Tom Brady has just made headlines once again, and this time it’s because of a signed and numbered rookie card that was purchased by a collector for $2.4 million dollars!
This 8 of 100 card, which means there are only 100 in the world, is the most expensive football card sold at public auction this year.
The card was delivered by Playoff Contenders Championship Ticket and it passed the $1 million mark after 16 hours of auctioning, which is sensational.
This price is not the highest of any card in any sport, however, as two other trading cards were purchased at a higher price this year at public auction.
The main reason it “went” for such an exorbitant price was because it was graded mint and the signature was graded perfect.
Of the 100 cards, only a few were graded “perfect”, so that increases the rarity of this one to $2.4 million.
Congratulations to the new owner, who got his hands on something that every sports card collector has wanted.
