Tom Brady never netted a dollar playing professional baseball … but a card of him in uniform just made one seller a boatload of cash.
A baseball card of the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback sold for $158,600 online Saturday after a contentious bidding war on the site Goldin.
As we previously reported … the happy seller is a Minnesota card collector who pulled the one-of-a-kind signed Topps Tom Brady Montreal Expos Superfractor card … talk about a lucky draw!
TB12 played catcher for his high school baseball team, and the Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals) took him in the 18th round, 507th overall … not high enough to entice Tom away from his University of Michigan scholarship.
The rest is history … Brady’s gone down as the greatest QB of all time, a surefire Hall of Famer — though it hasn’t stopped people from imagining what could’ve been.
Topps put out a commercial reimagining Brady’s life as an MLB player instead … guy ended up being the G.O.A.T. in a different sport (no surprise there).
Six figures for a guy who never played an out of pro baseball … who knew the road not taken could pay so well?
