PSA Responds After More Than $100,000 Worth of Graded Trading Cards Stolen from FedEx Truck
Key Points:
- Over the weekend, a FedEx truck carrying hundreds of PSA-graded trading cards valued at over $100,000 was stolen, impacting numerous collectors including SKY-B, whose 104-card collection was taken after leaving Southern California.
- PSA has deactivated certificates for the stolen cards, notified commerce partners, and is collaborating with FedEx and law enforcement to investigate and recover the items, while offering compensation based on fair market value up to insured limits.
- SKY-B, who spent more than two years and $8,000 grading his collection, fears permanent loss of many irreplaceable cards and expressed concern that PSA's compensation may undervalue his collection due to insurance caps.
- Other collectors, including content creator Boston Card Hunter, report that the theft affected an estimated $500,000 in declared card value, with a compiled list of 383 serialized stolen cards spanning sports, anime, and trading card games.
- PSA emphasized its commitment to supporting affected customers and holding perpetrators accountable, while the incident has heightened awareness about the vulnerability of FedEx shipments in the trading card community.
