MASSACHUSETTS — A rookie card from Brady’s 2000 season with the Patriots sold for a record amount, fetching $1.32 million from the winning bidder.
PWCC Marketplace shared the news on Twitter, stating, “The highest sale for a football card. Ever.” That winning bidder was James Park, the co-founder, president and CEO of FitBit. ESPN reported that the $1.32 million price paid for this card beat the previous record for highest sale for a football card by nearly $500,000.

Brady reacted to this sale the same way he reacted when another of his rookie cards sold for $400,000 two years ago, vowing to check his basement for any leftover memorabilia that might be valuable. The winning bidder two years ago — when Brady was merely a six-time champion — said that he expected the card to be worth millions in five to 10 years. The seventh Super Bowl victory might have accelerated the timeline of that value growth.
