This show, hosted by Joe La Puma, comes on the heels of the popular "Sneaker Shopping" franchise, also hosted by La Puma. The first episode of "Card Shopping" features NFL quarterback legend Tom Brady as he shops at his recently acquired card franchise, Card Vault by Tom Brady.
Brady discusses his childhood collection, his biggest career moments and also looks at cards that shape his current collection.
Brady has become a face of Fanatics' dive into cards over the past couple of years. He has partnered with Fanatics in a number of ways from the 'Geaux Brady' commercial that re-imagined his life if he became a baseball star instead of football legend, to running around last year's Fanatics Fest and popping up at card shops during Topps Hobby Rip Night.
Beyond Brady's dive into the hobby, the cards on which he is featured have been some of the most highly valuable ones to ever hit the market. His 2000 Playoff Contenders Championship Ticket Rookie Autograph, which is numbered to just 100 copies, has sold for millions several times over.

There have been more than 20 sales of that card in the past four years that have realized at least $1 million with the most expensive being a $3.8 million private sale in 2022, according to Card Ladder.
Brady starts the "Card Shopping" segment showing off his childhood card collection, which probably looks similar to many collectors of a certain generation: a three-ring binder that resembled a photo album with holographic MLB team stickers adorning the front.
He showed off favorite players, which included Roger Clemens, Eric Davis and other stars of that generation, keeping the junk wax-era cards in nine-pocket pages.
Of course, since the name of the series is called "Card Shopping," Brady did end up buying a card to add to his collection, but you will have to watch the premiere episode to find out.

HC Mike Elko is highly confident in Texas A&M's veteran 2025 offensive line
HC Mike Elko is highly confident in Texas A&M's veteran 2025 offensive line During Mike Elko's assistant coaching career, which included his three year stint as Texas A&M's defensive coordinator (2018-2021), he experienced one of the Aggies' best seasons since the memorable 2012 campaign during the 9-1 2020 COVID-inflicted season, which included an elite performance from Texas A&M's offensive line. Throughout the offseason, included during Wednesday's Houston Coach's Night, Elko has continued to emphasize Texas A&M's veteran offensive line that includes every returning starter from the start of the 2024 season, including center Mark Nabou, who missed the season's entirety after an early lower body injury. Elko also mentioned Texas A&M's deep running back room, headlined by senior back Le'Veon Moss. "If you think back to the core of the 2020 football team, the offensive line is where it all started. We bring back all four tailbacks. That is not something you see all the time." This group's size, experience, and NFL potential, especially left tackle Trey Zuhn, left guard Chase Bisontis, and right guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams, are considered some of the best at their positions, and will provide a significant impact in both pass pro and run blocking. For starting quarterback Marcel Reed, his success starts in the trenches, as the redshirt sophomore looks to improve as a pocket passer, which is vital if the Aggies plan to make it through their tough schedule and earn the program's first College Football Playoff berth. The running game will be emphasized, which is a staple of OC Collin Klein's scheme, but know that when opposing defenses shut down the run game, Marcel Reed will be looked at to take full control from the pocket and deliver strikes down the field, and will solid pass protection, Elko is confident that his starting signal caller can get the job done if the line holds up.

Steelers RG Mason McCormick on rookie learning curve — ready for Year 2 breakout
Steelers RG Mason McCormick on rookie learning curve — ready for Year 2 breakout Mason McCormick's successful rookie season was one of the biggest surprises of 2024 — but the Steelers right guard is looking forward to what Year 2 has in store. McCormick — who was drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft — explained to reporters on Day 5 of OTAs the improvements he's looking to make in his second season (courtesy of Steelers Live): "Last year, as a rookie, there's kind of a lot of thinking — 'How do I hit this block?' or 'How do I do this?'" McCormick explained. "I just want all of that stuff to become second nature so I can really fine-tune the little details and stuff like that — which, I feel like it has been. I haven't really forgot anything from last year. Through the offseason, I've really hit the ground running, and I feel like [the Steelers offensive line is] ready to take that step." McCormick will join fellow second-year Steelers starting offensive linemen RT Troy Fautanu and C Zach Frazier in helping Pittsburgh's offensive line finally come together in 2025.
