Description: Few cards in our history inspire as much excitement as this offering. Even to vintage card enthusiasts, certain cards rise from the modern realm to emerge as world class investment pieces. Offered here is what we personally believe to be the single most important modern football card ever produced. - the 2000 Playoff Contenders Autographed Tom Brady, held firmly within a stunning PSA 10 holder. As everyone knows by now, Tom Brady entered the NFL with zero attention attached to his name, being drafted 199th overall in the 2000 draft. In 2001 he would take the reins of the Patriots after an injury to then starting QB Drew Bledsoe. Six Championships, three MVP awards and many records to his name since then, the evidence of Brady's success is difficult to deny. Few athletes have attained brand awareness to match Tom Brady; a figure who possesses the draw of invincibility that only comes with championships. Like Jordan, Gretzky, Woods, Ruth and Venus, Tom Brady holds the status of immortal, and is one of our culture's most active legends, still showing attributes of youth and viability which seem to redefine what's possible within the landscape of professional sports. Offered here is his most desired trading card, positioned firmly atop the finest copies known to exist and just the fourth PSA 10 we have brokered in our long history. The offered example easily stands apart from the others, possessing 'brand new' qualities throughout. The fragile gold foil ticket truly excites as it possesses no visual scuffs, scratches, or imperfections. All four corners are uniformly untouched with the fragile periphery being entirely clean; rare as this card is typically plagued by edge chipping. Furthermore, one of the most difficult aspects of this card, the autograph is seemingly pristine and brilliantly penned in black ink. There simply are not enough of these assets to be shared among investors, and as the trading card space continues to mature, assets of this caliber are expected to continue their rise towards status of 'museum caliber'. A heroic offering which provides the best of what our market has to offer. Please see the video highlight for more details. One of over 22,000 cards, lots and sets up for bid in our 1st Auction of 2021. Click on the link above to view the other PWCC auction lots.

Marketplace Trust
Safeguarding the integrity of bidding on our auctions is our highest priority. For the trading card marketplace to function effectively, the honesty and integrity of the participants must be ensured. Collectors deserve a legitimate marketplace, free from manipulation by the auction house, consignors, friends of consignors, friends of the auction house, or anyone else who seeks to exert artificial influence on the sale price.
For details of the procedures we use to monitor our Marketplace, please refer to our website under the Marketplace Tenants tab.
Commitment to Purchase
Placing a bid in our auction demonstrates a commitment to complete the purchase. Any buyer who does not pay for an item will be permanently blocked from bidding with PWCC and reported to eBay.
Payment Options
In addition to paying direct through eBay, PWCC is proud to offer several additional options to enable easier payment for auction winnings including the option to submit cards to one of our auctions in lieu of payment. Please contact PWCC with any questions about these payment options.
PWCC Return Policy
Returns are only accepted if an item is misrepresented in the auction title, description, images, email, or phone communication. Buyer's remorse is not a valid reason for return. We strive to be reasonable in the event of a disagreement and ask that buyers afford us the same level of fairness. Misrepresentation of an auction item is exceedingly rare.
We at PWCC are not professional graders so we trust in the reputation and opinion of 3rd party professional graders. Professional grading is subjective and different 3rd party graders will often disagree over the grading on a single card. Such a disagreement is not a justifiable reason for a return with PWCC.
As a broker of graded trading cards, our responsibility is the accurate description and delivery of the item advertised; not to guarantee how a graded card will be assessed by different grading company. Any issue a buyer has with a card's professional grade should be addressed with the company that graded the card.
Auction Integrity
Safeguarding the integrity of bidding on our auctions is our highest priority. For the trading card marketplace to function effectively, the honesty and integrity of the participants must be ensured. Collectors deserve a bidding environment that is 100% legitimate and free from manipulation by the auction house, consignors, friends of consignors, friends of the auction house, or anyone else who seeks to exert artificial influence on the sale price.
Bid Monitoring
PWCC proactively monitors the behavior of bidders. We reserve the right to contact bidders who place bids outside the guidelines outlined below, and in some cases, we will choose to cancel bids and block bidders from participating in our auctions.
- All bid retractions and cancellations that violate eBay’s policy are reported daily to eBay. eBay reserves the right to enforce its policies.
- Any username with recurrent bid retractions across the eBay platform will be blocked from participating in further PWCC auctions.
- "String bidding", or placing a series of sequential bids at the minimum bid increment, can be perceived as bid manipulation because the practice allows a bidder to expose the maximum bid of another bidder without becoming the high bidder himself or herself. Any instances of string bidding will be flagged by our team. In cases of clear manipulation, string bids will be cancelled and offenders will be blocked.
We ask that the bidding community assist us in identifying concerning bid b
