2006 Leaf Certified Materials Football was another entry in one of the marquee high-end products of the 2000s. Although heavy of autographs and memorabilia cards, the checklist also included low-numbered parallels. The base parallel rainbow includes five Mirror colors, all numbered /100 or less. Mirror Black is the pinnacle, with each being a 1/1.
Without any huge rookies that season, it's the checklist's Hall of Fame veterans that command the most attention today. None are bigger than Tom Brady. At this point, he'd already won three Super Bowls. But there was much more to follow in the second half of Brady's career, including another four Super Bowls, numerous records and the cemented of his legacy as, arguably, the greatest quarterback of all-time.
This is a stunning parallel from the early part of Brady's career, showcasing both the top end of what football cards had to offer at the time as well as the ascension of an NFL superstar to the cusp of legendary status.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 12/22/2025.
