Is this Tom Brady Autograph Legit?

I won this at an auction by a professional sports team for
charity. Then I got to see the cert and it was by a company I’ve never even heard of. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Tony,

I'm glad you asked. How long ago did you buy it?

I'm not an expert on Tom Brady, but from what I see I'm not comfortable with the autograph.

I've never heard of the authenticator. Go to the "authenticator's" website and you'll see an almost empty site with no company information and only an image and a place to enter the cert number.

TRi-Star is the main, if not the exclusive, distributor of Tom Brady autographs. They start at over $1,000 and go to $5,000+.

Here's their website: https://shop.tristarproductions.com/tom-brady-autographed-memorabilia

Thanks for getting back to me Steve!

I won it at the auction Sunday afternoon when the Hawks were at my restaurant. Ive seen quite a few tri star Brady balls as well.

im thinking I will ask for my money back on this one from the charity for the Blackhawks. It’s a pretty rough situation.

Sorry to say, but this is definitely not authentic. Hope you can get your money back.

JAMES what is your comments based on?

Are you an expert on Tom Brady signatures?

What certifications do you hold that qualifies you to make the comments you made.

Have you ever met Tom Brady?

Why don't you stipulate that you are offering an opinion and you DO NOT know for sure that Tom Brady did not sign said piece?

So the ball that I currently have is your ball that you got signed? I guess I am confused. I’m not sure what your picture that you had autographed has to do with the ball that I have currently? Was the same authenticator there with you?
