I know this is going to sound strange, but look at his fingers in that shot of him holding the trophy..... does he get manicures or what? Those hands look too perfect for someone that played basketball in the B1G for 4 years.
On a much more serious note..... what a scam. It sounds to me like you HAVE to pay $40 just to get in the door, correct? And that will get you one signed item. Any other items will be another $40.
I couldn't see myself telling a little kid that they have to give me $40 if they want me to sign their tennis shoes, but that's just me.
