Tom Brady 2002 Upper Deck Game Jersey Sports Trading Card

This is a horizontal format sports trading card featuring NFL quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. The card appears to be from the 2002 Upper Deck series, specifically the 'Game Jersey' or 'Piece of the Game' subset. It features a full-color action photograph of Brady in his navy blue home jersey (number 12) preparing to throw a football. The image is set against a landscape background with a soft, faded sky. The central image is framed by a thin gold border, which is then surrounded by a wider grey or silver-toned matte border. In the upper right corner, the 'Upper Deck' brand logo is visible in a stylistic font. Centered at the bottom, there is a small rectangular nameplate featuring the player's name. The physical construction is standard cardstock with a glossy finish on the front. Regarding condition, the card is shown resting on a patterned textile surface. Without examining the reverse or under magnification, the visible top-right and top-left corners show some minor softening or white-nicking, typically categorized as light shelf wear. There is a dark smudge or imperfection visible on the right side of the inner image frame. The centering of the image within the grey border appears slightly shifted towards the bottom. This item is a significant piece for collectors due to it being an early career card of a seven-time Super Bowl champion.
