This significant sum emerged on Friday night during online sports auction house Lelands, which managed to break a record for the sale of a football card, that, notably, was previously also held by the NFL star.
One might remember that another of Brady’s rookie cards had been purchased last month by Fitbit CEO James Park for $1.32 million on PWCC Marketplace.

Tom Brady is currently 43 years old, yet still playing remaining in surprisingly good shape. He began his professional football career with the New England Patriots, where he won six Super Bowls. During that time, he was infamously dragged into the “Deflategate” scandal, where it was alleged that he ordered the deflation of footballs used in the Patriots’ victory against the Indianapolis Colts in the 2014 American Football Conference Championship Game.

The famous quarterback then left the Patriots in 2020 in order to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with whom he earned his seventh Super Bowl win, when the team beat the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year.
Going back to the card, now the same memento has eclipsed in value up to $2 million, since prices for rare and expensive sports cards and memorabilia continue to climb.
