CardVault by Tom Brady will open a flagship location later this month at the American Dream mall in Rutherford, N.J., next to MetLife Stadium, home field for the NFL’s Jets and Giants. The 1,200-square-foot store will offer rare and premium trading cards, authentication services and an exclusive VIP trading experience.
“Bringing CardVault by Tom Brady to American Dream, just steps from MetLife Stadium — home to countless iconic moments in sports — is a significant milestone for us,” said Ed Kane, Co-founder of CardVault in a statement. “With Tom’s vision and American Dream’s unmatched energy, we’re creating a premier hub for fans and the entire sports collecting community.”
This will be the first CardVault store outside Boston and the first to open following Brady’s purchase. It will feature a custom-designed steel vault showcasing sought-after collectible “holy grails” as well as vibrant artwork, sports-centric murals and a one-of-a-kind sculpture by Southern California artist Brett Crawford, who blends art, fashion and street culture in his work.

The store’s April 11 grand opening will feature a conversation between seven-time Super Bowl champ Brady, who purchased his ownership stake in CardVault in February 2025, and CardVault Co-founder Chris Costa, sharing insights on collecting and personal stories behind unique cards, tickets and memorabilia.

“I’m beyond excited to officially be in the hobby business — not just as a collector, but as a store owner,” said Brady in a statement. “CardVault isn’t just about buying and selling cards; it’s about bringing the passion of collecting to as many people as possible. Collecting is about more than just the cards — it’s about the memories, nostalgia and the connection to the game. I’ve lived it firsthand, and I know how powerful that feeling is.”
