Since 1990 star card company Upper Deck invented the signature star card and randomly inserted it into the card package, two major changes have taken place in the star card market:
First, players are crazier. In order to get the signature star card they want, they will spend a lot of money.
Second, stars have one more income channel, that is, signing a star card.
1990 UD company inserted 2500 signature cards of Reggie Jackson into its baseball products, which is regarded as the first signature star card in human history.
So how much can a football star earn by signing a star card?
According to "Football Leak", in 20 13, the star card giant panini signed a contract worth 47,000 pounds (about 400,000 yuan) with the Brazilian star Neymar, which required the Brazilian star to sign 600 products (including star cards and signature stickers).
This means that Neymar can earn 77 pounds (about 650 yuan RMB) by writing a name in a few seconds.
Although this income sounds terrible, his star signing income may be less than half that of a star like Mero:
In the same year that Neymar accepted this contract, Cristiano Ronaldo also accepted a contract with the same job content. The Portuguese star earned 6,543.8+0.65 million pounds (about 6,543.8+0.386 million yuan), and his average signature was 654.38+0.77 pounds (about 6,543.8+0.487 yuan).
