Help- Stolen T202 card

[Archive]

Posted By: Don Poley

Unfortunately I had a T202 stolen today in Tampa, FL. I had just picked the card up at the post office and set the card aside while I was schlepping my 9 month old and all the baby gear around. When I went back for the rest of my gear, including the card that I had just picked up, it was gone.

The card is a Hassan Triple Folder, Evers Makes a Safe Slide with Ruelbach/Archer on the end panels. The card is currently in a PSA 7 holder, Cert. No. 31614663.

Here's a link to a photo of the card from when I bought it on ebay.

I'd appreciate your help keeping a look out.

Thanks everyone.

Sorry to hear about that....did you ask the post office to check their surveillance cameras? They might have gotten the thief on tape?

Sure hate to hear stories like that. The thief will not have a clue what a T202 is, and may bring it to a pawnshop. If there are any in the area, or local card stores, I would alert them.

Thanks for your good suggestions- I'll be contacting card shops and I've filed a report with the Tampa PD- not because I think there's a snowball's chance they will do anything or find it, but in case the card pops up somewhere like ebay I figure having filed a report will help me in my attempt to have the card restored to me.

Years ago when I was in the Health Club business we would occassionaly have lockerroom breakins or cars in the parking lots. 9 out of 10 times a quick check in the trash cans inside and dumpsters right outside would be the purse, wallet, gym bag, etc, with all the contents, less cash. the thieves did not want to get caught with anything traceable, they just wanted cash.

It may be too late now, but you may want to ask the Post Office when the trash is removed, the entire baby bag may be in it.

Maybe run a 'lost' ad with reward, in the Tribune?

People are creatures of habit. Most folks go to the Post Office at certain times. Each of us probably have 3 or 4 times we're most likely to be there. Go back for a few days a bit earlier than you were, and hang out. See if anyone looks familiar. And maybe post a scan of the card at the PO with a LOST notice above it, maybe the "finder" will come forward. Maybe.
