SCARBOROUGH — Despite the announcement of his recent retirement, Tom Brady’s popularity hasn’t wanned. And even though he left the Patriots in 2019 to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there are many New Englanders who are still big fans of the quarterback who led the Patriots to six superbowl wins and the Buccaneers to one.
So it’s no surprise that a recent rare card of Brady in the year he won his first Super Bowl sold for big bucks at a recent auction in Scarborough, according to The Associated Press. On Jan. 31, a buyer, described only as a Tom Brady fan, said Troy Thibodeau from Saco River Auction, paid $118,000 for the card, according to the AP.
The 2002 Topps Finest X-Fractor card was one of only 20 featuring the NFL quarterback who’d won his first Super Bowl on Feb. 3, 2002, the AP said.
This wasn’t the first time Brady cards sold for high prices. A pair of signed rookie football cards of Brady, who announced his retirement on Feb. 1, sold for $2.25 million and $3.1 million last year, according to the AP.
