I agree. Even the way his retirement was leaked initially and everyone including him came out and said it was not true only to have him recant and then confirm he was retiring a few days later.
Not sure the value of a first TD ball is compared to that of a last TD ball but his first sold for 428K in 2021 by Leland's which I don't think suggests anyone held back in Saturday's auction.
