Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a person sought for questioning in connection with a grand larceny last month at a trading card shop in Manhattan owned by Tom Brady.
Nearly $10,000 worth of Pokémon cards and baseball cards were taken in the incident, which unfolded just before noon on Oct. 20 at the business on Lafayette Street in SoHo, according to a statement from the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.
Police said a man entered the store and brought the items to the register. His credit card was declined, but he allegedly entered prompts into the terminal manually that overrode the system, without the employee’s knowledge, an NYPD spokesperson said in the statement.

The store, CardVault by Tom Brady, had opened weeks prior. There are multiple locations including one at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey.
Authorities described the individual sought as a man with a medium complexion, who was seen wearing a black Yankees cap, black sweatshirt, black shorts and white sneakers. He was carrying a tote bag with a cartoon character on it.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS. Police say all calls are kept confidential.
