Over $900,000 in collectible cards stolen from FedEx truck in California
More than 200 graded Pokémon and sports cards were stolen from a FedEx truck parked outside the headquarters of professional grader PSA.
A shipment containing more than 200 graded collectible cards was stolen from a FedEx vehicle parked outside the Santa Ana headquarters of Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA). The company has valued the stolen inventory at approximately $963,000, though they note that this figure could rise as the full list of missing items is reconciled.
PSA's parent firm, Collectors Holdings, confirmed the theft and is currently working with local law enforcement and the logistics provider. To prevent the cards from entering the secondary market, the company has voided all serial numbers associated with the stolen items and notified major trading card marketplaces of the theft.
Customers affected by the incident are being processed for insurance claims, with payouts based on the fair market value selected at the time of submission, capped by the insurance coverage limits. Some collectors have begun crowdsourcing information on stolen serial numbers to track the inventory and prevent unauthorized sales.
