Paying $7200 to a multi millionaire is beyond my comprehension.
Probably went to a charity of his choice
@@jrad2bad284 Probably went to the event organizer and his manager
What I wanna know is what this guy does for a living? Like if I had 7k to throw away like that
Don’t you use Amazon? Microsoft? Nike? Underarmour? Etc….yeah, you are paying multimillionaires
Why when you can flip it and sell it to morons on the internet for 40,000
A counterfeiter would have charged far less and gave you a better quality autograph lol
because its not actually him lol
@@TheSkeletor612it is him brady just realized this guy is a dude with way too much money and is trying to make even more by flipping autographs, tom brady knew he paid that much not because he loved brady , but because he was trying to make a profit, so brady said oh yeah , watch this , it makes total sense, autographs are for kids and fans , not some loser to send a bunch of stuff to get signed just to sell it lster
OR just pay Gronk 😭

Sorry, but I feel ZERO sympathy for someone who paid 14k to get a sports ball player's autograph! 😂🤦♂️
I don’t get why people would pay that much for an autograph. I also don’t know why someone would charge that much either.
Agree 100%
You’re just mad you couldn’t afford it 😂😂😂😂
@@Hellcat71782 you can’t either.
@@AD-vf3ek I could. But I wouldn’t. 13 year pats & Celtics season ticket holder. I pay that per year for my tickets if not more.
It's probably not even him signing the stuff.
For 14 grand I'd expect a video of him signing the piece.
I think they said it was a live event, so they certainly saw him sign everything, I just think that Brady knew the deal that was going on; that (likely) every single person there was a reseller trying to make a killing on his signature
It’s why I also don’t feel bad when the Dodgers or Angels or Yankee’s pay some prospect a bajillion dollars and he ends up being mediocre at best… they rolled the dice and came up snake-eyes… same here
@@TheMulToyVerse The video would be proof he signed it. It doesn't matter if the seller watched him do it and as far as making a profit, at least the sellers had an item instead of a 14k signature.
@@dessertlocust Insightful.
A kiss, too.
A fool and his money….
Yes sir!
Lol…
Are soon departed
he did that on purpose...
sure did becase we didnt hear the whole story. they didnt pay to have that stuff signed. They brought it on their own and put him in a spot so he did what he did. Maybe people will sop juking him now because its been an issue, This isnt the first time these guys have done this.
Exactly I heard about this days ago and of course leave it to national news to leave out the fact that these people snuck this crap in to put him on the spot to sign this stuff, the only items he agreed to sign before hand was an 8x10 photo or a copy of his book
I actually help my friend get signed memorabilia here in Chicago once maybe twice outta the year if he needs help. This was done on purpose and rightfully so. At times people will shove 10-20 things In their face trying to make a quick buck and you can see the actor/celebrity frustrated because they know they aren’t true fans. I usually just got for 1 signed item and a picture with them. That’s usually good enough for me.
@@Lordabinflacko thank you
I was on a flight from Reno I believe to San Jose and by absolute chance was on the same flight as a number of WWE wrestlers… this was back in ‘01 I want to say
I had actually just bought my first wrestling figure the day before (Kane) and when I realized that I was sitting behind Ivory and a very exhausted Test, I could barely contain myself
After the flight attendant announced that it was Ivory’s b-day (surely a run by one of the others because how else would he have known) he gave her an entire master bag of airplane peanuts, which she almost immediately asked if the guy next to me and myself wanted any… he said no, I said sure and then she gave me the entire bag
With an organic interaction in the books, I meekly asked her if she’d be willing to sign my figure (it was in my carryon; didn’t want it to get crushed) and apologized that it wasn’t even ~her~ figure…
She laughed it off and said sure, then asked if I wanted anyone else’s signature. I said something like “that would be awesome, but I don’t want to be a bother” and she ended up passing it around to a bunch of them
I remember for sure that I got:
Ivory
Test
D-Von
Bob Holly
I wanna say Bubba Ray
I think Justin Credible
I don’t remember who else… I think the card backer is in a tote somewhere
It had nothing to do with its value, in fact I bet that the sheer number of autographs likely devalued it, especially since Kane wasn’t even on that flight 😅
Don’t care, it cemented that day in my mind and I sometimes wonder if it was a day so bizarre that even Ivory would remember me if I brought it up… that would be awesome if she did, but I’ll likely never know
Yeah, I opened it cause I still wanted the figure, but that card backer is special even if Test just scribed “TEST” in all caps
This is pathetic and embarrassing
If brady signed those he's an a hole.

That's what happens when you collect signatures for money instead of memories.
It’s such a disgusting practice. I’m sure Tom did it on purpose
Well I am sure the collectors go to the games too so they also have memories.
@@Mark-0O that's what I mean. The collectors go for memories. Not money.
@@TanyaQueen182 I think I had misread your post. I thought you were saying that people should go out and enjoy life rather than collect stuff.
@@Mark-0O oh no not at all. I'd be a hypocrite. I don't go out much lolol
That dude needs to take a long hard look at his life if that memorabilia convention was “the best moment” of his life.
It was the spokesperson for the event itself; of course they’re going to say that
“This was a letdown of an event and it’s really made me reconsider what I do for a living” is something that no spokesperson will ever say… at least not a gainfully employed spokesperson
You need to take a long hard look at your life if you're on RUclips judging other people for their life choices.
It's an unnamed spokesperson lol. Pretty sure it's his job to say that
Probably was happy to see fake fans and take there money I know it be funny
He’s a grown-up rich person version of the sci-fi nerd going to a comic con and wetting his pants seeing Boba Fett and R2D2.
Zero fks given for your tough times.
I'd say the first mistake was paying that much money regardless of what was being signed...
Eh…some people have money to spend on things they enjoy and sports autographs is big business.
The ability to fake memorabilia seems like an even bigger scandal. So much of it seems to depend on people's good faith.
They paid because they thought it was gonna get them a big return when they sold the items. Celebrities have admitted to changing their signatures so people could not profit by selling it. No doubt Brady did that so they could not make money off of him, which is what he should do. Nonetheless, that is the issue, they are mad that they cannot make big money like they thought they would. They do not care about the items, they are meaningless trinkets, they just wanted a big payday, and now they're mad that is not gonna happen. I bet when Brady signs for a kid, they get the real autograph, but a middle aged man trying to profit gets the throw away autograph. As sure as you're breathing Brady knew what he was doing.

wouldn't this event and payment come with authentication? like why would you even need to get it authenticated?
Yeah exactly, normally you would get a certification with it
A coa vs PSA is night and day
I was thinking the same exact thing.
He wants to sell them
I don't understand the allure of autographs in general
I rather have a pic
To me they mean more when I have met that individual, they come with a personalized message and are addressed to myself.
When I was a collector, my mindset was along the lines of “wow, (insert name)’s hands really touched this item, marked it, and now I own it”
It makes some people feel more connected to the ones they look up to. Bit of a weird concept
Fanatics has Brady on a contract, and he's not supposed to be signing unapproved items. This is what happens when big Corpo gets a hold of legends. This was probably the only way Brady could skirt his contract.....by not actually using his signature. LOL. What a joke big money has done to the fans/collectors.
Hit the nail on the head. It's become a joke, just like anything that main stream rich bullies get their hands on. You're right about the way he signs as well. I was lucky enough to get two magazines signed and it looks very much like the videos autos! I don't mind as much as these guys because I never paid thousands and then hoped to turn a profit! I actually cherish the magazines!
I forgot to mention, luckily some other guy had a silver marker because Tom says "can't do blue unless it's Brady blue, sorry, silver or nada" lol if the silver marker guy hadn't been there I guess I would have gotten 'nada'. Could have been a joke but he seemed serious.
@SkrvnHiptR77
It's because blue inks can be pressed onto other items. I'm assuming the "Brady blue" is a shade that has a unique shade so it dries quicker or can't be pressed onto other items
@@deadpool1092 thanks for the info. Didn't know that.
The fact that the authenticators can't authenticate a real signature proves that signatures are BS. How many times in history has real signatures passed off as forgeries and forgeries accepted as authentic.
Yeah it's dated method. We now have a finger print or semi dated way of collecting hair that now can be traced with dna. But that's sounds way too dystopian outside of fingerprint
My thoughts EXACTLY!
The "official " experts were WRONG, when their ENTIRE BUSINESS model is based on them being RIGHT. How are they still in business?
I agree, the whole autograph thing is completely asinine.
Although I did have a chance to get Hank Aarons autograph for $5. back in the 80s and I didn't do it (I hate waiting in line )
I regret that decision.
$100 says that guy doesn't know his kids' teachers names, but he has all of Tom Brady's stats memorized.
🎯
I wouldn't pay a penny over $6,000 for that scribble...
$100 take it or leave it.
Lol 😂
So you’re saying you would pay 6,000 but not 6,000.01 😅🤡💩
Surly if you dropped this much money on signatures, you at least got a receipt for some proof of authentication.
Phineas T. Barnum would've loved this guy.
As a card/mem collector myself I have ZERO sympathy for this man.
You buy this stuff to collect and its meaningful to you. But here he is solely having it signed to have it authenticated to RESELL or INVEST. He already has proof of it being signed but its not good enough for him because of resale concerns. Plus, at the end of the day the thousands of dollars paid is divided to greedy organizers, the lavish party event, and is going to Brady who is already well off. It is truly fools money, and going public makes him even more of a FOOL!
It’s not necessarily for him to resell & it might be meaningful to him if it actually looked like a Brady auto. It doesn’t matter if he witnessed Brady putting pen to item if he just scribbles something that doesn’t even resemble an auto. If I’m getting what resembles the scribble of an infant than I’d much rather have the memorabilia without said auto. Guys like Mickey Mantle & Michael Jordan have done way more signatures & they always sign their names properly, do it right or don’t do it at all
This is a hobby for him & he paid to get them signed, so what if he wants use it for resell?! Tom Brady charging a fortune (no big issues with that) to do to sign his name & he instead ruins the guys property. That’s pretty f’ed up of him!
Even if it looked better you wouldn't know it was "authentic". You didn't watch him sign it because you're using a shady signature factory to make money.
Well its still bradys signature… He did them like that so the items wouldnt just be resold for profit… Cause thats what most of the people tried to do… Get him to sign something so that it becomes more valuable. They dont care about the signature, They care about the resale value.
If they paid $7300 for it they can do what ever the heck they want. There is no clause that they keep it and cherish it forever. I can see if they are knocking people down to get to him at the airport so they can get his autograph and sell it on eBay. Those people are scummy. But if he paid $7300 I think he has a right to resell it if he wants. Brady got his money for doing it.
Unfortunately most of not all celebrities sign autographs like this.
There's a sucker born every minute lmao
“Best experience I’ve ever had in my life”, is wild.
Guys like Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle would never, take some pride in your auto. I want a beautiful recognizable auto not an unrecognizable scribble that doesn’t even look like a letter. What a joke do better Brady!
Who cares?
I've never in my wildest dreams imagined someone complaining that his favorite celebrity didn't autograph their name the way he wanted it. The most bizarre complaint I've ever heard of in my life
You didn't really listen to the video then. Authentication is pretty huge in the sports memorabilia world. If Brady has a signature everyone knows they will expect to see that signature. This man paid thousands of dollars. If he ever decides to sell his memorabilia he is going to have a hard time making his money back, all because Tom was too lazy to actually give him a complete signature. It has nothing to do with the reason you said and is actually a legitimate complaint, especially for the money he spent.
well if you didnt want scribbles then pay me $7,600 and I’ll autograph your shoes really nice for ya! I’ll take my time and not scribble
Not only can I do a Tom Brady scribble, I can do such scribbles as Babe Ruth, Abraham Lincoln, and Genghis Khan.
Why is this news?
Because sometimes it’s nice to have a remind of “well at least I’m not THAT stupid”
I predict in 40 or 50 years, those items with proper providence, will be among the most valuable Brady signed items in existence. Just get documentation. Make a website about it. Get collector magazines to write an article about it. Get Brady to say he signed those. Make it so everyone knows about those particular things and the unusual but ACTUAL Tom Brady signature. A collectible is something people want and is limited. Unless he starts signing like that every time, those are going to be worth a fortune.
😂😂😂😂
Playing the long game lol
I just left the very same comment before reading yours but I didn't think about making publicity about it, EXCELLENT IDEA, they should of got a picture of Brady with the items.
Whether or not you wanted the scribbles, he actively signed them himself, which means he fulfilled his end of the contract whether or not you like the way it looks is irrelevant
The most shocking part of this story is the wedding ring on that man’s finger.
That's definitely Gisele's signature
That auto is exactly how my old high school principle signed his name. His initials were BL and he basically drew a straight line with one squiggle to sign everything.
I felt so much peace when I left the collecting scene. It’s stressful to care about condition, limited releases, fighting crowds, all that. Happily a minimalist and content with what I have
paying 7000 and saying its the best experience of your life is the biggest joke even beyond the hilarity of the autos
Brady forgot to mention he only had three minutes to sign everything.
If youre willing to spend thousands on someone's autograph then you deserve whatever penmanship theyre giving you. Heck from what i learned with rare -worn collectibles is that signing them years after the fact may hurt their price anyway. These are just foolish collectors
The current situation regarding autographs is extremely discouraging. Decades ago athletes' and celebrities' signatures in general were neat and very legible. Penmanship was taught in schools and deemed a necessary skill. When did two indecipherable letters become an autograph? What good is an autograph if you honestly can't tell whose it is? This always baffles me. I have a handful of autographs of HOF'ers from all four major sports in the USA who were superstars in the 1950's, 60's and 70's. Each one is extremely neat and you can read every letter of both the first and last names easily. They are some of the most beautiful examples of penmanship you'll ever see from grown men, including one of the all-time beasts of the NFL. Maybe if people would stop all the greedy speculation and idol worship and not pay ridiculous amounts of money for scribbles especially from prospects who will probably never be HOF'ers or even have what will be considered very good to great careers then these athletes will start to take more pride in their signatures in the future. Honestly, you can see examples of their signatures (and I use this term very loosely) before you buy them so why would you want to waste your hard earned money for a signature that reflects little if any respect for the fan who wants it? They will continue to get away with this for as long as the paying public encourages it.
WRONG
I have a Steve Grogan autographed mini-helmet and you're correct,it's very neat and legible.
"stop idol worship" and then also you "I have autographs too". Lol.
Is the NFL beast Jim Brown? I feel like it's him for some reason.
The mental health and depression crisis in the USA is real. The ones with drug problems are visible but those with sports problems are not, unless they gamble or deal in memorabilia
I can’t believe Tom Brady would sign his balls like that! 🏈
His autograph is altered and worthless on non approved stuff. Almost all the celebrities that have an autograph contract do this because they get sick of telling fans they can’t sign the item. Fans don’t take time to do research and they get sick of telling hundreds of people they can’t sign that item that they just give up and use an altered signature. If fans would do the research or just listen to the venues then this wouldn’t happen but since they don’t it’s becoming more and more common.
If he didn't want to sign autographs why did he set up an event charging thousands to sign autographs? Your comment makes no sense.
Why do I feel happy to see those trash items get ruined even further?
Brady can easily make this right by just signing a few items and sending them to this man’s house. End of story. Brady would be Legend for it, too.
Not sure it’s that easy, those are rare items . . 1971 game program, game worn cleats. I think the damage is pretty high and signing something basic won’t undo it. To make it right he’d have to return the money and throw in some extra for the lost value of the items. I’ve always thought pretty highly of Tom’s character, it’s a shame he wouldn’t realize the importance of delivering a nice signature to people who paid thousands.
@@randywatson341 maybe if Tom like met up with him and took a photo with the memorabilia in the picture so he can get it authenticated easy would do.
Could resign it but itd look bad
He could self-authenticate the items via letter and photo so the authenticating company could slab the items.
He's already a legend.
Paying that much is ridiculous, especially when they don’t even bother to spell their name. Been collecting memorabilia since I was a kid, got Sparky Anderson and Alan Trammels autographs for free by leaning over the dugout and asking nicely. You can read them too, thought I was going to get yelled at by Sparky but he was much nicer than he looked.
Moral of the story dont buy crap. Buy real investments.
That is not even words. Lazy as heck
brady didn’t sign them himself.
Lol, aside from the few that actually care about autographs, they're worth nothing.
Remember when Prince chucked his name off and became that weird symbol? Lol.
I've been a Patriots fan since I was 6,I'm 54 now. I'd dig having Tom autograph something to put on my wall in my man cave but I'm not dishing out a ridiculous amount of money for it. About 25 years ago Steve Grogan autographed a mini Patriots helmet for me. I paid 30 bucks for it and that price included the helmet. Tens of thousands? C'mon dude.
He acts like Tom Brady broke into his house and vandalized it. You asked for the autograph.
One of the many reasons I quit watching sports. Year's ago... over paid crybabies
The fans?
if a place that checks the signatures doesn't accept a legit signature even tho there is video proof and hard evidence then that says more about a place that verifies then anything.
EXACTLY! No such thing as signature experts anymore, it's a monopoly made by contracts! Rejecting a legitimate signature is quite absurd. And tells me THEY are the ones responsible for the "limited" numbers. Just like the diamond market. Diamonds are as common as gravel yet are hoarded to drive price way up. Dirty business.
You paid for a signature and got a signature. If you didn’t want Tom Brady’s signature on a bunch of junk why did you pay so much for it?
I understand ridiculing this man for spending that much money on signatures, but I also feel for him. It’s ridiculous to spend that amount of money to get something signed and it can’t even pass authentication. He essentially paid an absurd amount of money to lower the value of his memorabilia. Terrible
Or basically your initials or “ stamp “ I’m a memorabilia collector with sports and the only time I see signatures like that are from rookies learning their script.
I’ve had the same similar situation with two NBA players
If you want a busy person to sign a bunch of stuff, expect it to be quickly done
Except, he agreed to sign a bunch of stuff and at a very HEFTY price tag. Have some pride in your work. If he gives them a product in return that has lesser value because he was too lazy to write his full signature then that's a problem.
TB did that on purpose. It was supposed to mean this is a moment and not your cash grab from your small investment. Enjoy it man, your idol touched your sh*t. lol
These 'collectors' got exactly what they paid for, a Tom Brady signature.
Literally no one feels sorry for this guy. Waaaaah.
He knew it was going up on eBay the moment he signed them athletes don’t care for those type of fans!
He price gouged them, and they paid, so he should do his part. After all, grown men pay and take time out of their days to watch others throw a ball around and chase each other. It’s pointless to me. Also, I acknowledge that it’s possible that age, and wear and tear on the body has caused his signature to change over time.
1) never meet your heroes
2) dont spend 14k on a scribble of any kind.
3) if he has the proof of origin its still worth just as much
Clearly care more about the resell value rather than having Brady sign it.
TB probably doesn't want anyone buying the memorabilia and hates signing autographs for anyone over the age of 12.
Anytime you get something autographed with the intent to sell it or have it authenticated, you have to make sure that you're paying for a certificate of authenticity as well. I thought that was just common knowledge within the community. Sounds like this guy doesn't know what he's doing.
Hilarious story. This collector clown now has a unique autograph.
Tom said nothing will be resold from me 🤣🤣
Whether it's for charity etc, whatever . If you have the nerve to charge someone $7,200 to write your name you can put some damn effort into it and give him something presentable. That is ridiculous.
"the best experience i've had in my life" -- jesus these spin doctors are too much lmao
Paying thousands to a cheater, who could have guessed.
You’re just mad you’re not him, also grammer is stupid I make more than you ( statistically I just make more than avg people so I’m assuming ) and you’re in Brady’s eyes and mine, a loser whose living a modest life 😂 I bet you’re content with just a decent loving family and 80k a year lol.

I guess Brady's divorce left him a bit hard up ... more than the collectors were ... feeling, after they saw the autos.
These guys paid thousands of dollars to have items autographed and then they have to go to a 3rd party afterwards to have them authenticated? Sounds kinda dumb.
You wasted money on something you thought you we’re gonna make money on and you lost 😢 everything’s a gamble,just get a real job
Imagine even PAYING a major league ball player *AT ALL* for his personal signature and getting back unrecognizable scribbles……could easily go to a local minor league game where players would be happy to sign for FREE!!
14 k is like 14$ to Brady
“Everybody has an idea of what Tom Bradys signature looks like” no brother only dudes obsessed with another man knows what his signature looks like 😂
That's what you get for being a collector, especially a baseball collector. That's really stupid, there's no money in that and I would never waste my time or money into anything like that. What of waste of money and time..
I'll always say that earlier autographs of any famous person are always better. I have 4 autographs from a music artist I like and his oldest signature, when there were less fans and he was less famous, is much more legible than the one I got from earlier this year. I've also noticed artists or entertainers that, when they do mass amounts of signatures, at some point start to become more shorthanded.
What this event should have done is what they do at some comic cons when they have signing sessions for mail in items, they have someone present at the event that certifies signatures if the customer pays extra. Certifications can happen in person if a official personnel of the authentication company is present when its being signed to verify it was done in person. Or it can be authenticated later by paying extra and sending directly to the company. You would think that such an event with a $3000 signature, they would have someone from like JSA to in person authenticate the signatures being they physically watch Tom Brady sign it.
I'd say, next time, this kind of signing event should hire someone from JSA or PSA to authenticate in person after the person has their items signed. Damn that sucks though. He paid 50k for all of his items to get signed and camt even have them in person authenticated.
I mean, he could probably sell them eventually without authentication with the proofs of the event especially if he was able to get photos of his stuff being signed and proof he was present at the event even if JSA or PSA doesnt authenticate it.
At an event like this too, paying so much money, you'd think its a limited event where Brady would be more thorough with his signature compared to like when John Cena signed over a thousand prints without even looking in a WWE reel at one point. Like... come on.
He’s got a more rare collection now. Items with a variation of Brady’s signature. Assuming he has proof he got them signed at the event, someone MIGHT want to invest a premium for for memoriabilia with a variation signature. Again-I am also assuming TB has not signed a bunch of stuff like this too. Could be wrong, but just a thought.
Paying that much to get an autograph is cringy as all hell
Honestly the only crime is a human paying another human thousands to sign a piece of trash...
When you pay that amount of money for something that no one wants ..you shud film the proceedings .
Lawsuit him for millions ..and flee to Calcutta.
You see adults running around major league stadiums with ball after ball and card after card trying to get autographs before and after games. They aren't collecters they are dealers.
Both parties should be embarrassed. Tom should be embarrassed for a lazy signature and the fans or collectors for spending half a salary on autographs. Yes, some people make very little money in a year and these buffoons spent half of that.
Wow, there are a bunch of jealous people on here. It says that the man is a “sports memorabilia collector”! It doesn’t say that he is a dealer! I own a few autographed pieces of recently graduated college athletes, that I stood in line for hours just weeks after having cancer surgery, to have the opportunity to get an autograph that luckily included a numbered hologram. I added them to my meager collection. I didn’t buy them to resell, but I definitely hope they increase in value. If the player is a bust, the value will drop, if he is a star, it will increase. They were favorite players of mine anyway.
Brady definitely was a star, and if he TAKES $3600 per autograph, he should take his time and sign the item correctly. If he doesn’t want the money, just refuse to sign the items. If he gets too tired to make $3600 for 5 seconds worth of work to sign his autograph correctly, then STOP taking the money. Unfortunately, the money charged is beyond the reach of most fans, so only the well-heeled can do it. For all you folks that have NO sympathy for this gentleman, I hope you don’t collect anything. Some people spend lots of their hard earned money on whatever they choose to collect, whether it’s matchbooks or barbed wire. It doesn’t matter! It’s enjoyable to them and it’s their money after all. I might not want to collect what they enjoy, but I will NEVER berate them for collecting it!
Like was said below, some folks like Peyton Manning do it the correct way…….others don’t!
100% agree with everything you stated and I hope you’re health is much better 🙏
lol
Most people just don't understand, same thing for expensive art pieces. I bought a piece local to me because of the history, paid about $250 for it years ago. Turns out it's worth more than $10,000 currently, yet it still sits in my office room.
@@neopolitan2076 It’s the guys hobby & his own money. Definitely not something I would care to spend money on but either way, what Brady did was pretty bad.
It’s what he deserves for giving anybody $3600 for a signature.
That comes with the territory of betting on collectibles
You never know if it will be worth anything until it actually sells

"A fool and his money will soon be parted". Great example of this. He knows who signed it but wants to sell it to make money that's why he got fudged on the signatures.
I think its hilarious. Stop buying autographs.
Everyone’s signature changes overtime. There’s some famous people out there that never sign the same once.
Agree. Brady played high intensity for years, and took many impacts to the head. I wouldn’t be surprised if his hand starts to cramp and shake after signing just a few items.
It increased the value if you have the proof just be quiet. It only devalued it if it was a personalized autograph
Rich man buys 14k autograph....Congratulations, you played yourself.
