Should have ran out of the stadium and put it on Ebay.
Make Brady bid on it. Have one of your friends run up the auction.Comment -
The Tampa Bay Bucs fan who gave back Tom Brady's 600th career touchdown pass game ball missed a chance to cash in.
Sports memorabilia experts told Yahoo Sports the prized ball is worth as much as a fleet of luxury cars or even a new house.
The ball could fetch “minimum $500,000” at auction, Ken Goldin, founder and executive chairman of Goldin Auctions, said. Chris Ivy of Heritage Auctions echoed that valuation. Ezra Levine, CEO of the sports memorabilia investment platform Collectible declared the ball worth "easily $500,000-plus" and probably "closer to $750,000."Comment -
i would've told brady to buy it from me for 10 million... 5 from him and 5 from his ugly wife
then when they refuse... put up a video of me lighting a regular football on fire to put the pressure on
that fan was one dumb MFComment -
If Tom wants it back, he can get off his tail and ask for it himself... No need to dispatch an equipment manager to negotiate it. Even then, I wouldn't have given it back. It was a gift from Mike Evans and re-gifting is just rude.Comment -
people are so stupid
they give back stuff like this... he could've bought a house with the money, why give your most valuable possession away for free to a multi-millionaire?
might as well buy a new bentley and give that to brady as wellComment -
Someone needs to dox and cancel this person.Comment -
The guy is an idiot.Comment -
He caved to the peer pressure... The ball boy was probably like "Oh Tom actually wants that back... Mike didn't know it at the time, but it means a lot to Tom. He needs that back." Meanwhile all the Tampa fans are staring at him and he didn't want to look like a douche holding the football hostage so he relented. Plus he was sweet talked into giving it back in exchange for a signed jersey or something lame like that.
I'm not a fanboy, a signed jersey or season tickets in the press box is meaningless. I'm taking my ball and going home. If the quarterback wants it back, I'll send him the details of the auction. It's not like I stole it. Tom leads a pretty privileged life, no sympathy from me over a chunk of leather.Comment -
how do u know the guy he gave it to wasnt telling him to come over after the game and to negoiate and work things out. they were going back and forth for a minute so something like that could have happened unless they interviewed him afterwards me guessComment -
i feel like people are treating this like its a monumental baseball...there is a difference imoComment -
What's so great about the 600th TD? He already had the record, and since when is the number 600 so special? I don't get it TBHComment -

should of traded it for a hunter biden paintingComment -
Sucks. Happened so quickly the guy fukked up hardoComment -
Guy was under too much pressure
He had no choice
Somebody would of stole it too if he tried to keepComment -
Fan was front row and a die hard fan. He did the right thing. I commend him!! He was getting pressured also on the spot.
He may have got $100,000 tops for that unsigned pigskin if he held out. Hard to verify also once he leaves the game and goes home. Not the end of the world for someone that probably already has cash.
My take anyways. Probably kicking himself in the ass when getting home after the game and thinking about what he did though.

Brady has no care about fans so why this fan get over emotionalComment -
I guarantee you Brady breaks him off some cashComment -
He was in a tough spot in the home arena somebody would’ve beat them up and took the ball and gave it to Brady for nothingComment -
kid fukked up Coach
should of tucked it under his arm and just go jerome bettis wrecking ball
fuk whoever is in the way kids grandmas security fukk em
he would of had dudes climbing on his back like FunnyB in vegas don't get me wrongComment -
Should have told everyone around him to kiss his ass and "I'm keeping this ball" if Tom wants it he can call me tomorrow. Give the security guy his number then B-line it out of the stadium asap with the ball tucked under his shirt to make it look like he has a massive beer gut.
Next day ring ring - Hi Tom thanks for calling and yes I still have the ball. How much is it worth to you? Let's make a deal. Oh and I don't want your stinky signed jersey's I want cash damn it!!Comment -
Oh I'm not asking is it a big deal. It apparently was. I'm asking why is it a big deal.
It didn't break any records, and it isn't a traditionally special number for something like 100 or 1000, so you're just left with the ball used in TD pass number 600, as opposed to 599 or 601. Idiot.Comment -
Time and place = Weak moment. Considering that situation a lot of fans would have done the same...Comment -
All-time fleece
Makes Brock Landers look like a rookieComment -
That was the equivalent of a 4th quarter super bowl winning drive for that equipment managerComment -
He had no choice reallyComment -
Ball was worth 500k easily
McGwire 70th still worth 300k today ($3mm in 1998)
Bonds 756 $800k
Bonds 762 $300k
Hell, a random deflated AFC deflate gate ball sold for $50kComment -
Brady too cheap to give the guy moneyComment -
^^He missed out on 500K payday according to MINNY's ball worth calculations in the above post.
That's like losing a mega winning lotto ticket right out of your pocket on a windy day when walking down the street and when ready to try and cash it.
He could be suicidal today.
