Impact of NFL Week 1 Performances on cards
1. Tom Brady
After his Monday night assault, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player, saw his stock and prices of cards reaching the same historic levels as his Monday-night performance. Tom Brady is a once-in-a-generation quarterback and has a tremendous following from his crazed New England fans. Mix that with his three Super Bowl rings and dramatic performances he is able to pull off, and you now understand why the demand and price of his cards are so high.

2. Cam Newton
Cam Newton began his NFL career on the same field where he ended his collegiate one and was spectacular. His 422 yards passing are a record for any rookie in his NFL opener.

Two of his superfractor’s from 2011 products sold over the weekend following his performance. His 2011 Topps Finest Superfractor sold for $3,101.99, while his 2011 Topps Platinum Patch Auto Superfractor sold for $2,500.00.
