I did find something rather interesting on the back of #125--Tom Brady's card.
See that part at the top? The empty blue area below the number? On most cards, that is where the player's Twitter handle goes. like @Nocturok (Shameless self promotion for a social media outlet I rarely use anymore, but if you want to follow me go right ahead.) But nope. None for Tom Brady.
I'm kind of surprised by this. I never looked too closely and just happened to notice it on his card (more on why I was looking closer in a bit) but I figured if anyone would be on Twitter, it would be one of the biggest names in the NFL.
Not too suprising (and the reason I was looking closer at his card) is there is no mention of Deflate-gate. Maybe there is on some other company's cards, but not Topps 2015 football. They did that for Adrian Peterson as well. I think Score mentioned that he had a year off or something, but that was it. Not that it matters, especially for something like Deflate-Gate, which didn't cause Brady to miss any games. I just thought it was rather interesting how card companies handle stuff like that.
BTW, If anyone from Topps reads this, I have an idea for an insert set. Famous controversies..
