Tom Brady
Quarterback · Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Panini Prestige ##AGS-1
Year & Era
2021 — Modern Era
Card Type
Insert — Any Given Sunday
Grade
Estimated 1 (Poor/Damaged)
Rarity
Common insert; high print volume for the base version of this subset.
Overall Assessment
A damaged copy of a popular Tom Brady insert celebrating his final Super Bowl win. While the player is the greatest of all time, the physical damage to the top of the card makes it a low-value item for collectors.
Condition Grade
Estimated 1 (Poor/Damaged)
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears roughly 60/40 Top-Bottom and 50/50 Left-Right, though obscured by damage.
Surface Condition
Severe damage. There is a significant white paper loss/obliteration mark in the upper right 'Any Given Sunday' text area and multiple white specks/scratches across the top black section.
Corner Condition
Upper corners show chipping and wear; bottom corners are obscured by the sleeve but likely have commensurate wear.
Edge Condition
Edges show significant white chipping, particularly along the top border where the black ink has been rubbed away.
Print Quality
Standard Panini retail quality; high gloss surface with dark borders that are prone to showing even minor chips.
Estimated Value
$0.50 - $1.00 USD (Damaged condition significantly negates market value)
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy is in significantly worse condition than most examples found in the secondary market due to the obvious surface tearing/residue.
Authentication Tips
Check for the correct card stock thickness and the dot-matrix pattern in the 'Any Given Sunday' typography. Authentic cards have a crisp, high-resolution photo of the Super Bowl LV matchup.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading far exceeds the market value, and the significant surface damage would result in a '1' or '2' grade.
Red Flags
The white patch in the upper right appears to be either paper loss (surface pull) or a foreign substance stuck to the card.
Provenance Notes
Distributed in 2021 Panini Prestige hobby and retail (blaster/mega box) packs.
Historical Context
The card commemorates Super Bowl LV (Feb 7, 2021), where Brady won his 7th Super Bowl title and first with the Buccaneers.
Market Trends
Tom Brady inserts remained stable after retirement, but collectors heavily favor Mint (PSA 10) copies for investment purposes.
Investment Potential
None. Due to the severe condition issues, this card serves as a 'filler' or personal collection piece rather than a financial asset.

Display & Preservation
Keep in a penny sleeve and top loader to prevent further surface loss. The current sleeve appears dusty and should be replaced.
Interesting Facts
The design mimics a stadium scoreboard or jumbotron 'dot matrix' display for the title text.
