A few cards stolen- couple questions

[smtjoy]

Hi all,

Well while working out with a trainer I had my truck broke into and a number of christmas gifts and stuff stolen, including a number of cards I had purchased last week. It hurts losing a couple of the cards but I will get over it. I will post a couple of the ebay pics so people can keep an eye out for the items. That said I have a policy under Collectibles Insurance Agency and with the card amounts I paid on ebay I have over $700 to claim. This will be the first time I have used them for a claim so does anyone have any advice for filing a claim? I hope everything goes smooth with the claim and I will let the board know just how it was handled by them.

I have slim hope of recovering the cards but I plan to do everything possible. The good news is a couple of them are not cards/tickets you see everyday and can be ided easy plus two were graded. I am hoping the thieves slip up and try to sell them on ebay or craigslist, which I will be watching (more help watching is great too). I am also thinking about putting an add in the paper here that im buying old baseball cards and hope they are trying to move them fast and might call. I know of one card store near here that I will visit tomorrow but could use help if anyone knows any other card stores in the Houston area that i can call and notify that would be a big help.

That about sums it up but if anyone else has any ideas please let me know and yes a police report will be filed.

Sorry to hear about this. We have CIA insurance for our auction company but, thank goodness, we haven't had to file a claim yet. I don't have many good answers for you but I can help a little by not letting this drop off of the page for several days......I would stick it at the top but that might be overkill. Let us know how it goes, as it goes. I hope the thieves get caught. regards

Hi Scott,

That is a terrible thing. I will keep an eye out for any of those items and let you know if I spot them offered for sale. I don't have any great advice for you, but I wish you well with the insurer and your efforts to replace the lost items.

Cheers,
Blair

Really sorry to hear about this, Scott. I hope it works out as well as can be expected.

Scott,

I think there is a good chance you will get these back and they will catch the idiots who did this. They have no idea what they have and will either sell them to the card store or a pawn shop. Maybe the internet but I hope you get them back this really sucks.

I'm sorry to hear about this, Scott. Hopefully, whoever took them will get caught trying to sell them. Maybe someone will recognize the Obak. How many 3s of Baker have such nice corners? If it turns up on eBay, it should be easy to recognize ...

Scott, thanks for posting this. Sorry for the misfortune.

Please do keep us advised on how your claims process goes. You're blazing a trail that some of us need to understand as we hope we never travel that direction. Wish you well with it.
