00:00Pokemon cards worth $10,000 reportedly stolen from Tom Brady's store.
00:06Tom Brady has stepped into a career of trading card collecting, but his new business venture was hit by a costly theft.
00:13Nearly $10,000 worth of Pokemon and baseball cards were reportedly stolen from the card vault by Tom Brady's store in New York City.
00:21Unfortunately, this has put the NFL legend's name in the headlines for a very different kind of loss.
00:26How did the daylight robbery unfold?
00:29The incident with the Pokemon cards at the Tom Brady store card vault in Soho happened on the morning of October 20th at 1140 a.m.
00:37According to the New York Police Department, a man entered the shop and selected high-value collectible cards.
00:43The suspect first tried to complete the purchase at the register using a credit card.
00:47However, the transaction was declined.
00:50Instead of leaving his items behind, he started to enter manual prompts into the contact payment terminal.
00:54This happened without the employee's knowledge and resulted in him bypassing the declined transaction.
01:00The employee thought that the payment had gone through.
01:03This is how the man walked out of the store with roughly $9,710 worth of cards.
01:09No one was injured during the incident, but the police are treating it as a case of grand larceny.
01:13They have also released surveillance images and videos of the suspect, who was seen wearing black clothes and a Yankees cap, also carrying a multicolored bag.
01:21As per the latest update from the NYPD, no arrests have been made, but the Financial Crimes Task Force is conducting an investigation.
01:29Furthermore, the specific Pokemon and baseball cards taken from Tom Brady's store haven't been announced either.
01:35It was reported earlier this year that Brady has acquired a 50% stake in Card Vault.
01:40It is a high-end card retailer with multiple stores across the United States.
01:45The NFL champion rose in the trading card world in recent years as both a collector and an investor.
