Thankfully we have auction houses that would report this to the collecting community, and that would report it to the authorities when they were contacted by the person looking to sell them. If these cards were raw, there would have been no proof of whether or not the cards were the stolen ones.

It's great to see Rob have the presence of mind to put two and two together and help the authorities solve the crime, and the integrity to do the right thing.

It's also great to see Doug so concerned about an individual collector that he would go out of his way to make sure that everyone was aware of the situation - it's nice to see that profit is not the only motivator for an auction house.

Now these cards can be back in the hands of the collector who loves them and clearly was devastated by the prospect of not having them anymore. Now that the cards are back in his hands, and Doug is helping him protect them, he can be confident that he'll be able to keep the cards that are so near and dear to him forever. It's situations like this that make me proud to be a small part of this community. Kudos, guys!
