NFL Legend Tom Brady Announces Personal News on Wednesday

And shortly after calling Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, Brady purchased a 50% stake in the sports cards and memorabilia chain CardVault. The company, which has since changed its name to CardVault by Tom Brady, was founded in 2020 by Chris Costa and initially had six locations open across the United States.

But since Brady joined CardVault, he has helped spearhead the opening of six new locations. These include stores in Sacramento, SoHo (New York City), Dallas, Las Vegas, the Mall of America (Minnesota) and, most recently, San Francisco, marking the company’s 12th location.

However, on Wednesday, Brady decided to expand CardVault even further, revealing that the next location will be in Brooklyn. The 13th store is set to open on March 6, and will be just outside of the Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets.

"Thank you all for being here today," Costa said. "We announced store No. 13. CardVault by Tom Brady No. 13. Very exciting announcement for us coming at the heels of our 12th flagship location in San Francisco. So some of you might be asking, 'Well, hey, what's next?'

"Well I'll tell you what, we're coming back to New York. Brooklyn, New York, that is. Beautiful Brooklyn... And it is right around the corner. March 6th, we will open our doors in beautiful Brooklyn, overlooking the skyline of New York City. And where exactly in Brooklyn might we be opening? Great question. 80 Flatbush Avenue. One of the most iconic streets in all of Brooklyn... right next to the beautiful Barclays Center."

Brady entered the sports cards and collectibles business out of a personal passion for the hobby, which he has pursued since childhood.

“Sports collectibles and cards have been part of my DNA since childhood, and CardVault has set the gold standard for what a modern fan experience should be,” Brady said.
