Bears Fans Fuel Collectibles Boom
•
Chicago Bears fans are capitalizing on the teams winning streak, driving a surge in collectibles sales. Stores like Elite Sports Cards and Comics are nearly sold out, with Bears cards, autographs, jerseys, and gear flying off the shelves. The rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is particularly popular, with his jerseys selling for up to $350. Nationwide, Bears merchandise is topping sales charts, with a fifty percent increase from last season. Despite no player signings during the season, demand remains high, boosted by surprise stars like Kyle Monangai. The legendary 1985-1986 Super Bowl team still holds the top spot in collector demand, with experts suggesting Caleb Williams needs a few Super Bowl rings to challenge that legacy.
