If you want to touch one of Tom Brady’s balls, it’ll cost you more than $40,000.

A football used in the playoff game that launched “Deflategate,” the scandal in which the New England Patriots quarterback allegedly ordered game balls secretly deflated in order to better grip them, was sold at auction Saturday for $43,740, ESPN reported.

Sports auction house Lelands hawked the piece of history at one of the highest prices ever paid for a pigskin. The buyer was not identified.

It is the only ball from the 2015 AFC Championship Game that has been made publicly available for sale.

Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount scored a touchdown with the auctioned ball in the third quarter, but the ball was used in the first half and may have been underinflated, according to ESPN.

Indianapolis Colts officials accused Brady of softening his balls after the Patriots routed them 45-7 during their Super Bowl run.

Brady, who is appealing the NFL’s four-game suspension, has said his balls were “perfect.”
