — often accompanied by financial contributions and letters of outrage over the charges. Those former fans have suggested the Falcons jerseys become animal bedding or rags to help scrub up the messes that dogs leave behind. Other branches of the Humane Society have said they’ll take donated Vick items to resell on eBay

The moral of the story is don’t mess with my dog or you will go to jail and someone will make a buck!
