An Army veteran, a Tom Brady rookie card and a man named Jim Brown: An incredible story of destiny

He stuffed Tom Brady into a canvas pouch, and then hung the precious cargo around his neck.

He wore a sweatshirt over the top of the neck pouch to conceal Tom Brady from the passengers on the redeye flight from Southern California to New Jersey, where he would find out if Brady was worth all this anxiety.

Attorney Jeff Korinko said he was so nervous on that flight, with Brady hidden under his shirt, that he feared his sweat would seep through the neck pouch and damage the greatest quarterback of all time.

In September, a guy named Jim Brown (not that Jim Brown) in Southern California had found a very valuable Tom Brady football card in a dusty cardboard box.
