After witnessing a terrible reaction to three unique Tom Brady trading cards with the former quarterback donning a Montreal Expos baseball outfit, the Topps trading card business may be reconsidering.
The initiative, which was released on Tuesday in observance of “Brady Day” or 12/12, was inspired by the jersey number he wore when playing in the NFL. Another allusion to the number is the video’s duration, which is one minute and twenty seconds, or 1:20. Brady wakes up from his baseball-themed dream around 12:12 in the last scene of the video.

Across social media, Topps is taking a major hit for what many see as an obvious attempt to embezzle money.
Brady is also a Hall of Famer in this alternate reality, where he ostensibly managed to avoid the five-year waiting period following his retirement to be elected. Brady was honored with a baseball plaque from the Baseball Hall of Fame, indicating that he, too, ended his career in Tampa Bay, albeit with the MLB’s Rays rather than the NFL’s Buccaneers.

Due to the possibility of the rare Brady card being included, the price of all the Bowman boxes has increased.
Additionally, there has been a lot of opposition to the card in general. Supporters are not pleased with a former football player’s crossover to a baseball card, especially given the absurdly exorbitant cost to even be considered for one.
