2023 Bowman Draft '95 Bowman Autographs Gold Refractor #95AV-TB Tom Brady Signed Card (#40/50) - PSA GEM MT 10

Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA (86713772). This is one of only seven examples of this piece recorded at this supreme tier in PSA's census reporting. This prestigious, essentially unimprovable Bowman Draft '95 Bowman Autographs Gold collectible displays record-setting NFL icon Tom Brady in the uniform of the Montreal Expos, who drafted him in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft. Brady's blue ink on-card signature highlights the cardfront presentation. Since the first boxes of 2023 Bowman Draft baseball products hit shelves in Nov. 2023, attention has been focused not on a young, top-ranked baseball prospect, but on the greatest quarterback the NFL has ever seen. This first-year insert set asks a simple question that could have changed the course of sporting history: what if Brady, a standout high school catcher, had chosen the diamond instead of the gridiron? Much to the rest of the NFL's dismay, Brady ultimately chose to attend the University of Michigan and play football instead of accepting the offer tendered by the Expos (prior to his 2022 retirement from the NFL, Brady was the last active athlete in any sport to be drafted by the Montreal franchise). An assured future Hall of Famer, Brady was a sixth-round selection by the New England Patriots in the 2000 NFL Draft. He is now generally considered the greatest football player in history, having led the Patriots to a staggering six Super Bowl victories; Brady added a seventh ring—more than any other player or individual franchise—in 2021 while quarterbacking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A captivating and attention-grabbing autographed insert piece, this exceptional cornerstone collectible was subject to a punishing jumbo pack-insertion rate of 1:26,639. Here's an exclusive, sterling showpiece from the most talked-about insert set of 2023. A statement on the card affirms the manufacturer's guarantee of authenticity for the piece's content and serves as the item's COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "40/50."
