Lot of uproar about this signing with Tom Brady. Seems like a lot of people messed up... the folks putting on the event, Tom's reps, Tom himself.

People paid money and took time out of their days to go to this signing, and it's crazy how poorly it was run and how much the collectors seemed to have gotten screwed. Cards weren't signed. Tom ignored the pen color requests on items he did sign. And some of the items he signed were either not actually signed by him or he put zero care into it.

Surprising for someone like Tom who works so hard to protect his image.

I've seen some people say that the collectors' themselves should take some of the blame - No way in my book. You follow the rules the event organizer sets. It's up to them to deliver on the value they promised.

I wish Tom had the presence of mind to just not sign these items so the collectors could get their money back without such bad signatures on them. Would an authenticator even give these a passing grade?

I’m a Bucs fan, and Tom Brady’s arrival in Tampa coincided with the card boom, so I didn’t spend much money on his Bucs cards. But I sold my 2021 Prizm Jordan Love RC Orange Lazer, which is just a gorgeous card, and I took a percentage of those proceeds to grab this color-matching 2021 Orange Lazer Tom Brady, and this 2020 Origins Brady / 175. Love those colors!

$1.6k a piece for these on card unlicensed autos. Can't say I was successful!

Interesting take from Ken Goldin on what a lot of people are saying is the “meh” sale of the Brady Bowman superfractor. It went for $158k on auction with people noting that between the potential from bounties and private sales they were expecting it to go for “much more.”

At the end of the day, though, the dude who pulled this in a break turned around $200 into $158k - not a bad payday.
