About the Painting
This large-scale oil painting pays tribute to a pivotal moment in NFL history. In 2000, Joe Montana delivered his Hall of Fame speech in Canton, Ohio—just two days before a 22-year-old Tom Brady took his first NFL snaps on the same field during the Hall of Fame Game between the 49ers and Patriots. Brady’s brief appearance marked the quiet beginning of a legendary career, captured forever on his iconic 2000 Bowman rookie card. The refractor version of this card is one of the rarest and most coveted, with an estimated pull rate of 1 in 24,000 packs and only 430 graded copies across major grading companies. This painting immortalizes the moment and the card that started it all.
