Trading cards were reportedly stolen from a FedEx truck parked outside Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) in Santa Ana, California. The missing shipment included sports cards and Pokémon cards, including items that had been graded by PSA.
The alleged theft was reported on October 13, after the driver noticed that the truck’s lock was missing. The driver checked inside and reportedly found that the cargo had been disturbed. Investigators were trying to determine how long the truck had been left unattended before the theft was discovered.
The missing shipment included two pallets of cards, and boxes taken from a third. Each pallet held about 100 cases, but investigators did not know how many individual cards were missing. The stolen property was first valued at $963,000. That estimate was based on the information available when the theft was reported. After further investigation, police believed the total could be higher, but they had not determined the full amount.
