2000 Topps Chrome Tom Brady Rookie Card

This item is a 2000 Topps Chrome Tom Brady rookie card, featuring a classic action shot of Tom Brady in his New England Patriots uniform, specifically jersey number 12. The card displays a vibrant, high-gloss 'chrome' finish, characteristic of the Topps Chrome series. The physical characteristics include a standard trading card size, typically 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches, made of a layered card stock with a metallic-like front surface. The primary colors evident are the white, blue, and red of the Patriots' uniform, set against a dark background with a golden border and intricate striped detailing on the left and right sides of the main image. Notable features include the '2000 Topps Chrome' logo prominently displayed in the upper right quadrant of the image. The player's name, 'TOM BRADY', is printed in white capital letters at the bottom center of the card. The card appears to be well-preserved, with sharp corners and clean edges, indicating a high grade and minimal handling. There are no visible condition issues such as surface scratches, creasing, or edge wear, suggesting it has been kept in protective storage, possibly in a sleeve or graded holder, though it is shown in a clear plastic stand in the image. The card's design is typical of early 2000s sports trading cards, focusing on a clear, dynamic player photograph with branded borders. The 'chrome' finish enhances the visual appeal and is a hallmark of premium trading card sets from this era, contributing to its collectibility and value. This rookie card is particularly sought after due to Brady's legendary career.
