Just moments ago UPS Express dropped off the certificates. It's official, my son and I are partial owners of the greatest football team and the greatest sports organization in the world.
I have the paperwork to prove it.

How do you know the date they arrive? Do you have to call the main office?
email said mine and the wife's will be here tomorrow!!! 
How cool is it to own part of the Green Bay Packers?
I mean, I'm still cooler than most of you, but the fact that some of you own stock like me, makes you closer to being as cool as I am than say, a Goalline..

So, they're sending an email telling when you can expect them? Or was that the confirmation email that you received after your purchase?

Ib thought about buying stock. Does that count?
"Hello, you have reached NJSIII, part owner of the Green Bay Packers. If you wish to talk about my football team, please leave your name and number. If you are a Bear fan, please don't call again. Have a great day."
I just changed my phone message to that.

What size frame do I need to buy???
Mine will be here Monday.
I see Jerruh wearing his Cool Owner ring. Zygi must be sew jealous.

Good question. The cert measures 8x12 on funky paper (kinda feels like a crisp $20 bill). Kinda an odd size for off a shelf frame. I figure I'll drop them off at a frame place and have it matted and done up all nice.
Some say it's a bad investment (which it is... throw rational thinking out the window and romance a bit... I'm not looking to retire on this)
I'm all in. Another $20-ish for framing? That is worth it's weight in (Green &) Gold - to me anyway.
Your mileage may vary
I'm just going to sit and smell mine for an hour... maybe 2...
THEN... I'm going to rub it between some Silver Haze and Blueberry, then tuck it away nicely.
I suppose I should bring my old share back out now and switch.
Oh well. Either way.
Ownage is good.

I received my email from UPS yesterday as well... it feels great to be a Co-Owner of the greatest franchise in sports history.

Compared too? Some other community organization, Girl scout cookies, church, DNR, political donation, one of the hundreds of phone scammers, Walmart, money spent on a trip to Illinois or Minnesota for any dum purpose? Which one gives more back?
I say ask not what your team can do for you.
And finally, think how much this drives the Zygi's, Jerruh's, and Snyderbrenner's of the world crazier. Are you sure you bought enough?

You can eat Girl Scout cookies. I don't think you can eat your Packer stock. Well, you could, but I doubt it would taste very good.
I could go for some Tagalongs right now:
Stephan, are they sending yours to Germany?
As far as framing, I'm waiting until they come out with the GBP Shareholders frames for the swhares I bought the kids. I can't believe they won't offer something like they did when I got mine. A little more expensive than what you paid Blair, but IMO, prettier, with the dark wood, shareholder logo and matting (if they make them the same as last time, that is)

Hauser,
not exactly. You need an american address to be eligible. I asked a colleague of mine who is an US resident if she could do this for me. And she did. (though she is a Colts fan
)
So, my name will appear on the certificate but with an american address.
It will be shipped to my colleagues parents in the USA and they will then send it to me.

Good for you Stefan. That's cool.

I wrote to the Packer Pro shop asking why they didn't offer some sort of official Packer cert frame hoping that maybe someone would think it would be a good idea to have in stock. I'd love to put some Packer camp pictures in and official Packer frame.
Got email notification today as well... Should be delivered on the 19th.
When did you place your order Pakrz? Just trying to figure out when I might get mine. Maybe not till after Christmas, but I ordered the afternoon of the first day, and I thought they said that they'd be here by Christmas if ordered by the 16th
I ordered mine late afternoon on the first day. I got them late afternoon the 15th via UPS Express. I never got an e-mail stating that they were on the wy, they just showed up. I live in Central MA if that matters.
Ordered mine the morning of the first day but haven't received them yet. With the large number of orders I'm sure it will take awhile to process them all. If you ordered online then you should receive an email with a tracking number when they ship according to the order site. Check the bottom of the site on the link for info.

In my 50 years, this is the first time I've witnessed this tapestry of words. Cave, I can only say that I'm glad its related to a Packer stock certificate and nothing else.

I ordered online at about 10 am on 12/6 and have not received anything yet although my cc was charged... Probably way busy.
Ordered mine on 12/6 about 3pm and got my UPS notification and tracking number yesterday for arrival on the 20th.

Why thank you Atticus!
Mine are scheduled for monday too, and I ordered evening of opening offering.
Gotta love being an owner!!
I still haven't heard anything but the credit card has been charged so I'm not going to worry too much about it.
I figure that because I've been an owner since 1997 they're letting mine wait until the end. Let all you new guys get yours first!!

Really?
You really want class-warfare between owners?
I guess you're slightly less important than those who bought in the 50's?
Shameful.
*edit I do know for a fact that as an owner, I am better than any Vikings fan.
Blair, I don't know if you were one of them, but there were a few on this board that gave us schit about buying a worthless piece of paper back then (just like there are a few doing the same now) and I think some of those same few from 1997 are now buying as they missed out then.
Mine was only $200!!!!!! we are now all proud owners.
I'll never be able to say I'm a season ticket holder, but I can say I'm an owner.
