Considering how many people love Tom Brady and think he’s the greatest guy ever, this news can’t be pleasing to his fans. Don’t get me wrong, he seems like a nice guy and a stand up kind of gentlemen, but does he really need any more money? According to TMZ:
Tom Brady has committed to a private autograph session for hardcore collectors. But if you want in, you gotta have serious cash. TMZ spoke with the Tristar sports memorabilia company which confirmed Brady is on board for a session in March. The company has done similar signings with Brady in the past.
Basically, you tell the company what you want signed and TB12 will sign it. Here’s the menu:
- Footballs — $1,000 each
- Autographed photo — $850
- Patriots mini-helmet — $900
- Tom Brady “game day” style jersey — $1,200
- Want him to add the words “5X SB CHAMP”? … that’ll be an extra $400.
- He’ll also add a 20 character personalization for an additional $500.
Are these footballs by any chance lined with gold? I can think of 1000 things I’d spend $1000 on way more than a Brady signed football. However, one has to understand that a Tom Brady signature will be worth far more than that once he’s retired. Technically this is a win for everyone but I was kind of hoping to hear a story about Brady visiting a hospital and giving out autographs for free.
Eh, maybe you can’t blame Tommy Terrific. It’s really not him that initiated this. Tristar is really the one who is trying to profit. Though I would like to see Brady announce the proceeds on his end are going to charity.
