## How to identify each version

- **Rookie Ticket Autograph**: Card #144 in the Rookie Ticket Autographed Cards subset, with Playoff Authentic Signature stamping and Brady autograph.
- **Championship Ticket Autograph /100**: Separate Championship Ticket parallel, serial-numbered to 100; do not merge with the regular Rookie Ticket Autograph.

**Identity note:** Correction to seed: the regular Rookie Ticket Autograph and the Championship Ticket /100 are separate versions. The Championship Ticket record sales are not comps for the regular Rookie Ticket Autograph.

## Why this card matters

PSA describes the 2000 Playoff Contenders set as 200 cards, including Rookie Ticket Autographed Cards numbered #101-150, with Tom Brady #144 identified as the key signed example. That makes the card a clear case for ch09 sports-card research: the athlete is only the start, and the exact autograph format, parallel, serial numbering, grader, and grade drive comparison. Championship Ticket sales can explain collector attention, but they should not be used as regular Rookie Ticket Autograph comps.

## Identifying the exact version

The regular #144 Rookie Ticket Autograph belongs to the signed Rookie Ticket subset and is cataloged by PSA as 2000 Playoff Contenders Tom Brady Autographed. The Championship Ticket is a separate parallel and PSA's price guide labels it as Tom Brady Auto (100). A correct record should capture whether the slab says Playoff Contenders or Playoff Contenders Championship Ticket, whether the card is serial-numbered, and whether the autograph grade is separate from the card grade.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

Variant dominates the Brady market: a PSA-graded regular Rookie Ticket Autograph and a BGS Championship Ticket /100 are not interchangeable. Grade also matters because major public sales range across Auth, PSA 6-8, and BGS 8-9 examples. For autographed cards, record both the card grade and the autograph grade when the source provides it. A sale of a BGS 9 Auto 10 Championship Ticket should not be averaged with a PSA Auth regular Rookie Ticket.

## Authenticity checks

Compare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For this card, authenticate the card, the autograph, and the slab. Confirm the card number, Contenders wording, serial-numbering if present, autograph grade, and holder data. Because high-value Brady Contenders examples are often slabbed, a valid cert lookup is useful but not final; PSA warns that cert numbers can be copied, and a physical expert review may still be needed.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** The regular Rookie Ticket and Championship Ticket /100 are the same market. **What the evidence says:** The evidence supports separate variants, with Championship Ticket labeled and serial-numbered separately.
- **Myth:** A public record sale establishes the price for every Brady #144 autograph. **What the evidence says:** Record sales are variant-grade-specific and cannot be transferred to lower grades or different versions.
- **Myth:** A low population or /100 print run guarantees future price movement. **What the evidence says:** Low supply alone is not a forecast; demand, availability, grade, and liquidity still need evidence.

## FAQ

### What is the difference between the Brady Rookie Ticket Autograph and Championship Ticket?

### Does an autograph grade matter?

Yes; for Brady Contenders examples, sources often report both card grade and autograph grade, and those should be recorded separately.

### Can Championship Ticket sales be used for the regular Rookie Ticket?

No; they can provide context, but they are not direct comps for the regular Rookie Ticket Autograph.
