Memory Lane sold cards they didn't have per SCD

You’re actually going to take the time to sue ML in small claims court? And then take a judgment from one state and try to enforce it in another state?

I’m reminded of the great Morris Albert hit of 1977 “Feelings”.

Just curious - let's say the cards were found and a perp was arrested - would they have to be held as evidence until a trial? Or could ML sell them and ship them out to the winning bidders and use pictures/scans as evidence?

What if the perp was going to plead innocent. Doesn't that make it even more likely that law enforcement would hold on to the cards as evidence?

My guess is ML would care more about getting the cards to the auction winners than pressing charges. I have no doubt that’s all that matters to the auction house.

Interesting case for that amount of cards to be stolen and still auctioned!! Hate it for all the winning bidders especially the 14 CJ winners!

FYI Police detectives will only hold onto the cards as long as necessary to conduct their investigation. They would not be holding $2M worth or cards in property for the duration of a trial. All US courts are backlogged with cases since COVID so a case going to trial will likely take months to years.

Think about it if your 2020 Tesla was stolen and the police recovered it they certainly would not hold onto it for a trial to take place a year later. That would cause too many inconveniences especially if that was your only mode of transportation. Once the investigation is complete the property will be returned to the owner.

Yep. They pissed me off. Plus it'll be a fun learning experience.

Same state.
