On the sports talk forum they know me as a BIG time Brady/Patriots guy. Well, i have been slowly, over the years, putting together the 44 card Brady base rookie set. I acquired the final card this fall and thought i would share! It has been a very long journey and especially when Covid prices hit I never thought this would be possible, but here it is. The complete 44!! It was difficult for me to get all of them into one image and with little glare, but here was my attempt.

Nice job!
Congrats, Craig! Impressive…
Very cool - congrats! I had no idea Brady had that many rookie cards.
Thanks guys, it has taken a long time and lots of patience/focus to finish.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Yes, lots! and the 44 are just the Base Rookies. It doesnt count all the parallels. that puts the number at well over 100!
I have a few parallels, but will never have all because it includes the Contenders Champ ticket that in the past has sold for well over a million dollars.
currently my best parallel is the Bowman Chrome Refractor.
I will never have all the parallels.

Nice. As you can tell I am a Dolphin fan, so watching him crush my team twice a year wasn't fun. But credit were credit is due, he was the one that made the patriot engine go. And tampa.
Those are cool. Congrats.
Are you going to start an Eli Manning rookie run now? ... just kidding. That is quite impressive. Congrats on finally completing it. There is nothing like the feeling after finishing off a set or collection.
Hiya David - congratulations buddy - that's quite an achievement.
Hope you've been doing well? What's your next project to complete - Brett?
That is amazing and very cool to see all the base RCs at once. Congrats on landing all the RCs of the G.O.A.T!!
thank you, it is one of my greatest collecting accomplishments!!

Hey there! I appreciate it. I have been doing very well. I have the Brett run in Topps and I am only missing the 76 OPC Brett to have that run as well.
I think I will start getting some more of the 60s and 70s Baseball HOF rookies. I have my eye on a 67 Seaver at the moment. waiting for the right one to appear!

Oh, Eli Mannning. it is amazing a guy like that could have caused Patriots fans so much grief.

Congrats Craig!
Nice Brady collection. 👍🥳
Craig… a little help.
The cards in the lower left showing a Michigan helmet and red and white jersey…… they wore those during games back then? I don’t remember them.
That is from Tom playing in the Senior Bowl game that year.
Okay…. Thank you.
Thanks Darin, i appreciate it!

Congratulations, very nice. Love player runs.
Congrats craig44! As most collectors know, completing a set is a great milestone, Lots of persistence and focus required!
Very Nice
Congrats!!
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
No Place for 2000 Press Pass #37 ?
That’s insane Craig, CONGRATS!!
Your focus has paid off, what an awesome collection of the GOAT (who I hated - lol)
Soak it up and enjoy!

Thank you Sir!!
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
That one is not considered a true rookie. More like a "minor league" or prospect card

Thank you. I am definitely in the enjoy it stage of my Brady collection
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
great cards!!
Congratz. Make me miss my Brady's. They are fun to chase.
fab collection craig
which card is your fav?
More GOATs than a petting zoo! Nice!
Man, that is a tough one...
I think for looks alone in the base collection, it would be one of these 3: Showcase, Momentum or Leaf Certified. I think I lean toward the Showcase. Overall, my favorite is my Bowman Chrome Refractor. But that is not an official part of the Base 44. It is considered a parallel so it is not in the picture.
of course, if you were to ask me the same question next week, my answer would probably change!

Thank you! you should get back into the Brady rookie game. It is a blast!
