For forty days, this was the most valuable football in the world, the one thrown by Tom Brady to record the final regular season touchdown of his peerless NFL career, the all-time (and quite possibly eternal) record. From the GOAT's February 1st Twitter post stating, he was "not going to make that competitive commitment anymore" to play professional football to his shocking reversal on March 13th, this ball appeared to be assured the same degree of immortality as the man who threw it, the ultimate symbol of gridiron excellence. Surely most collectors reading this text are well aware of the recent sale of the football Brady threw in the NFC Divisional round that followed, his last touchdown in NFL competition, for $518,000. A day later, Brady's "unretirement" threw a wrench into those works, although we still don't know if the sale was completed or not. Certainly there remains a very small chance that another change of heart, or, more likely, some unforeseen event, could keep Brady off the field in 2023, in which case that ball and this one will instantly return to the pinnacle of collecting desirability. This is the story of Janice Greene and how she got this touchdown ball from Tom Brady. Brought to you by http://HA.com To learn more, visit https://sports.ha.com/itm/football/20...
