Chewed Up Vick Card Sells for $7,400
 

 

Hostile responses have grown against Michael Vick since he apologized and pleaded guilty to federal dog fighting charge in Richmond, Va.

After shelling out $7,400 on Ebay for 22 gnawed Michael Vick football cards, Laura Norton-Dye, 40, of Cape Girardeau, challenged Vick to go a step further, and support local animal shelters. A former teacher, she outbid 30 others, and requested the money be donated to the Humane Society of Southeast Missouri and to Safe Harbor, a local animal sanctuary. 

Norton-Dye told AP writers that she had never even heard of Michael Vick until his indictment. “This is one way I thought I could make a difference."

The auction was created by Rochelle Steffen of Cape Girardeau. Steffen’s collection of Vick cards were crumpled, crimped, chewed, and torn by Monte, her 6-year-old Weimaraner, and Roxie, her Great Dane puppy. But this was no accident.

"When I started this I only expected to get $100 for a local shelter," Steffen told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "But it's received so much attention. It's for such a good cause that jumps every boundary."

The auction’s success created a frantic race to post other Vick paraphernalia;  both well-preserved rookie cards and torn-up cards, autographed jerseys and other collectibles, most also promising to donate the money to local animal shelter

A few former Vick fans have sent jerseys to The Atlanta Humane Society, often accompanied by financial contributions. Other branches of the Humane Society have offered to resell donated Vick items.

AP writers report that Vick was once considered by collectors as having some of the most-coveted memorabilia, but since his indictment the value of his autographs, cards and other collectibles have dipped dramatically. His 2001 SP Authentic rookie card, once valued at more than $1,000, is now being traded at $285 to $400.

 Vick’s sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 10.
