Ever since Tom Brady retired from pro football, the fans have wanted a piece of history related to him. And what better history than the sand from the exact spot where he ended his career. According to ESPN’s Sports Center, a bottle of sand from the spot is up for sale on eBay for $90,100.
The NFL world just can’t believe the prices. Many fans came forward with a cheaper alternative for getting the same thing. Some also joked about how the spot will look after everyone gets the sand. A fan says Skip Bayless is the highest bidder.

The prices of the sand are higher than Brady’s draft stock at the start of his career. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB proved his worth by winning seven Super Bowl titles. The sand might not be able to do that. And the price is as surprising as the retirement news.
