Also a pretty cool thing for the fan to give it up.

Some sports memorabilia expert interviewed said the ball would have been worth at least $500k minimum.
The fan gave it back before he got anything though.
Tom Brady said the fan gave away his leverage and should have kept it to get what he wanted, though I doubt Brady would have been happy had that happen.
Nice of Brady to take care of the fan though, especially when he did not have to since he already got the ball back.

It was nice of Brady. It was also nice of the fan. People can say that the world is going downhill, but there are examples that there's still decent behavior out there.

Of course, Brady would have instantly lost a lot of respect, had he not done something for the guy, especially after the team gave him some stuff. Not saying that's why he did it, just saying Brady's a jerk.

Odd situation because Evans gave the ball away without realizing what he was doing.
As you know, Sport memorabilia folks radically exaggerate valuable at times.
Maybe it would fetch that, maybe 1/10th of that.
That guy got a present value, 61k bitcoin, and many many thousands of dollars of other valuables, so he's pretty good too!

61k, but he got way more than that in other stuff too.
