CardVault by Tom Brady has officially opened its third location in New York \u2014 this time in Brooklyn. Card Vault currently has locations in SoHo, East Hampton and now on Flatbush Avenue, just steps from the Barclays Center.<\/p>\n

The industry\u2019s premier national retailer of sports cards and memorabilia, CardVault soft-launched its new store at 80 Flatbush Ave.<\/a> this month, marking its latest expansion into the New York market.<\/p>\n

Collectors can expect to find premier card brands stocked at CardVault by Tom Brady, including Panini, Topps and Upper Deck, as well as non-sports options such as Pok\u00e9mon. The new location also features a vault as the centerpiece of the store, where rare and exclusive memorabilia and collectibles will be displayed.<\/p>\n

Beyond products, each CardVault by Tom Brady location also serves as a place where fans can sell, trade or grade their cards and collectibles.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an iconic city. It\u2019s always been part of our mission as a company to bring fans into collecting and turn fans into collectors,\u201d said co-founder Chris Costa. \u201cIt goes way beyond that, we think Brooklyn is an amazing community and we think that this part of Brooklyn is full of people who collect. We\u2019re very excited to be here on Flatbush.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2025, Brady obtained a 50% stake in the company, which was rebranded as \u201cCard Vault by Tom Brady,\u201d partnering with co-founder Chris Costa. The store\u2019s main purpose is to showcase Brady\u2019s lifelong obsession with collecting cards, which began at a young age \u2014 saving money to buy packs at local hobby shops and reading the stats on the back of cards.<\/p>\n

\u201cSports collectibles and cards have been part of my DNA since childhood,\u201d said<\/a> Brady after purchasing a stake in CardVault.\u201dCardVault has set the gold standard for what a modern fan experience should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to the official ribbon-cutting for the store\u2019s opening, Brady made a special stop to surprise local fifth- and sixth-grade students.\n<\/p>\n

To celebrate the grand opening of his new collectibles store, the football legend paid a visit to the Prospect Schools Downtown Campus<\/a>. Joined by Costa, Brady spent time in the school\u2019s auditorium talking with students about their shared love of sports and the hobby of collecting. The excitement peaked when the two tossed out footballs and trading card packs to students in attendance.<\/p>\n

Upon arriving at the store, the former Patriots quarterback was greeted by a loud reaction from the crowd gathered outside, with passersby stopping in shock to see Brady, even if only through a window. The new location kept Brady\u2019s appearance a secret to keep the event low-key, making the short visit even more special for the children in attendance.<\/p>\n

The first 25 customers in line received free New York-branded Card Vault hats, which Brady happily signed. The experience of meeting Brady left those in attendance with a memory they are unlikely to forget \u2014 something that will likely draw them back to the newest collectible store on Flatbush Avenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Brady helps cut the ribbon during the grand opening of the CardVault by Tom Brady store on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172251,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[3353,15608,98,100,99,288,66174,66175,32453,9,24,12,370,63,61017,2381],"class_list":["post-172250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-barclays-center","tag-boerum-hill","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-business","tag-cardvault","tag-cardvault-by-tom-brady","tag-flatbush-avenue","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-news","tag-newsletter","tag-nyc","tag-opening","tag-tom-brady"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172250\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
