How is it creepy? Sports teams and celebrities have been doing things like this for a long long time. Fans will fight tooth and nail for something that has been used by said celeb, since it increases its supposed value.

Its pretty darn normal.

It is weird to me! I wouldn't want something that someone else, a complete stranger mind you, wore. I don't care if it is a shirt, a hoodie or even a hat. That grosses me out. lol

So that means that second hand/thrift shopping is weird as well then? Or hand me downs?

Nooo I meant that the people who will pay a HUGE amount of money to have clothing someone wore and then, without washing it, they wear it. That is what creeps me out. lol

People don't wear collectors items. Because them wearing them themselves devalues them. They buy them because they are in a "mint condition" (Like when the original wearer wore it). Thus them using it would be devaluing it since you could risk wear and tare. Most probably just store them in a closet or if its a jersey put it on the wall to say "Look at this, Tim Tebow's jersey" to friends.

I still don't understand taking something and adding value to it because a person who is well known wore it. To me, that is insane. lol I don't even understand the whole autograph thing. Like paying for signed objects. I would rather have a picture with a wrestler then a signed/worn shirt. I know I am likely going to be viewed weird for that... But I think you people are weird! WEIRD! :angry:

:haha: jk <3 u all

Same. Never understood celebrity worship at all. Well, I understand looking up to someone (who may be a celebrity) or finding them interesting, etc. But I don't get the whole "worship" bullshit ... "I MUST GET IN LINE AND FANGIRL WOOOOO" "SIGN MY EAR!!!!" "MUST BUY HIS USED CONDOMS!!!"
