In a matter of days, Half a Million has vanished. As per TMZ Sports, it might even be half of that; the media channel checked with an Auction expert. This has certainly put the buyer into a great dilemma. And they’ll come out of this probably scared to invest in sports memorabilia from an investment perspective. Sure, if they love the game and Tom Brady, and they are rich enough, it should just be another extravagant buy for them.

The buyer would have nothing to show for it except for a random TD ball from a playoff Tampa loss. The actual last TD ball by Tom Brady is yet to be thrown. The QB is coming back to football, and it is not at all surprising.

Whatever happens for the duration of the remainder of his career, his legacy is set in stone. Even the Washington Wizards’ years for Michael Jordan are ignored when talking about his career for the most part. Further, with the way Brady is still playing, it is difficult to see him downgrade so much.

Plus, Brady is a free agent magnet. He has already gotten Julio Jones to the Bucs. And Gronk Won’t go anywhere as well. Even though Boston fans are particularly unhappy with him right now. They feel he is annoying and milking out his career by this on-again-off-again status with football.

Still, players understand his importance in an offense and for the Super Bowl run. There aren’t going to be many QBs around who know how to go about that journey. And Brady is the number one name on anybody’s list. If the supporting cast around him can play with consistency and discipline, Brady’s wit and experience are very helpful in the biggest stages.
