Last auction: A ball, a bid, and a return
Last year, an interesting twist and turn occurred in the NFL. It was supposed to be the last NFL football ever thrown for a touchdown by Tom Brady, and Miami commercial real estate broker Ron Firman was so honored to own it that he bid an astounding $518,628 at auction. However, less than 24 hours after the auction ended, Brady decided that he wasn’t done playing after announcing the end of his 22-year NFL career just 40 days prior.
The auction house voided the sale through mutual agreement, but Ron Firman is still eager to bid again if Brady’s actual last ball ever comes up for auction. In the end, the ball was re-sold for just under $130,000.
