Explore in-depth stats, PSA populations, and a unique rating for this highly coveted short-printed rookie card of Tom Brady from SP Authentic's Future Watch series.
The 2000 SP Authentic Tom Brady #118 Rookie Card is one of the most prestigious and sought-after modern football cards, earning an 89.5 Hobby Score. With a print run limited to just 1,250 copies, this card is far scarcer than most of Brady’s other rookies. SP Authentic was Upper Deck’s premium brand, known for its crisp photography, Future Watch branding, and serial-numbered rookies—a formula that set the standard for high-end football cards in the early 2000s.
Brady’s journey to NFL superstardom is filled with memorable moments, from his underdog status as the 199th pick to his legendary playoff comebacks. One story that stands out: after being drafted, Brady introduced himself to Patriots owner Robert Kraft by saying, “I’m the best decision this organization has ever made.” The SP Authentic rookie captures the beginning of that improbable rise. Its combination of rarity, brand prestige, and direct connection to Brady’s legacy makes it a true grail for collectors and a centerpiece of any modern football collection.
