Ashish walked the show a lot but the young man did a great job of protecting his inventory.

His son was doing a Dallas show the same weekend so he obviously did not have all of his inventory in Boston but one showcase had $250K based on his stickers and he had 12 showcases with all graded cards.

Yes, probably if he had more security this would not have happened but this was not his first rodeo.

It is what it is. He is a nice guy who has been robbed. That should be our focus.

Any comments detrimental to him are a shame IMO. Mistakes and oversights happen no matter the care taken.

I hope his inventory is found intact and returned to him and he can turn the corner with his business.

I'm sure tighter safeguards will be in place at future shows.

Didn't think I said anything detrimental to Ash in my post tbh. I even said he was a good guy and dealer and that I did feel bad for him. I think it's great he's never had this problem at all the other shows he's done in the past, but he was lucky it didn't happen sooner with no security around. I mean, $2M in one case? Not to mention all the other inventory at the table. I do feel bad for him and hope these guys rot in hell for this, but my point is simple, pay for the security when you have that much money at you're table.
