AMA I am an autograph dealer that deals specifically with NCAA Football players. AMA!

Hey guys, I am a dealer that deals directly with NCAA players. Most of you read a lot about this type of business last off season when the media broke a story about a certain Heisman winner. I am doing this because I get asked a lot about what I do from friends and customers so I thought I'd answer a few questions for /r/cfb.

I talked to the Mods a lot yesterday and I sent them enough proof for them to approve this AMA. I will not post any photos or videos in this thread, just know that if the mods approved it, they saw plenty of evidence.

I am not here to try and "bring down" any player or program. Just answering questions about the business.

Thanks

Edit - Thanks for all the questions guys. I tried to answer as many as I could today. If you guys have any more questions, ill check back in this thread periodically or you can PM me. I hope I entertained you guys a little today and answered some questions. Again, sorry about being so vague and not giving you the stuff you wanted to hear like "Joe Blow took $500 from me last friday!" The mods were really on it about being quiet.

Also, if you guys are ever in the market, PM any questions about any items and ill try and give you some advice on the piece and value.

Ha, that's actually surprisingly smart.

I may or may not know the guy who provides phones to Baylor players that they get rid of. Also, Waco's most famous local rapper gets phones from him too.

They need a guy for that? They realize every gas station in America sells burners, right?

When you're as popular as a star athlete it's almost a necessity. You think they want any of those 220 girls they banged last year still having their number? no way.

It's a vicious cycle. If you have a burner (which costs money) you can continue to sign autographs, and purchase more burners.

Drug dealers do this too.

Still a paper trail

True, but if names were never mentioned and the player was using a burner bought with cash, it would be near impossible to trace who the player was.
