A Massachusetts sports memorabilia collector, Glenn Gagnon, is disheartened after spending thousands of dollars to have his New England Patriots items signed by Tom Brady at a Miami conference. Gagnon claims that some of his most cherished possessions have been ruined due to what he describes as Brady’s careless autographs.
One of the items that Gagnon highlighted is a pair of TB Twelve shoes from a 2018 game, for which he spent $7,200 but were rejected by an authenticator because of the unrecognizable signature. Gagnon mentioned that he paid a total of over $14,000 to have these items signed by Brady, but now they cannot be authenticated, and as a result, no one wants them and he is unable to get his money back.
Gagnon’s frustration stems from the fact that he invested significant amounts of money into these items, only to find that the signatures are not up to the standards of authenticators, rendering the items practically worthless. This situation has left Gagnon feeling disappointed and at a loss as to what to do with his now unauthenticated memorabilia.
