how is it that these marketing groups get all this game stuff? how does it work? do they pay the players? over the years, i've contacted teams to purchase game used items, but to no avail. then all of a sudden, i see the same stuff i wanted on ebay that someone else bought and the seller is a business and or marketing group? what's up with that? now, the item i could have bought i can't because the price has been jacked up beyond my means.
