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. Read more at CBS Boston
