New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft loves Tom Brady.
No, we mean he really loves the guy.
Kraft displayed that affection Tuesday, literally paying tribute by spending $120,000 for a rookie autograph card of the 47-year-old which was graded a 9.5 by card grader SGC. Kraft's final bid without fees was $100,000, barely beating out the next-highest bid of $95,000.
$120,000?!?!?!

Kraft has come under fire for supposedly being "cheap" when it comes to running the Patriots, but he clearly doesn't have an issue spending money on things he cares about.
New England's owner was sitting beside Brady when he made the otherworldly bid, as the two took part in Sotheby's and Fanatics' inaugural "Holy Grails" auction in New York City, per ESPN. New York Giants rookie Malik Nabers, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan, WWE wrestler Logan Paul and ESPN's Ryan Clark were also in attendance.
Brady's card was far from the most expensive one sold Tuesday, however, as a rare Roberto Clemente rookie card was purchased for $840,000 by collector Rob Gough. Gough set a record for the amount paid for a sports card when he bought a Mickey Mantle card for $5.2 million in early 2021.

If only normal people had that kind of money...
