Tom Brady expands sports trading card business with new investor group

Tom Brady is expanding his CardVault business, a trading card enterprise currently operating 17 locations across the United States. The former quarterback aims to increase that footprint to more than 100 stores in the future. A new group of investors has joined the venture, including UFC president and CEO Dana White, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, and Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid. Other stakeholders involved in the project include Jay-Z, John Henry, The Kraft Group, and Wyc Grousbeck. Brady stated the initiative aims to encourage collecting by leveraging the communal nature of sports. The effort seeks to bring fans from various backgrounds together through an interest in sports memorabilia.
