The 2000 Playoff Contenders base set contains some of the best players to wear NFL pads, including Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, John Elway, Barry Sanders, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Randy Moss, Steve Young, and Tom Brady. In one of the best decisions in football card history, Playoff Corporation reserved cards #101-150 for Rookie Ticket Autographs. One of which is TB12's now famous #144.
Brady has only 11 autograph cards from 2000 out of more than 120 rookie cards. Only four of Brady’s autographed cards from 2000 picture him in a Patriots uniform, which collectors prefer. Of those four, the Playoff Contenders Rookie Auto, and its parallels, stand above them all as one of the most famous football cards ever produced. And this Brady Playoff Contenders Rookie Auto shines as one of the best-preserved examples of this landmark printing. This BGS 9.5 flashes three 9.5 subgrades, a 10-grade auto, and MBA Silver Diamond designation that signifies just how well this stunning offering presents. No example of this card has earned a higher grade from BGS.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 03/24/2025.
