Upgrading won't affect the sports or ribbons purchases at all. They are completely independant of the store other than you need the store to purchase them. But the ribbons table and sports columns are not touched by the store when you upgrade or even uninstall for that matter. You may need to rebuild the datastore when you are done to get them to show up in the store again.

The only way I see it being a problem is if you delete all of your estore files each time you upgrade. If that is the case just overwrite the files don't delete them.

I can edit one line of code in the ribbons and sports hack, and completely uninstall estore from my site and still have my ribbons and sports icons show in my postbit, that's how I know they don't need the store to run, just to purchase them.
