Would you follow through and pay? Brady's last TD

By the same logic, would someone need to disclose in the sale of a $400,000 Fernando Tatis, Jr. superfractor card “(PLEASE NOTE: Mr. Tatis has a proclivity to ride Motorcycles at night rates of speed and apparently has crashed now on more
than one occasion. The long term value of this card and all cards involving Mr. Tatis may be contingent upon future accidents beyond the control of the auction house.”

LOL. Hopefully the three month projection on his being out will prove right and he won't miss the season.

I don’t see how any of this varies significantly from paying big bucks for a 1/1 card, only to find out 6 Months later that 7 others have suddenly
appeared at the same grade (one of those common farmhouse attic finds)
and I paid a ridiculous amount for what is now a 1 of 8.

If Leland’s said this is the one and only Taris card ever produced and there ended up being more, would seems like a problem on their part. If they said highest grade and there are no others, but then more were found or graded, that would seem fine. This strikes me as more like the former - their description goes way too far to say it’s the last td of the guy’s career. Could have just said it’s the last td he threw before announcing his retirement. Would have avoided a lot of arguments against the sale.

I see the point, but as others have pointed out, there have been daily news stories about Brady waffling. Not like an auction house description is the only piece of information a reasonable buyer has access to.
