Pokémon and sports card collectors outraged as PSA-graded cards stolen in delivery truck heist
Collectors sent their valuable trading cards to be PSA graded. They were stolen while in transport with FedEx.
Trading card and Pokémon collectors are outraged after valuable cards were stolen during a delivery truck heist. The incident involved collectors sending their cards to PSA, or Professional Sports Authenticator, for grading. On Monday, collectors received an email from PSA informing them that their cards had been stolen en route.
Images of the email quickly circulated on social media. PSA confirmed to Mashable that the thieves targeted a third-party shipping vehicle carrying PSA-graded items after it left their South California facility. The victims' orders were affected by the theft, and PSA has de-activated the certificates of the stolen items and notified commerce partners to help trace them.
They are working closely with FedEx and law enforcement to investigate the incident. PSA stated that their facility was not impacted and assured customers that they will compensate them for the stolen items based on their fair market value, up to the Maximum Insured Value.
