Have to remember, that $40k Brady had a lot of things going for it:

* 2011 was a Super Bowl year for the Pats
* 2011 jerseys had the Myra Kraft patch
* if Brady won that SB, he would have tied Montana (Pats were favored)
* that jersey was in the Hunt SB auction

Given those things, the price got substantially inflated. I have to wonder, if that auction had ended a week AFTER the SB, what would it have sold for? If that jersey went to auction again tomorrow, I'd bet it sells in the $15k range.

Then again, his matched 2009 white AFL jersey just closed for $17k, which is a STEAL, and was worn for one game. It's the only white AFL Brady in existence...

Summary: who knows!!
