Tom Brady's return to Foxboro comes with a Topps NOW autograph

Tom Brady signed a Topps NOW card in the Foxboro booth on Sunday to mark his return to New England. One collector who buys the $12 base card gets the exact copy he signed on the broadcast. Orders close Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Topps discounts orders of five, 10 or 20 cards if you want to increase your chances to hit it big on the auto or the parallels. Gold, Orange, Black and Red foil parallels and a 1-of-1 FoilFractor are the chase cards for this drop. A print run of 50,000 unlocks Chrome versions numbered to 99 and 50. Topps will publish the final count after the order window closes.

Brady is also a partner in the CardVault by Tom Brady store chain. It's opening its 21st store at Orlando's ICON Park. A 2013 Prizm Black Finite of him sold for $1.238 million at Alt in September. His Championship Ticket rookie autograph brought $854,000 at Goldin in October.

The money in Brady sits in his 2000 rookies. A PSA 10 of his Bowman Chrome #236 sold for $19,800 in Fanatics Collect's Weekly Sunday Auction on Nov. 8.

I'd buy one NOW card for the fun of the booth autograph and expect a souvenir. If you want a Brady rookie you can sell again without waiting, stick with Topps and look at his 2000 Bowman #236 in a PSA 8. It has sold more than 130 times since Aug. 1. The latest went for $2,454 on Nov. 9. The Bowman Chrome in a PSA 9 is the step up for a bigger budget. We covered how those rookies split this fall on Oct. 29.
