Tom Brady, Emma Roberts, Logan Paul are chasing elusive Steph Curry and Brady cards too
NEW YORK — Actress and avid sports and Star Wars card collector Emma Roberts posed a question so many within the hobby still ask aloud: Where is Stephen Curry's 2009 Topps Chrome Superfractor? The one-of-a-kind Curry rookie card that would be worth millions has never surfaced despite collectors searching for more than 15 years. Advertisement Fellow card and memorabilia collector Logan Paul sat back with a wry smile and a bit of a 'cat ate the canary' look on his face. 'You know where that is?' Roberts asked Paul. 'You have that secretly?' 'I don't know. Ain't that the question,' Paul replied. 'Wait, what do you know?' Roberts said. 'I really don't know,' Paul said. 'Does he know something?' Roberts queried. 'No, I don't know. It's something that excites me,' Paul said. 'Hmmm! Hmmm!' Roberts said. 'I don't know anything!' Paul said. This type of card shop banter with Roberts, Paul and Tom Brady during Fanatics Fest's 'Ready. Set. Collect.' panel turned a social media/WWE star, an actress and a seven-time Super Bowl winning quarterback into your average card collectors discussing their shared love for trading cards in probably the most relatable fireside chat of the star-studded event. The near 45-minute conversation guided by Chris Costa, Brady's partner in the Card Vault by Tom Brady hobby shop franchise, brought out the same card collecting energy from the trio that so many hobby enthusiasts possess. '(Hype) that's why we collect. It's awesome,' Paul said. 'But it depends why you collect it, right? There's a lot of reasons why people collect. Whether it's for the rush of hitting the card that you want in the pack rip. Or you love that feeling of nostalgia. Or you like the idea of holding an asset that could potentially be appreciated. I do all three. I love everything about it.' For her reasoning, Roberts zeroed in on the one word to describe what everyone figuratively lives and dies on while collecting cards. She harkened back to the first time she pulled a short-printed Star Wars sketch card at her local hobby shop Cards and Coffee on Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles. A post shared by Emma Roberts (@emmaroberts) 'I mean every time I buy a box where I'm always like, 'Please let it be in here. Please let it get in here,'' Roberts said. 'Yeah. And then sometimes your day is just trash. And then other times you're like — we call it 'sketch energy' days. We need sketch energy today.' And while Roberts' sketch energy may appear to be channeling the elusive Curry rookie card, it's actually her stagemate's baseball card she's after. As in Brady's 2023 Bowman Draft autographed card, depicting him in an Expos uniform, that's serial numbered 12/50 — Brady's jersey number — with his inscription reading 'If baseball doesn't work out, there's always football.' Advertisement 'My fiance started chasing the Tom (Brady) inscription card in Bowman (Draft) '23. And so he got me hooked on the chase. And so for every holiday, whether it's Valentine's Day or Christmas or birthdays, we'd buy each other a box in hopes of finding Tom. We've yet to find him, but we will never, ever give up.' She admitted that she's found no Brady cards at all in the product, calling it, 'striking out left and right.' But, Roberts and her fiance entered a box break online and landed an autographed Brady card (a sticker autograph, she pointed out, rather than an on-card auto, which displayed Roberts' acumen for the hobby). The problem initially was that the two went on a hike during a vacation while the break occurred and were unable to watch it live because neither of their phones found cell service. They learned of their 'hit' once back in civilization and it's become one of Roberts' favorite cards in her collection. As for her grail card, not even Brady can help her out since the card is either still in an unopened pack or someone pulled the card and hasn't revealed to the world the occurrence happened. 'I have a feeling you're going to beat me to it,' Brady said. 'I hope I do. I hope someone does,' Roberts said. And while most of the conversation sounded like something anyone in the Javits Center audience just steps away from the card show portion of the Fest could have, Paul couldn't help flexing his prized card: a 1998 Pokemon Pikachu Illustrator Holo card with a gem mint 10 grade by PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), which was on display at the event's 'Museum of Greatness.' 'It takes a really bold — and maybe 'stupid' is the word,' Paul said. 'Stupid. I don't know. I don't know what it is. It takes a bold person to spend $5 million on a piece of cardboard.' Advertisement Then there were the stories of missed hobby opportunities, where Paul and Roberts sounded once again like your average collector. Roberts asked Paul if he had his original Pokemon cards because 'I would trade them for snacks in second grade.' 'You probably traded like a first edition Charizard that could have been worth like $250K,' Paul said. 'It's a tale as old as time.' 'It's a heartbreaking hobby,' Roberts said. She almost broke her own heart during what turned out to be her biggest baseball card 'hit' to date. Roberts relived a moment after she scored a Jackson Holliday one-of-one rookie card as one of her biggest hits from a pack. 'I may have kind of dropped it a tiny bit, but we saved it in time and it's been PSA-graded a 10, I'll have you know,' Roberts said. 'It didn't hit the ground. I fumbled it. I fumbled it because I got very nervous.' The panel wrapped up with Roberts' questions surrounding the whereabouts of the coveted Brady and Curry cards left unanswered. So what did she do next? Hit the card dealer tables residing behind the audience seating area, of course. And while she didn't find her grail cards there either, Roberts purchased packs of cards for two children, where one of them pulled a Shohei Ohtani rookie card.

She uploaded a snap of herself at the time as she held the card and placed one of her hands over her mouth in excitement. In text added towards the top of the photo, Emma penned to her followers: 'the face of pulling my most covered 1/1. #1of1day @topps.' And earlier this year in April, the beauty shared a photo dump onto her main page - and showcased more cards that she had pulled. One of them included an autographed Caleb Williams card - who is known as the quarterback of the Chicago Bears. Roberts was pictured sitting at a table inside what appeared to be restaurant with cards and unopened foil packages placed in front of her.

On the stage, she was also joined by retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady as well as Logan Paul. The Scream Queens alum wore a sleeveless, dark blue-patterned dress which was paired with sheer black tights and heels. Her reddish locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. The star - who has previously sported blonde locks - debuted the new hair color earlier this year in February. Just days earlier before whisking herself to NYC, the actress put on a stylish display as she enjoyed time in Mykonos, Greece. On Tuesday, she attended the Zimmerman Summer lunch and wore a patterned sundress as well as a pair of open-toed, tan pumps. Her locks were styled into two braids and she also carried a fashionable bag in her hands to hold items she needed during the event.

She wore a semi-sheer dress that fell down past her ankles at the Zimmerman Summer event. Other stars were also in attendance including actress Olivia Wilde. While Roberts recently revealed her passion for trading cards, the star has another known hobby: reading books. Back in 2017, she notably launched the online reading community Belletrist with close friend Karah Preiss. During an interview with People last year, Emma opened up about choosing books for the club and admitted that 'there is no formula.' She added, 'It's genuinely whatever moves us. But I will say try to pick books that we read and then need to talk about. That's what makes a good Belletrist pick. You read it and you're like: I gotta talk to someone about this - now!' Roberts has been in a relationship with actor Cody John since 2022, and the couple announced their engagement last year in July. The actress is also mom to son Rhodes, four - whom she shares with ex Garrett Hedlund.

The Simple Way Emma Roberts Prepares for Travel Mishaps—and Her Very Relatable In-flight Routine
Though Emma Roberts is a busy actress ( American Horror Story, " Madame Web"), producer (Hulu's hit series Tell Me Lies ), and mother to 4-year-old son, Rhodes, you will often find her with her head in a book, especially when she is traveling. She says books are what get her through those pesky flight delays we all experience. 'I always prepare for them with books and good stuff downloaded to watch,' she told Travel + Leisure recently. She has a slew of other clever travel hacks up her sleeve, including skincare tips, the best travel uniform ever, and what she always has in her carry-on. Emma while away on a tropical vacation. In order to survive a trip, whether it is for business or leisure, the actress always travels with Kiko Milano under-eye patches and Lumify Eye Drops. She says her go-to plane activity is reading with a glass of Champagne, which often leads to a nap, for which she dons her Drowsy Sleep Mask. With her in-flight routine down to a science, it's no surprise Roberts has also perfected her travel uniform. Her go-to is Aritzia sweatpants with a black hoodie and the Visvim backpack in black. 'It is the best travel bag I have ever owned!' she told T+L. And what will you find inside her bag? 'Always bring fuzzy, warm socks in your carry-on!' She also always packs a deck of cards in her carry-on to play solitaire, 'or perhaps gin if someone else knows how!' Window or aisle seat? Window always! When do you arrive at the airport? So early, sometimes my friends meet me later. Best tips for jet lag? Stay awake. Who from Tell Me Lies would you travel with? Let's all plan a trip! Bucket list trip? I would love to do a train trip through Ireland with my son! He is obsessed with trains, so I think it would be magical to do that with him. Also, a safari in Africa is what my mom and I always talk about! Roberts is an avid reader, so she started an online book club called Belletrist Book Club with her good friend Karah Preiss back in 2017. The club teamed up with Penguin Random House and Apple Vacations in March to create a program called Pages in Paradise. Dubbed the 'ultimate beach read program,' its aim is to provide book lovers with the ultimate vacation at nine Dreams Resorts and Spas across Latin America and the Caribbean with a curated library and book-centric events. As someone whose trip is very impacted by the books she brings, the collaboration is a passion project for Roberts. 'Honestly, the idea came from a very real personal struggle—I've always found it tricky to pack the right book for a vacation. I'll think I'm in the mood for historical fiction, but then I get to the beach and suddenly all I want is a good memoir or a timeless classic. Pages in Paradise is really a dream come true in that sense—it's a curated library filled with authors Karah and I love, designed for people to discover the perfect book that matches their vacation vibe,' she told T+L. She admits that this also helps save room in her carry-on. 'And selfishly, it saves me from packing five books, just in case, because I'm definitely someone who can tear through multiple reads on a beach day! No more overthinking or overweight suitcases!' One of her vacation reads by the pool. As for what Roberts will read on her next trip, she says, 'I love a novel for the summer, and in the fall I tend to gravitate more towards memoirs! I haven't figured out why. Right now, I'm starting 'The Quick and the Dead' by Joy Williams.'
