Is this Brady's most difficult rookie ?

And is it now his highest priced rookie ?

I believe it is.

Not the most difficult, but definitely the priciest.

The Contenders Championship ticket #/100 and autographed is his most valuable rookie. A BGS 9 sold for $400,000 a couple years ago and would undoubtedly go for well over a million dollars if not several million now.

Unfortunately, since I never saw the PSA 9 championship ticket RC up for sale, I failed to buy a PSA 8 version (it was pop 1 in PSA 9). Leaves a pretty glaring hole in my Brady RC collection but one that will never be filled.

As for most difficult that is a tough question. It took a lot longer to find some of his other rookie cards in PSA 9 than a Contenders auto RC for me. I think there are quite a few of the Contenders autos out there and for an unnumbered card I think the Contenders auto RC is the hardest to find. But he has many low numbered rookie cards that rarely come up for sale and IMO are more difficult to locate in high grade.

When I joined eBay in 2009 his contenders psa 10 was a $2,500 card

Amazing to see where it is now!

Do you think they ever made it to circulation ?

@UFFDAH has some Brady RCs with print runs around 25 I believe.

I believe his rarest non-parallel rookie is the Pacific Revolution. that one is numbered to 300

I suppose that would be his most difficult
