But after his historic comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, I had to consider jumping on the "Tom Brady is the GOAT" bandwagon. Then he moved over to Tampa Bay and won another championship. OK, I'm in. Tom Brady is the greatest of all time. While he doesn't hold any all-time passing records, Brady holds a 154-52 record after the age of 33, three league MVP awards and has made 15 Pro Bowl appearances. And then there are the 7 Super Bowl rings out of 10 appearances! Ever since companies started placing inserts into the packs, collectors have ripped pack after pack, looking for "the golden ticket"; an autographed card of the "next big thing" to join the NFL. But of all those possibilities, no issue comes remotely close to challenging the 2000 Playoff Contenders rookie ticket autographed card of Tom Brady, arguably the most important football card issue of the 21st century. The featured card is nearly flawless, earning a BGS grade of 9 MINT with an autograph that is scored a perfect 10. It's not hyperbole to suggest that this is football's equivalent to the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card and when Brady is officially inducted into the Football Hall of Fame, there's no telling how much more coveted this card will become
