Plus I frequently visit about 7 different thrift stores and 1 resale store. And I've learned their patterns (how often they get games, how much they price them at) and their various employees (which will haggle, which are jerks, etc). Today was just a good day. :P |

Not exactly gaming related (though Tom Brady is in many games), but I bought this at Goodwill for $20. There's no certificate of authenticity, but I examined it enough to be convinced it's most likely authentic. I looked at photos of other Brady autographs and it's a close match. It appears to be real ink (and not machine printed) because there's ink blots on the ends of the letters where the pen would stop, as well as other imperfections that only a real pen would produce. Also, there's an NFL hologram on the photo itself. Since it's just a generic 8X10 photo, my feeling is that these were distributed by the NFL at a Brady autograph signing session. I could send it in for certification, but that would cost around $75. As a huge Patriots fan, I'm convinced enough that it's real to display it as such and enjoy my great find (a typical Brady autograph is generally worth $80 - $100 on a basic photo). Unfortunately it was stored in a poor frame so there's some fading (I put it in the current frame). |
