Football from Tom Brady’s final career TD pass up for bid at Lelands

As soon as Tom Brady announced his retirement, you knew memorabilia from his final game would attract big interest on the sports collectible market.

Brady announced his retirement Feb. 1 after a record-breaking, 22-year career. Brady, who won a record seven Super Bowls and holds many NFL passing records, played his last game on Jan. 23 against the eventual Super Bowl champion LA Rams.

The ball from Brady’s final touchdown pass, which came in the NFC divisional playoff game, is now up for bid in Lelands 2022 Winter Classic Auction, which runs through March 12.

Tampa Bay receiver Mike Evans caught Brady’s final TD pass and, not knowing it would be Brady’s final score, tossed the ball into the crowd at Raymond James Stadium. The ball was caught by a 55-year-old fan from Central Florida, who consigned the ball to Lelands to be auctioned.

Last June, Lelands sold the ball from Brady’s first TD pass for $428,000.

Evans also caught Brady’s 600^th career TD pass last season. The right glove he was wearing when he caught the pass is also up for bid in the auction.

The auction also features another rare item connected to Brady and the Bucs — the undershirt receiver Antonio Brown threw into the stands during his infamous meltdown on Jan. 2 game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium. Brown was reportedly released in the middle of the game for refusing to go into the game, causing him to rip off his uniform and leave the field.
