I would sue.
Interesting question.
anyone who pays $500k+ for a football is an idiot.
He has an asterisk. He has a most unique souvenir.
Might even be Criminal Fraud!!
It’s the last until Brady throws another. It’s almost a given, sure. Almost.
Like Jim Palmer trying for a comeback after he was elected to the baseball HOF
Could be worth even more because its the last football he threw before his first retirement, it’s original. The second retirement football not so much maybe? Am I wrong?
So if you buy a stock today and the company legitimately files for bankruptcy tomorrow, do you think that you are entitled to a do over?
No sympathy. The buyer was speculating on the value.
A fool and his money...
Someone said Gas prices are so high he had to go back to work.
Thesaurus desiderabilis, et oleum in habitaculo justi : et imprudens homo dissipabit illud.- There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it. Proverbs 21:20.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Are we sure yet it won’t actually end up remaining the last td ball for Brady? He might have a bad season...
Yep, let the buyer beware.
If you pay an exorbitant price for something don’t be surprised if you wind up losing money.
No sympathy. The buyer was speculating on the value.

And eventually looking for a greater fool to buy it.
If they put out a special stock offer the day before declaring bankruptcy, I’d say that would be fraud of some sort.
Depends how the ball was marketed in the auction. If it was marketed as the ball from the last touchdown in Brady's career the buyer has a legitimate case. If it was marketed as the ball from the last touchdown before Brady retired, it might be more questionable. As the article says, though, the reputation of the auctioneer is on the line. This is a high profile matter so it's going to want to keep the buyer happy.
You pays your monies you takes your chances.
