Terrier is going to be your man for these, but as a general rule I totally avoid any cheap base cards that are 'autographed' as they seem to be a favorite for forgers to scribble on quickly because they are so cheap. Also I know Brady does NOT sign TTM which would rule that out. Anyone getting him at a show or something is not going to have some cheap dinky little card to get signed... they would have a football or 8x10. So unless these are "pack issued" autographs from the manufacturer I would proceed with very high caution.

If you are lucky to get Brady after a game(you have a better chance at the lottery), you are going to get a scribble and not his show autograph you'll see from Tristar or Mounted Memories products.

I've been to Pats training camp multiple times and have come close to him, but he usually only signs for kids. Even when he does, you are going to get a Pacino or Downey like autograph, a scribble that's not possible to authenticate.

Long story short, look for a Mounted Memories or Tristar product because 99% of other Brady's are going to be forgeries.

So Tristar and mounted memories are both good authenticator of Tom Brady memorabilia. I've seen the prices for tristar brady memorabilia and it seems to be steeper compared to mm?

Mounted Memories is the official autograph supplier of the NFL. I believe they are called fanatics now, but they are 100% legit. I'm not sure why prices are cheaper. Maybe because they weren't Brady's official signing partner.

Tristar had brady exclusively and charged $599 for the regular signing( 16x20 or under, mini helmets) and then $699 for premiums(footballs, jerseys, artwork). Tristar may be pricier because his private signings were very expensive.

So what's your take on the 1st picture of the autograph piece ? It's supposed to be authenticated by mounted memories with a holo on back of the 1st mini helmet.Selling for 400 or so.

The second picture was given to me by terrier of an actual autograph for reference purposes of Brady. That mini helmet is selling for 499.

if you are going to use my name and photo in something I sent you privately, you can at least present it correctly. I sent you the first photo, not the second.
