A pair of footballs thrown by quarterback Tom Brady to tie and break Joe Montana’s record for career Super Bowl touchdown passes will go up for auction on Feb. 23.

Both balls were signed by Brady after he led the New England Patriots to their 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 1, 2015.

The record-tying ball went to tight end Rob Gronkowski, with the record-setter going to receiver Danny Amendola, who also signed the ball, noted the Gotta Have Rock and Roll auction house.

The lot is estimated to go for something between $1 million and $1.5 million when it hits the auction block.

Brady retired after the 2022 season, finishing with seven NFL titles and 21 touchdown passes in his 10 Super Bowl appearances.
