Would you follow through and pay? Brady's last TD

[Peter_Spaeth]

Incredible timing. He unretires literally the next day lol or not so lol.

I mean wow. Went from a $520k ball to what? 40k?

[GasHouseGang]

Not as bad as buying the McGwire HR ball, but . . .

[icurnmedic]

Technically mis-advertising I guess.
Sucks for the AH and seller.
Of course whoever bought may have so much $ it doesn’t matter. Maybe not.

[chalupacollects]

No, unless you can trade up for his real last TD ball...

[BobbyStrawberry]

I'd want to know whether or not it was deflated.

[Jewish-collector]

This is one of those times that you gotta say to the auction house, "Sometimes, I'm just not gonna pay"

[MINES_MINT]

That's wild. The title of the listing is technically still valid until Brady throws another touchdown pass, but what an unfortunate turn of events for the buyer, consigner and auction house.

Maybe not so unfortunate for the consigner, he/she's kind of in the catbird seat. As someone else mentioned, the auction winner technically entered into a binding contract to buy the football, and that ain't chump change, so they are obviously well off and don't really have any excuse to not pay. What could prove interesting is if the buyer is a big Leland's customer, and asks them to let him/her off the hook for the purchase. In this case, Leland's is working for the consigner, and is bound to try to collect the money for them. If Leland's doesn't want to lose this customer over this, they may be screwed, because I would think that if they decided to not go after the auction winner, the consigner may be able to come after them (Leeland's) instead of the auction winner. Guess it may come down to exactly what it says in the fine print of Leland's contracts/terms of agreement with both the consigner and auction winner. Who knows, Leland's may have contemplated something like this happening one day, and so they have language in their contracts/terms of agreement that can get them out of the middle of this. This should be interesting.

The timing of all this is very suspicious.

The auction ends, and then, just hours later, Brady un-retires.

It really makes one wonder if someone asked him to delay the announcement until after the auction, so it would go off without a hitch.

Wouldn't shock me if Brady found out about it and did it on purpose.

It’s being relisted in Leland’s upcoming auction.

Oh well.... the same ball only SOLD FOR $129,657.60 last nite even Lelands was trying to hyped up that ball in the past 3 months as the most discussed football in the history. I feel like this is the same case as "buy the card, not the holder" kind of thing.
