The written description says it’s Brady’s final career touchdown. This is currently a true statement. Brady could change his mind before the season starts and re-retire. Maybe a bus hits Brady while he is crossing the street. The description was accurate based on all available information, and it technically still is Brady final career TD.
Remember when Jim Palmer was coming out of retirement (as a HoF) until he decided to stay retired? The buyer also assumed the risk that Brady would stay retired. The buyer is not an innocent rube in the woods. There was always a chance Brady came back. Heck, maybe this exact risk is why the ball went for $500k and not $750k or $1M.
A person with $500k to spend on a football is likely an educated and sophisticated buyer. He/she got exactly what he/she bargained for and knew the risks - that Brady could un-retire - going into the auction. Assumption of the risk.
