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

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

[@chrisgullett4332]

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.

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.

[@andrewg5672]

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!

[@ericb4498]

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

[@lovesgucci1]

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.

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.

[@CanadiansInCarsGettingCocky]

If your famous you should have an autograph that is clean and readable

[@dustercat21]

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.

Paying that much to get an autograph is cringy as all hell

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.

Hey Black people they talk about you wasting your money on gold and nice cars & clothes…These fools are paying thousands of dollars for somebody signature. That means nothing on some ugly sneakers in a paper card etc.

[@JonnyQest666]

Autographs enhance the price. Cars, Chains depreciate once off the sales floor.

[@justinforgette11]

Get over it. He gambled and lost. He thought he could spend $15k and make a million dollars reselling it. Brady knew this when he saw the dollar signs in the man's eyes, which is exactly why he signed it that way. He's not going to sign someone's entire collection so that they can turn massive profits. It also waters down the value of balls, jerseys, etc that he signs for kids at children's hospitals, games, or charities. THAT memorabilia that has actual sentimental value. That old man gets no pity from me.

[@pearljamstar2900]

He wasn't happy with the auto, yet continued to get everything else signed?

[@jaredwhite489]

Wipe it off and send it back to him to re sign. If he doesn’t, sue him

[@fantasticvoyage262]

That won't make a difference. He'll just sign them the same way.

[@Demonwolf666-i4r]

You can't ask for re sign them when the deeds already done,.he already did what he ask, which is sign those memorabilia. The contract never stated that you have to sign it certain way so he could flip it for more money,.so by contract law, transaction already finished and he cannot sue him. Think about it, if you go to a restaurant and people there serve you foods and you don't like it, can you ask for your money back? No,.whether you like the foods or not, it's your problem not restaurant's problem. 😅

He literally ditched you, because his wife wanted the Miami spotlight. You get what you get.

[@brianmartin414]

"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.

[@ForageGardener]

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

[@TPM1424]

If time is signing an autograph into some kid walking out of the locker room that's a different story. Paying for it should look a hell of a lot better

[@theaquariancontrarian3316]

Moral of the story dont buy crap. Buy real investments.

[@philmar8538]

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

[@Bostnfn]

This is such a misleading piece. This was not an autograph event, it was a business event with a boat cruise, a 2+ hour talk, dinner served. Brady had agreed in contract to sign his book and 8x10 photos. Some middleman led individuals like in this video to believe that it was a signing event. Brady never agreed to this. I would not blame Tom Brady in this - he did not sign up to sign autographs on huge memorabilia that will heap huge profits for the people who had them signed.

[@lovesgucci1]

Then Brady could’ve easily refused the money & not sign any of their items!

[@fearthejuggalo3722]

​@lovesgucci1 your missing the point, the price was for tickets to the event, it was never for the attendees to get their personal stuff signed.

[@lovesgucci1]

@@fearthejuggalo3722 That’s besides the point. Brady could’ve refused to sign but instead took their money. I don’t care what the event was for because Brady still took the money.

[@fearthejuggalo3722]

@@lovesgucci1 the money was to buy tickets to the event from a promoter. Nowhere did it say he would sign personal items with purchased ticket. These "collectors" took it upon themselves to bring this stuff for him to sign.

[@lovesgucci1]

@@fearthejuggalo3722 Again, Brady didn’t have to sign anything! Instead, he took their money & scribbled on their items. As soon as Brady took that money, it is on him!

[@fantasticvoyage262]

I'm glad I stop collecting autographs. These athletes sign so much stuff, it's only a matter of time before their signature is shortened. And their merchandise becomes devalued.

[@FinVince]

Brady was too busy to pay attention to detailed, his eyes were closed kissing his son

Stupid comment

[@patrickscopas9133]

I think its hilarious. Stop buying autographs.

Good job Tom! How about having a bit of integrity. Jack*ss.

[@RestlessAmbitions]

It's funny because now they are notable collectables for having hilariously poorly drawn authentic autographs.

[@nostankplumbing]

Take it as an indication that it's time to grow up. Worshiping other men at your age is is total cringe.

[@MatecaCorp]

Clearly he just bought it for resale. Collectors don’t do stuff like that.

Dude signs millions of things… can’t really blame him for trying to get it over with

That's what you get for wasting money on trash instead of helping animals or something. Besides what kind of man wants another man's name anywhere around his house or anything like that I've never understood that it's kind of weird when men collect stuff of other men.

[@landonp629]

Anyone who pays some random guy $7,200 to scribble on an item they own deserves to be ripped off.

[@WetMagic]

I love sports, but I’ll never understand the obsession over the players to the point of wanting their signature. Why? You don’t need it just watch the game like everyone else and save your money.

just a hobby , some like stamps , some like posters , some like Legos

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.

@@MoneyManHolmesnot always true , Bruce Lee's sig pretty much looked the same until death (50s-70s)
