BOLO Missing T206 Matty Portrait LOCATED!!

[mantlefan]

This card disappeared from my showcase Booth 1248 at the National sometime on Saturday July 29th. I'd really appreciate a heads up if anyone sees it pop up anywhere. Thanks.

That sucks Frank. Do you have a back scan in case they break it out of the holder it's in and try and sell it.

[mantlefan]

Added back scan. Thanks Pat. Note the print marks along the top border. Not sure how PSA missed that, but it does give the card a "fingerprint".

[Huck]

That sucks. Do you have an inkling as to how the theft transpired? With the reported crowds it was likely easier to get a hand in a case.

[mantlefan]

Yes, the card was in the corner of the front row of my showcase, easy pickings. My bad. Next year the good stuff will be in the last row.

Do your display cases have the side acrylic side panels like the case in the following link?

I play with the idea of eventually setting up at show, hence the questions. I would be beyond pissed if some lowlife stole cards. You must have other high priced material, because I would have kept one eye fixed on the Matty. I am sure it was chaotic busy with sales being made and boom card is gone.

Thanks.

Just found it as well. I wonder if all the other guys cards for sale are stolen as well...? Won't out it because I want the cops to find him before he knows we know. Assuming that's what the op wants as well.

[Huck]

I hope it works out.

First, I’m so happy you found this card. Second, I had this childlike hope when I opened this thread that there was going to be an “aww, shucks” moment where you misplaced it somehow. But, humans being humans, it wasn’t the case.

So, how do you get the card back? I’m definitely curious.

Brian has reached out to the guy on Facebook and we await his reply. We have his name and location and I have a copy of my REA invoice and pictures of the card in my case in Chicago. I'm hopeful I'll get Matty back, preferably without involving the police.

Do you think the FB guy is the thief or just an innocent purchaser from the thief?
