Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 16:08 · Archive

Over $963,000 worth of graded Pokémon and sports cards were stolen from a FedEx truck outside Professional Sports Authenticator offices in Santa Ana, California.

Over 200 packages of graded trading cards were stolen from a FedEx truck parked outside Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) offices in Santa Ana, California on 13 October. The estimated value of the stolen items is $963,000, though this figure could increase as PSA confirms which cards were taken. Two pallets were stolen from the truck while a third was disrupted. The FedEx driver had left the locked vehicle parked at PSA's shipping and receiving address, but the lock was broken and the packages removed while the driver was away for between 60 and 90 minutes.

The stolen cards include Pokémon and sports trading cards being shipped back to their owners. The specific items lost have not been publicly identified. No arrests have been made and no merchandise has been recovered.

PSA's parent company, Collectors Holdings, said it is working with law enforcement and FedEx on the investigation. The company has deactivated the unique certification numbers for all identified stolen cards and notified marketplace partners to prevent resale. Collectors Holdings has contacted affected customers to arrange compensation based on fair market value up to the maximum insured value each customer selected before grading.
