All Tom Brady rookie cards are important. But this 2000 Leaf Limited carries some extra significance. The foil-based release was from one of the hobby's leading high-end brands at the time. On a strictly visual level, it's one of only a few of Brady's base rookie cards to have an action shot on him in a full New England Patriots uniform. Most others have him in practice gear or even as a Michigan Wolverine.
The base set checklist takes on a challenging tiered structure. Brady is part of the rarest level, numbered /350. This also makes it among Brady's rarest base set rookie cards. It's also the lowest for any with him in full game uniform. It's less than a third of the print run of TB12's iconic 2000 SP Authentic card, which has 1,250 copies.
This is one of just 16 copies to earn a Gem Mint PSA 10 grade.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 06/04/2026.
