Tom Brady’s business empire grows in new stores in New Jersey

Tom Brady rarely cheered in East Rutherford, New Jersey, but on Friday night the American Dream was packed with hundreds of fans of New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers gear.

They saw Brady and were there to celebrate the opening of CardVault by Tom Brady. The store offers rare premium trading cards for enthusiasts who want to enhance their collection. The store also offers an environment for all kinds of collectors.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion suggested that the Fox business be optimistic about the strength of their hobby regardless of the decline or flow seen.

“Everything in life is fading, but I think we are in a digital age where people can share everything they have. I think it’s easier to find you, the people you value, and what you like, everyone’s experiences in this particular hobby.

“That’s what it’s all about. It’s creating new fans, creating people who love sports as well as those who love the industry. For me, it starts with a love for sports, and the logic behind my age is to collect cards, and here and now we’re involved in a great team of people in 40 years (Chris Costa, co-founder of CardVault).

Costa held a quick Q&A session with Brady. The two talked about their favorite cards from Brady’s own personal collection. Brady then launched some football in the crowd for the fans.

The New Jersey location is the first location outside the Boston area.

“This is a great place for us,” Brady said. “We’re close to our Boston store. We’re going to continue moving west. The one month’s store is what Chris is talking about, and we talked about where these opportunities will be, and they got a lot of stuff in the store.”

For those who want to break into their hobbies, both Costa offered their own advice on what to collect.

“Get together what you like,” Costa told Fox Business. “Always gather things you like. Don’t chase after people you think are worth more money, or what you think will make you a million dollars. Gather your favorite players, gather your favorite teams, and your hobbies will be a fun place for you.”
