Tom Brady says he buys his own trading cards and signs them to give as gifts, making them more valuable with his autograph
“I’m always a buyer of my own cards, so I would love to buy…”
“I make pretty good money, so I can afford it. But, you know, I’m probably the biggest investor in my own cards.”
“I’m always looking for more… I love giving them as gifts to people. That’s what I love doing. So, I collect a lot of my own. I sign them. I personalize them.”
“It increases the value a lot. It just makes it more rare.”

An MIT professor offered his class a coin flip: win $125 or lose $100. Most students said no. Then he proved refusing was the smart move, and it explains why you're bad with money.
The bet looks great on paper. Flip a coin, win $125 or lose $100. On average, you make money. Economists call that a more than fair bet. Most of the room still wanted nothing to do with it.
They weren't being dumb. Their answer actually made sense.
Here's why. You don't experience money as numbers on a spreadsheet. What matters is what that money does for you. Losing $100 you already have can hurt more than gaining another $125 helps.
Then he changed the question. Imagine you were forced to take the bet unless you paid to escape it. How much would you give up? Using the standard math, the answer came out to $43. People would rather lose $43 for certain than face a bet that's actually tilted in their favor.
That's risk aversion. The value of gaining money and the pain of losing it aren't perfectly symmetrical.
And it's part of the reason insurance exists. You accept a small guaranteed cost today to remove the possibility of a much bigger loss tomorrow, even when that loss is statistically unlikely.
Once you see it, you notice it everywhere. Insurance premiums, warranties, bets you refuse. Sometimes you're not paying for better odds. You're paying to remove an outcome you can't afford.
