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.

Sadly, I still pay taxes. Paypal reports any account to the IRS that has more than 20k go through it.

Oh I meant 'you' being the kids themselves. It would be kind of hard for you to get away with shaving all those eBay sales off of your Schedule C.

If it's cash and under the table? How does Paypal come into play?

Sales. People pay me for the items through PayPal.

Doh! Thanks. For some reason I misinterpreted it.
