Bottom Falls Out Of Vick Jersey Market

Psst, wanna buy a Michael Vick jersey cheap, real cheap?

Then check eBay and have your credit card ready.

One day after the announcement that the Falcons quarterback will plead guilty to dogfighting charges, the bottom has fallen out of the market for his jersey.

A search for his Falcons jersey on the retail web site turned up over 700 offerings. Most of them selling for under $10, some for as low as one cent. And most going unsold.

Go through the pages and pages of listings and you'll see that most have zero bids.

Reebok, the official uniform supplier of the NFL, stopped selling Vick's replica jersey at retail stores and through its Web site.

Nike halted sales of Vick-related shoes and other products at its retail stores.

On Tuesday morning the Falcons were still offering Vick jerseys on their web site.

An authentic jersey with Vick's number 7 and his name sewn on the back was selling for $249.99 on atlantafalcons.com.

The site also offered a Vick replica jersey for $74.99.

By Tuesday afternoon the site removed the Vick jerseys.

The team's site still lists Vick on the team's active roster.
