Everything to check on a 2000 Playoff Contenders Tom Brady Championship Ticket RC Auto before paying for a professional grade — and how to get an instant AI pre-grade in seconds.
About the Brady Contenders auto rookie
The 2000 Playoff Contenders Tom Brady Championship Ticket RC Auto is a 2000 Football card from the modern era. The highest-value modern football card. Only 100 copies exist — every scratch and off-center cut matters.
What graders look for
Every grading company — PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC — uses the same four sub-scores: centering, corners, edges, and surface. On this card specifically, watch for:
- Surface scratches on the silver foil
- Autograph fading
- Corner dings
- Centering issues
Pro tip
Autograph condition matters as much as the card itself. A faded signature drops value dramatically.
Should you send it in?
Before paying grading fees, scan the card with ID Grader to get an instant AI pre-grade across all four sub-scores. If the pre-grade comes back a confident 9.5 or 10, you probably have a submission candidate. If it comes back an 8 with any sub-score below a 9, you likely do better selling the card raw.
