2002 Super Bowl XXXVI Full Ticket Signed by Tom Brady, PSA Gem Mint 10 - PSA/DNA Auto 10. If there had been any doubters left, Super Bowl LV silenced them forever. The quarterback who had shepherded the New England Patriots to six NFL Championships left behind that NFL juggernaut and its legendary coach for the franchise with the lowest winning percentage in league history and proceeded to lead them to Vince Lombardi's promised land in his first season under center. In displacing Michael Jordan from their shared throne with his seventh championship ring, a forty-three-year old Tom Brady set a new standard for athletic greatness and ensured for himself a brand of immortality that even the certainty of his future first-ballot Hall of Fame induction couldn't possibly supply.

The final chapter of this epic tale has yet to be written, and Brady still has three naked fingers left and the apparent will to adorn them in gold and gemstones, Father Time be damned. Only a handful of living sports fans can claim that they saw Babe Ruth play the game, and it's a certainty that one day the elderly will be telling stories to their great-grandchildren of the time they saw Tom Brady in the flesh.

No matter how many Super Bowl victories the GOAT manages to secure before he ends the greatest career in football history, there will never be any more special--and certainly none more improbable--than the first. Keep in mind that the Pats had lost thirteen of their previous eighteen games before Brady entered a September 30, 2000 game to replace an injured Drew Bledsoe. He'd win that one, and fourteen of the next sixteen, including a nine-game winning streak that culminated in Super Bowl XXXVI glory.

This is the finest example of a ticket from that first Championship for Brady and the New England Patriots that exists, earning perfect ratings for both the condition of the ticket itself, and that of their hero quarterback's black sharpie signature applied to its surface. This is the only Gem Mint 10 example of the rare gold version produced for the limited seating of the Superdome's suite level. With the ticket market as hot as its ever been, we expect a fierce battle for this enormously significant rarity on Platinum Night. Encapsulated by PSA Gem Mint 10 - PSA/DNA Auto 10.
