WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A Tom Brady rookie card has sold for a record-breaking $1.32 million.
The autographed rookie card -- one of only 100 in the world -- was purchased Thursday during an online auction by PWCC Marketplace.
James Park, a longtime fan of the quarterback, bought the card.
"I lived in Boston for 10 years and so am a huge fan of Brady," Park said in comments posted to PWCC Marketplace's Instagram account. "The last Super Bowl win just a mind-blowing accomplishment. I've also had a love of collecting cards since I was a kid."
The sale price was billed by PWCC Marketplace as the highest price paid for a football card.
It breaks the record previously set two years ago, when another Brady rookie card sold for more than $400,000.
Park called the card "an important piece of sports history and of any collection."
Brady, 43, was named MVP after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 to win Super Bowl LV at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. He signed with the Buccaneers last year after spending his first 20 NFL seasons with the New England Patriots.
