Ben.
What can I say except that this shouldn't happen to anyone...especially a trustworthy and genuine collector like yourself. I think that many collectors on this board are aware of many of the cards in your collection and I will do my best to make sure that you are notified if I happen to see any of them popping up on ebay and other places.

Sorry this has happened to you Ben.

Ben -I too am very sad to hear this.

Dont exclude any of your friends and it is even possible the lanlord could have done it. I gasped as I read this story !

Absolutely someone knew of this...man, wish I could add comfort.

The best thing we all can is make a copy of the list, keep it on hand as we ebay along and keep your website photos. I just cannot imagine this and again very sorry Ben.

So sorry to hear about that Ben - I cant imagine how sh**ty you must feel right now. Hang in there; everyone in our community will be sending you good thoughts and keeping a vigilant eye out for your cards.

I am distressed to hear of this tragedy.
And we who love this hobby feel the depths of such a tragedy.

Thanks to each and every one of you for your condolences. I am still sort of in a state of shock, not really knowing what to do with myself while I wait for the police to show up. I keep telling myself, at least none of my family was hurt. This isn't the worst thing that could have happened....but it's damn close too it.

I forgot about the two cards I kept from my childhood that were also stolen:

1979 OPC Gretzky rookie (pulled that one from a pack as a kid )
1986 Fleer Jordan rookie

Thanks again to everyone who has posted here or emailed me in the past few hours. Whether or not the cards are found, I will find a way to get through this.

Ben, I'm really sorry to hear about this - I know what it feels like. When I was in college, I had a 1941 Play Ball Ted Williams stolen from my bedroom at home. It was my best card at the time and really broke my heart...it turned out to be a painter who was in the house painting a room in the attic. They caught him, but he had sold the card for drug money and I never saw it again. I got the chance to confront him and as angry as I thought I'd be, he was such a mess that it just made me more sad. Anyway, I hope you have better luck than I did!

All Best,
Geoff

Sorry is not really enough.

Definitely an inside job.
Sit back and think about potential thieves...
it just may come to you if you keep
an eye out - ironically enough.
