Summary
- Robbery at Tom Brady's CardVault store in New York City
- Suspect stole $9,710 in baseball and Pokémon cards
- Suspect attempted to bypass declined credit card transaction
In a daring robbery, a male suspect targeted Tom Brady's new CardVault store in New York City on October 20, 2025. The suspect stole $9,710 worth of collectible baseball and Pokémon cards from the store, which had opened just over a month earlier on October 8.
According to the New York Police Department, the suspect attempted to make a purchase using a credit card, but the transaction was declined. Undeterred, the suspect "began to enter manual prompts into the contact payment terminal without the employee's knowledge to bypass the transaction being declined." After the theft, the suspect fled the scene, traveling southbound on Lafayette Street. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident.
The NYPD's Financial Crimes Task Force is now investigating the case, which is being treated as a grand larceny. The suspect, who remains unidentified, was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, black hooded sweatshirt, black shorts, white socks, and white sneakers, and carrying a multicolored bag.
