Let’s just pretend that didn’t happen.

The buyer of what was supposedly Tom Brady’s last touchdown ball, a 55-yard throw to wide receiver Mike Evans against the L.A. Rams last season, won’t have to hand over $518,000 anymore.

Brady announced his retirement from Tampa Bay on February 1.

The ball sold for $518,628 on March 12 --- then Brady’s unretirement happened less than 24 hours later.

Luckily for the anonymous collector, a mutual agreement between the buyer, seller, and auction house has voided the sale.

The $518,000 sale of the game ball used in the now-unretired Tom Brady's "final" touchdown pass has been voided by mutual agreement between buyer, consigner and auction house, per @DanHajducky.https://t.co/GcrHr7N3IZ
