The jersey came from New England’s 35-14 win over the Giants on October 10, 2019. Brady had a strong night, completing 31 passes for 334 yards while also scoring two rushing touchdowns.

Why the 2019 game made Brady’s jersey special
Brady’s performance against the Giants was not just another regular-season game. Passing Manning on the career passing yards list gave the jersey a direct connection to an important point in Brady’s career.The item also came with authentication and photo-matching documentation. According to the auction listing, the jersey had an NFL certificate of authenticity and a MeiGray photo match. The MeiGray documentation noted identifying details on the jersey, helping connect the actual piece of clothing to Brady’s use during the game.That kind of documentation matters in the sports memorabilia market. A jersey can become much more valuable when collectors can connect it to one specific game or achievement rather than simply showing that it belonged to a famous player.Brady’s memorabilia has already reached much higher prices. His final NFL game-worn Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey sold for $1.391 million through RM Sotheby’s in 2023. The jersey was worn during his final game against the Dallas Cowboys and was photo-matched to the third and fourth quarters.In 2026, Joe Montana’s Super Bowl XXIV jersey also set a new reported NFL jersey record at $1.515 million, according to Goldin. That sale moved past Brady’s 2023 result.Still, the $273,107 price for Brady’s 2019 Patriots jersey shows how much collectors value items tied to specific moments from his career. This was not simply a jersey worn during a Patriots win. It was the jersey Brady wore when he moved past Manning on the NFL’s passing yards list, giving the piece a clear place in football history.
