Bradys Missing Super Bowl Jersey Recovered

[VikingFan2k2]

He could sell it (it was already estimated at $500,000, and the mystique attached to the jersey being missing would only serve to drive the price up higher), but since the thief was caught with so much Super Bowl memorabilia, it's perhaps more likely he just wanted the items for his personal collection.

I'd say that kind of takes away from it. Even if he kept it for himself, he couldn't show it to anyone for fear that he would be turned in. Or even if they wouldn't, great conversation. "Wow, a Superbowl MVP's jersey, where did you get that?" "I stole it from him while he went to talk to the media!"

He would have to LAUNDER it?

I mean, that's the case with stolen artifacts and paintings too. They can't be displayed publicly -- but that isn't stopping stolen antiquities/art collectors from paying millions for those items that they then keep in their private vault where only they can see it. Some people just like having the stuff, whether others can see it or not.

Makes sense. Someone stole an item valued at $500,000, crossed state lines, and left the US. Pretty big deal actually... Brady has made over $200M in salary not counting all his endorsements so I'm sure he doesn't care, but still..

Sounds like he has been doing this for years. Showed up to have Warner autograph the jersey he wore in a Super Bowl and Warner asked him how he got it. Also sounds like he was asking around a bit of how much at auction he could get for some of the pieces he had in his collection. Crazy situation but glad that is done with.
