The FantasySportGuru Draft Committee would like to welcome
you to the 2013 Fantasy Football Art Auction, a comprehensive look at the
fun facts, features, and most importantly, exhibits attached to this year’s
fantasy football landscape. And maybe, depending on how you feel about the
exhibits we show you, if you’re feeling particularly possessive of certain
exhibits, you could invest in them at the end of the tour, either through our
standard auction style or through the more classic “snake” style.
We’d like to first direct you to the wall of the Hall of
Fame of Fantasy Football gallery, Mr. Brees, Rodgers, Manning, and Brady. These
fine portraits depict men of an extraordinary nature, who have truly shaped the
entire fantasy football world and are easily Hall of Famers. Not only can you
see them in fine action shots throughout the museum, but their various accomplishments in long and storied careers are extolled in the displays. These Hall of Famers will garner Ooohs and Aaahs from admiring art enthusiasts for your collection, but they will come at a premium.
To the right of the Hall of Famers you’ll find another
prominent picture of one Cameron Newton, who recently have been recommended by
some of our patrons to be put in this gallery. He might carve out his one spot
one day, but for now we have in the same room, just not in the same Hall of
Fame row. If there was one of these we would recommend, I think you will get
the best value out of Tony Romo, placed this year on the back wall and not gathering much interest. The painting is just as
valuable in a display lineup, but may not have the same glitz and glamor of
some of the other ones. We assure you that it’ll serve almost the same purpose
(4000 yards, 35 TD’s as some of these others).
We would recommend that you ignore the Steven Jackson booth,
aka The Hall of Shattered Dreams and Broken Promises ; Many appreciate the grunt hard work and blunt brutality of Steven Jackson, but in terms of production it feels like every year it’s barely 1000 yards, single digit
touchdowns……Even moving it from its former museum to a new gallery is not doing it. Jackson also just turned 30, a
very dangerous age for a RB work.
The newly-arrived collections of Stevan Ridley and David
Wilson are generating quite a buzz, but Ridley doesn’t catch passes, and Wilson
hasn’t rushed for more than 400 yards in a season yet. Calm down on the hype; we
still have plenty of Maurice Jones-Drews available in stock.
I know your art classes often advocated ignoring golden
boots (kickers), and I’m not advocating for you to do so, but man Blair Walsh
is so tempting with his big leg and playing in a dome. Worth $1 in an auction, just for the
excitement of watching a long kick in the air.
We would be remiss to not direct you to the crown jewel of
our museum, the Mona Lisa, the Hope Necklace, if you will, Mr. Adrian Peterson.
Collected from the battlefield of the Metrodome, Mr. Peterson become a legend
of his day. Many of his disciples have sworn by his principles. Make sure you bid high for this collection,
but there are plenty of lesser-known pieces like the Rice, McCoy, Martin, and
Foster collections that go for less that might some expect to possibly eclipse
the Peterson, if Peterson is found to have any sort of defect. We’ll know for
sure by the end of the year.
Thank you for visiting the 2013 Fantasy Football Art Auction. We "bid" you farewell and encourage you to bid wisely.
Fantasize on,
Robert Yan
