Tom Brady rookie cards are going to be in high demand for all time because he has done the unimaginable by winning an additional Super Bowl with the Buccaneers.
It's well overdue we looked at Brady's key cards from an era before rookie patch autos.
5. 2000 Metal Tom Brady RC #267
A great way to start the list as the Fleer Metal cards have REALLY become popular in recent times in both sports and super hero cards. This card is somewhat unique too as it features Brady in his full Patriots uniform.
4. 2000 Upper Deck Black Diamond Tom Brady RC #126
Available in a base version as well as a gold parallel here we have Brady in some practise gear. Many of his rookie are in practise gear, perhaps because he wasn't on the radar at the time getting drafted with the 199th pick!
It last sold (July, 2021) in a PSA 10 for $6900.
3. 2000 Bowman Chrome Tom Brady RC #236
A (now) iconic card from a classic set, Brady's Bowman Chrome rookie card has become the go to for collectors much like Kobe and LeBron's Topps Chrome. Also available in the regular paper Bowman set.
Last sold in a PSA 10 for $16.25k
2. 2000 SP Authentic Tom Brady #118 #/1,250
Another rookie card with what seems to be practise gear, the SP Authentic rookie is numbered to 1250.
Last sold in a PSA 10 for $96k.
1. 2000 Playoff Contenders Tom Brady RC #144 Autograph
The grail for Brady collectors from 2000 Playoff Contenders, this set predates rookie patch autos which came in with UD Exquisite a few years later.
This card last sold for $81k in a PSA 9/ Auto PSA 10.
