So the "kid' has to pay taxes on all his valuable gifts in exchange for the understood valuable ball. So,that means the same tax man will visit Derek for the ball he received as a gift.

Mr. Swoboda4

I am new to the forum...I see you share my love of the Met warmup jackets with names...what is the best way to trade thoughts with you on those? I actually own one that you asked about awhile back:

Actually, isn't gift tax paid by the person who GIVES the gift? The kid gets screwed again!

Here is what should happen IMO:

Jeter pays $100K...the NY Yankess pay $50K...Ford pays $50K...Steiner pays $25K...Modells pays $25K. That's $250K for the kid, Derek owns the ball. The kid pays tax on it, but that's life...he'll pocket a good amount of money and can continue his endorsement deals.
