Tom Brady announces return from very short retirement to play again for Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With this more, the sale of his “final” touchdown ball has been nullified by Lelands Auctions.
The auction house said last week that Tom Brady’s return from retirement effectively voided the final touchdown pass since he will be playing again and likely to achieve the same feat at some point. The touchdowns that he will make for playing again will become his real “final” touchdown this the sale has been voided.
According to Fox Business, one fan already paid $518,000 last month for Tom Brady’s supposed final touchdown ball. It was considered his final career touchdown pass but not anymore due to his decision to return to the field.
Now, since the football is no longer Tom Brady’s final touchdown pass, Lelands said that the buyer and other parties involved in the sale agreed to void the sale. The negotiations took place after the 44-year-old American football quarterback came out of retirement to play another season with his team in the National Football League.
"Following Tom Brady’s unretirement, and after discussions with both the buyer and consignor, we have mutually agreed to void the sale of the football," Lelands Auction said in a statement. "The ball has not been returned to the consignor and the plan now is for Lelands to sell it privately as per the seller’s wishes."
There were reports that the ball had already lost most of its value, but the auction house said that many parties have expressed interest in buying the ball. The ball was Brady’s 55-yard pass to Mike Evans in a game against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional round game. Following the game, the player announced his retirement on Feb. 1.
In any case, because of the odd nature of Brady's decision to come out of retirement just 40 days after his announcement earlier this year and less than 24 hours after the auction ended, the sale agreement was simply voided, ESPN reported.
"We wanted to do the right thing here,” Lelands’ president and partner, Mike Heffner, said. "It is the most unique situation that we will probably ever encounter in our lifetimes -- at least when it comes to sports memorabilia. We're still not to the end of the book yet; we've written a chapter."
