So often, Tom Brady makes playing quarterback look like a simple job, but every now and then, an opposing team figures out how to get under his skin. That was the case on October 17, 2010, when the Patriots hosted the Ravens. Brady was sacked three times and threw a pair of interceptions as the Ravens built up a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter, but in true Brady fashion, he just viewed that deficit as a challenge. Brady completed a touchdown pass and then led a drive down the stretch that resulted in a game-tying field goal to force overtime. For a while, it appeared the game would end tied, but Brady finally got his offense moving on its third possession of overtime and drove the Patriots down the field, this time setting up a game-winning field goal.
Topps recognized that effort as the defining moment of Brady’s season on the flip side of his 2011 Finest card—and it is hard to argue that the company was off base. It was the 30th time in his career that Brady had overcome a fourth-quarter deficit, and the victory was his 23rd straight at home in the regular season (by winning the next three home games, he set a new NFL record). Of the card's seven Refractor parallels, this /10 Mosaic Refractor ranks among the rarest. Only the 1/1 Superfractor has fewer copies.
