Tom Brady is widely considered the best quarterback in NFL history. Brady dominated professional football over his 23-year career with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, setting records for regular-season passing touchdowns (649), passing yards (89,214), wins (251) and Pro Bowl appearances (15).

It was the playoffs where the three-time NFL MVP truly made his mark, as he holds the record for career playoff wins by a quarterback (35), passing yards (13,400) and passing touchdowns (88). The former Michigan Wolverine has more Super Bowl wins (7) than any single franchise in NFL history. Now retired, Brady has continued to be involved in American sports, serving as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and a lead analyst for Fox Sports.

Brady also became a 50% co-owner of the sports card and memorabilia retail chain CardVault by Tom Brady in February 2025, partnering with founder Chris Costa. Sports cards and collectibles have been a personal passion for the NFL great, saying it's been "part of his DNA since childhood." The business has rapidly expanded from six locations since Brady's original investment to 14 stores across the country. On Monday, it was announced that Brady and his CardVault company will be coming to Ohio.

In an Instagram post, CardVault by Tom Brady posted a skit mimicking a press conference, with Costa addressing the media. In the video, Costa details the latest endeavor for the sports and memorabilia company. CardVault will be coming to the Greater Columbus Convention Center on June 26 and 27 to attend the Columbus Card Fest.

"CardVault by Tom Brady is coming to the Columbus Card Fest," said Costa. "Let's go. Very, very exciting announcement for our team. What promises to be one of the best shows in the country in Columbus is one that we are very excited to announce we're going to be attending. June 26 and 27 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. You might ask, what should we expect at the Columbus Card Fest? I'll tell you what, you can expect over 600 tables, and we're going to be one of them..."
