In California from the truck FedEx stole collectible cards for $ 1 million

Collector cards worth about $1 million were stolen from a FedEx truck in Santa Ana, California. This is reported by CBS with reference to the city police.

The incident occurred on October 13. The truck was parked outside the office of Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), a company that evaluates the quality of collectible cards.

Police said two pallets of goods were stolen and the contents of the third were "damaged." On the pallets were a variety of collectible cards, including sports and cards from the Pokemon series. “The estimated value of the cards was $963,000. However, the exact value of the stolen can only be determined after scanning the remaining boxes, the Santa Ana Police Department said in a statement.

YouTuber, known under the pseudonym SKY-B Cards, was among the collectors whose valuable assets were affected. According to him, he was waiting for the delivery of a parcel with collectible cards, passed professional assessment (grading), when he received a notification that the shipment will not arrive. “This order contained cards that could not be replaced. To be honest, it’s the worst feeling I’ve ever had, he said.

His personal order included more than 100 cards, the cost of which he estimates at more than $100,000. “104 cards are either incredibly rare copies or unique cards in a single copy,” he explained.

The PSA said it was working closely with law enforcement as part of the investigation. “We have revoked certificates for stolen items and notified partner marketplaces so they can track the occurrence of these rare and numbered items. Our support team has contacted affected customers directly and is dealing with compensation issues based on fair market value.
