At the time of this writing, Tom Brady’s career touchdown pass total stands at 717. To recall them all from memory would be a task just as impossible as stopping TB12 on the football field, though there is one that has managed to stick out in Brady’s mind even decades later. Speaking with legendary broadcaster Vin Scully on an episode of his Let’s Go! podcast, Brady revealed that the eight-yard strike he threw to receiver David Patten in Super Bowl XXXVI was his favorite of his career thus far. The only TD he threw during that MVP performance, that touchdown was the first score of Brady’s illustrious Super Bowl career and marked the beginning of Tom Terrific’s march toward immortality. The bio on this 2002 Topps Pristine Gold Refractor celebrates many of Brady’s unforgettable accomplishments from that Super Bowl-winning season, though the card itself is no less deserving of celebration. A Pop 2 PSA 10 numbered to 79, this card was actually encased in a plastic holder while in circulation, meaning it has been virtually untouched since the moment it was minted. So, even if you already have 717 Brady cards to call your own, this one is sure to stand out as your favorite.
