For a lifelong Chicago Bears fan I sure do end up getting a lot of cool Packers stuff.
It started with the Packers Cheesehead that Borden sent me prior to the Super Bowl. It was nine pounds of cheese that took two weeks to fully “process.”
Today, I am going to show you what the Green Bay Packers stock share and certificate package look like. And what you get when you buy it.
Watch this 15 sec UNBOXING vid if you’re waiting for your girl to get back from bathroom or stuck in traffic:
Green Bay Packers Inc. has been a publicly owned non-profit since August 18, 1923, when original articles of incorporation were filed with the Wisconsin Secretary of State.
Today, approximately 361,300 people are owners of the iconic franchise (holding approximately 5,009,400 shares).
The physical package itself consists of three things:
- A really cool folder lol. What makes it cool is the lithograph of Lambeau Field on the front:
- The actual Packers common stock certificate. It indicates how many shares you purchased for $300 and the unique identifying stock certificate number. And it is signed by President and CEO, Mark Murphy:
- A Packers Shareholder letter from Mark Murphy hisself. The letterhead by itself makes it worth it. “13-Time World Champions – Super Bowl Champions I, II, XXXI, XLV.”In the letter, Murphy talks about the history of the franchise and how your money will be spent:”Thank you for your recent purchase of stock in the Green Bay Packers. You can now say you are an NFL owner, and your ownership of the Packers is the ultimate in fan support.””Your ownership in the Packers will help the organization continue to enhance Lambeau Field for our fans on gameday and year round. This stock sale will help fund a project that includes new video boards and stadium concourse upgrades.”
The Green Bay Packers stock offering launched on Tuesday, Nov. 16. The money raised from the offering will go toward ongoing construction projects at Lambeau Field, including new video boards and concourse upgrades.
The Packers reported they sold 126,000 shares during the first week of sales.
