Imagine going from being the luckiest guy on this planet, to feeling like a doofus with an empty wallet.
Tom Brady took the world by storm over a month ago, when he announced he would be stepping away from the game of football for good and retiring.
Of course, there were rumors that he would unretire, and he even seemed unsure about it himself.
Needless to say, it wasn’t all that shocking when he announced that he would be coming back for another season and unretiring yesterday.
However, one unlucky fan thought he would have Brady’s last live-game memorabilia, when he bought his last touchdown pass football for a whopping $518,628. And here’s the kicker… he bought it the NIGHT BEFORE Brady announced the comeback.
OOF…

And then of course:
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm

I mean SHEESH, the man spent over half a mil, just to have a now “random Tom Brady football.”
It’s practically worthless now, and what’s he gonna say if he tries to re-sell it?
“This used to be Tom Brady’s last touchdown ball the first time he retired, so if you have a heart, please buy from me so I don’t feel like I have the worst luck on this planet.”
Tough scene.
Of course, Twitter did their thing and commented on the series of unfortunate events:
The ball Tom Brady brew for his last touchdown sold for $518,000 today. He just announced on social media that he’s coming back. Imagine being the guy who bought the ball. . .

A buyer bought Tom Brady’s last touchdown ball for $518,000 this morning…
But Brady just announced he’s coming back and will likely throw another 40 touchdowns.
The definition of down bad
