The Hunt
Distinct from the 1/1 Superfractor (already found and auctioned), this Gold Refractor parallel numbered 12/50 -- Brady's jersey number -- is inscribed "If baseball doesn't work out, there's always football." As of the most recent reporting, it has not been pulled or publicly surfaced, making it one of the hobby's most talked-about missing chase cards.
