Summary
A CardVault store in Palo Alto, California, was burglarized just one week after its August 15 grand opening. Police reported that the suspect or suspects broke in by shattering display cases and stealing trading cards valued at over $12,000. The store, part of a chain co-owned by Tom Brady, specializes in sports and pop culture collectibles. A similar burglary occurred at a New York store in 2025. Brady, who owns 50% of the company, recently purchased a rare Fernando Mendoza rookie card.

Collectibles are just the latest thing to be stolen before it’s even cool.
