A thought, and in no way does this change my mind that the high bidder should pay for this ball...
But what if he doesn't buy it, they offer it down to the next underbidder, and the next, and the next, until someone finally buys it and the consigner is good with it...
And then, Brady gets hurt in a preseason game and retires. No subsequent touchdowns thrown. Now, that original high bidder DOES want to honor that bid, and claims he is now entitled to get the ball because at the time the AH and consignor allowed him to withdraw that high bid it was not foreseeable to him that the ball may well be the Last Touchdown Ball??? So now he does get the ball and that willing underbidder has to give up the ball??
