Tom Brady, the NFL quarterback, recently reached his 600th touchdown pass during Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. The moment was a historic event in his National Football League career since he is the only player in the league’s history to make this many touchdown passes.
As per CoinTelegraph, after Tom Brady made a new history, there was a bit of confusion as he lost the ball that was thrown in the momentous touchdown. This happened when his teammate who received the touchdown pass, Mike Evans, handed the ball to his fan named Byron Kennedy to celebrate the score.
No one realized the significance of the ball at that moment, but when the team finally understood its great significance, the officials of the Buccaneers team approached Kennedy to negotiate. Naturally, Tom Brady wanted the ball as well, so he also stepped up to get the ball back.
At first, the fan appeared to have given up the ball in exchange for a promise of a simple meet and greet with Brady. Later, the superstar quarterback revealed that as gratitude for handing the ball quickly, he also offered 1 Bitcoin to the fan. At that time, the price of the said cryptocurrency was equivalent to $62,081.
“There were a lot of negotiations in order to get the ball back,” Brady said in an interview. “Byron realized he lost all of his leverage once he gave the ball away so I’m also giving him a Bitcoin. That is pretty cool, too. At the end of the day, I think he is still making out pretty.”
Goldin Auctions founder Ken Goldin said the ball could be worth from $500,000 to $900,000 now. The auction company specializes in sports memorabilia, so it can estimate the ball’s value.
Meanwhile, Rick Stroud, a Tampa Bay Times reporter, shared that Tom Brady’s team will also give the fan two signed team jerseys, Mike Evans game cleats, a helmet with Brady’s autograph, season tickets for the rest of the year until 2022, a jersey signed by the wide receiver, and $1,000 credit that he can use at the team’s merchandise store.
