Tom Brady suffers huge business blow as ANOTHER one of his lucrative trading card stores is burglarized just a week after opening

Tom Brady has seen his new trading card store burglarized just a week after welcoming local police to its grand opening.

Brady welcomed Palo Alto police to see his 19th new location of the CardVault franchise on August 15. 

But arrest records from the Palo Alto Police Department show the location on El Camino Real was broken into at around 12:30am on Sunday, August 23.

Suspects entered the store after breaking a window, police told PEOPLE, and 60 trading cards worth an estimated value of over $12,000 were reportedly stolen.

Multiple display cases were also smashed, and suspects remain at large after the incident. 

Brady posted for a photo with a police officer in a post shared to the Palo Alto Police Department's Instagram page on August 17. 

The post noted the event 'drew a big crowd' and said: 'Look who we ran into! Welcome to the neighborhood.'

Brady has seen his CardVault business targeted before. Nearly $10,000 worth of baseball and Pokémon cards were stolen from the New York City store in October 2025.

The company rebranded as 'CardVault by Tom Brady' when it was announced he had taken a 50% ownership stake in February 2025.

'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,' said Brady. 

'This isn't just about buying and selling cards; it's about curating history, building community, turning fans into collectors, and giving them access to own great moments in sports.'

The company has since expanded by opening a host of new stores, as well as expanding its digital reach among collectors. It is targeting a total of 100 locations across the US. 

'The intersection of sports, culture, and collectibles has never been more relevant. Tom Brady is bringing his lifelong passion for card collecting, business acumen, brand power, and relentless pursuit of excellence to CardVault. Together, we are ready to build something truly game-changing,' said CardVault co-Founder Ed Kane.

Just this month, major investment was announced in the company, with a host of high-profile names coming on board, including Aaron Judge, Connor McDavid, Dana White, the Kraft Group, John Henry, Wyc Grousbeck and Linda Henry.
