Encapsulated with autograph assessed "GEM MT 10" by PSA/DNA (Cert. #84058453). The record-setting seven-time Super Bowl Champion and future Hall of Famer has placed an outstanding, black ink signature on the obverse of this high-grade Rookie Card. Though produced as a limited-edition piece (likely, within an edition of 100 copies) no serial number is present on this example of the sought-after Brady collectible. This card hails from an extremely popular release, and stands as a key entry in the entire span of Playoff Contenders "Ticket" production.
This alluring card carries a unique and valuable provenance: the card was presented to a past consignor as a personal gift from a high-ranking Donruss executive in 2009, who stated at the time that the piece emanated directly from the company's files. Although a small number of cards are typically retained by a manufacturer (in case of a need to replace a damaged item), this particular card was not in the customer service department where those replacement cards are held and distributed if required. Accordingly, it can be properly asserted that the offered piece is the only Donruss File Copy of the Tom Brady Championship "Rookie Ticket" parallel series autographed rookie card.
