August 16-18 in NYC is going to be a timeline to remember! As the website stated, Fanatics Fest NYC is the first-ever immersive sports festival featuring the largest collectibles show ever in NYC and autographs and photo ops. This is the chance for fans to get autographs and photos and shop for coveted sports cards of the star athletes in all the major sports of the US. 

NFL legend Tom Brady just revisited his past through a million-dollar collectible that had been in existence since 2000. Fanatics Fest NYC’s collectible section is seeing a lot of collectors and enthusiasts, including the NFL GOAT, who came back to revisit his collectibles and drop some information on his signature change over the years. 

Topps, a major collectible company, posted an interaction with Tom Brady, who revealed he used to sign in two different ways. After taking a look at the signature he signed on his most valuable collectible, he announced that it was an original that was on display at the event. Brady then said of his autograph, “That’s how my dad signs his name. So I was always trying to copy how he did it. But then I realized I just have to kind of more like an autograph and then more of a signature.”

The collectible in question was the Tom Brady 2000 Playoff Contenders Rookie Championship Ticket Autograph which was sold in 2021 for a whopping $3.1 million. The 7X SB champ has 44 Rookie cards under his belt with the one above being the most expensive one. It’s followed by Tom Brady 2000 Playoff Contenders Rookie Ticket Autograph worth $2.8M and Tom Brady 2000 Bowman Chrome Rookie Refractor worth $498,000. While this particular section of the Fanatics Fest had both Brady’s and fans’ attention, it’s definitely not the only thing that stole fans’ attention. 

Tom Brady makes his WWE entrance in style

What can’t we expect from Tom Brady who not only had an illustrious 23 seasons in the NFL but is also set to become the highest-paid sports commentator? He not only took a hilarious shot at Michael Rubin’s couch arrangement. But he also made an unexpected WWE entrance as he walked in with style like a real wrestler at the Fanatics Fest event production setup. 

Following that walk, WWE just had to mention Brady on their official IG account saying, “Hey @TomBrady, call us!” Tom Brady chose former WWE legend Hulk Hogan’s entrance theme music. Not only that, Hogan’s entrance video played in the background screen as he impersonated the wrestling star. Even current WWE standout Drew McIntyre took notice and shared the video on his X with the caption, “What a mark.” It looks like Tom Brady is having the time of his life enjoying the fruits of his successful football career before another big role commences on September 8 when he’ll make his commentator debut.
