Tom Brady Super Bowl jersey stolen??

Re: Tom Brady Super Bowl jersey stolen??

Well lets go about this a different way; does anyone know if Patriots Super Bowl 51 jerseys were going to be sold, or were going to be up for auction soon thereafter? This is important. The 2015 Mets World Series jerseys were NOT given to the players, and MLB collected them after the Series. Unless they were free to keep their jersey, there could be a motive to have it go missing.

Re: Tom Brady Super Bowl jersey stolen??

Wait a minute. Now I'm reading Brady put the jersey inside his travel bag after he took it off (didn't leave it draped over a chair) and then went about conducting interviews and trophy celebrations. A guy who's celebrating an improbable comeback, the only overtime victory in Super Bowl history, sticking it to Goodell, reaffirming his place in NFL history-and he decides to conduct a quality assurance check in his bag moments later? Something doesn't sound right. Was there a contracted agreement for this jersey by anyone?

Ok good, someone shares my theory.
1) he leaves it unguarded in bag even though it's happened before
2) he makes a point of revealing the theft publically , solidifying his innocence at it going missing

If there was in fact a deal for nfl to sell the jersey , im betting he tucked it away.

I doubt Brady is lying about it being missing

Re: Tom Brady Super Bowl jersey stolen??

Oh, it's definitely "missing"; he's not lying about that. If the NFL was letting the players keep the jerseys, then someone other than Brady has it. IF- on the other hand, the jerseys were slated to go up for auction, or sale of some kind, then there's a BETTER chance he quietly gave it to someone to hold for him. Mind you, if it goes up for auction there are people out there who WILL outbid Brady and he stands the chance of never having it but for one day, and it may mean a lot to him. That's why the question of what the NFL was going to do with the jerseys (give it to the players, or sell) is important. It would also take some doing to go into his locker, go into his bag, pull out the jersey, put it where you can walk out it unseen, and have all those people not see any of that. Nothing is impossible in this world however. I just think he has it. These players don't dwell on consequences on matters not football. There are security cameras in the hallway, if not the locker room. So, lets find out who owns the jersey and that will determine if we ever see it again (Theft by non-player it will surface, theft by player-never to be seen again.)

Re: Tom Brady Super Bowl jersey stolen??

Great articles all w/Ken, and Boomer spoke well of the hobby comparing it to collecting art. There's a new article out telling of the initial steps of the investigation where they have a time frame in which the jersey was taken. There's no surveillance cameras in the locker room but there is in the hallway outside. Whether the camera gives a good vantage point of who goes in and out of the door would be good. But even a camera not covering the door, but showing the hallway, is of value for showing during that time frame for example someone moving like they just discovered plutonium, or carrying something, or holding something under a jacket. You still have to find out if the players were going to keep their jerseys. But with the immediate notification to find it that was not expected, the person may have panicked and the jersey may very well still be there, behind a locker room soda machine, in an adjacent office placed inside a drop ceiling, any place. And that wouldn't be seen on surveillance.

If he knows where it is while law enforcement is looking for it, I'm pretty sure he is obstructing justice.

To switch up the topic: Is provenance of this jersey now in question, as the chain of custody is messed up? I read where Strahan believes his Super Bowl jersey was stolen and swapped for an imposter! I would think Bradys jersey could be photo matched though.

Re: Tom Brady Super Bowl jersey stolen??

He also said his 2014 Super Bowl jersey was stolen. Did they ever recover that one? Maybe the same person stole both of them

Re: Tom Brady Super Bowl jersey stolen??

Well Brady said he put the jersey in his bag, so that seems to indicate the players, or at least he, were keeping the jersey. I find it amazing though that at this point, that the NFL doesn't have an authentication program in place-MLB style. If they do-they're pretty sloppy in collecting said items because the player can hand off some other jersey....Anyone know who's in charge of Patriots game used? Who on the Patriots is a contracted memorabilia signer/attendee at shows/ has sold his items recently to dealers? Remember the not that long ago situation when a Yankee teammate stole Jeter's glove? Takes a lot of b4llz to go into a bag in a locker with everyone there, at the biggest most watched event. Sounding less like media. Well, if found identified properly and vouchered for the case, it will have rock solid provenance never before seen. The signed police paperwork alone will sell in the thousands. $500,000 for the jersey may be an understatement.

I didn't know that. Not the biggest thing going on in the world this is, but interesting.

Re: Tom Brady Super Bowl jersey stolen??

The way Bob Kraft was talking when interviewed about the jersey this weekend makes me think they know who took it. Brady seemed to implicate someone in the media when first asked about it.

I too am curious about the 2014 jersey. I haven't heard any follow up since brady, almost casually, mentioned it. The way he said it certainly sounded like they never got it back. I would guess the same guy took both? I do think the thought that Brsdy took it is laughable, personally.

Kraft's comments:

“It’s very sad to me that someone would do something like this, and it’s like taking a great Chagall or Picasso or something. You can never display it. And somehow, I feel there’ll be some news that’ll clear this up in the not too distant future,” Kraft said via The Boston Herald. “I hope it’ll be cleared up soon. I think that a lot of people spend a lot of time looking into the matter and what happened, and I’d rather not say anything that would cause any problems in the work that’s been done. One way or another that jersey will be back.”

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/tom-brady-mia-super-bowl-jersey-worth-500k-houston-cops-article-1.2978139

Two questions: Would Brady's jersey be worth 500K if it didn't go missing? Were the players going to keep their Super Bowl jerseys?

It's not laughable if the jersey's were going to be collected at the end of the game for auction, or sale through a contracted dealer, that a player made decide to make that not happen. So when we answer the question as to whether the players were going to keep their jerseys or not, we can get past this.
