As each day passes without news it’s not a good sign. Perhaps these guys had subtle disguises. My guess is they headed south of the border based on the fact that at least two were identified as Hispanic. The investigators surely know things they aren’t sharing with the general public but by now it has to be clear that these thieves may have been more clever and well planned than most people thought. Furthermore I doubt these cards resurface any time soon. But I suppose time could prove me all wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time that happened. Given the fact that nobody in the card community could ID these guys it would suggest they are outsiders. The cards and their scheduled locations were all over FB groups and I don’t know how many people knew about them via these groups but it had to be upwards of 100,000.

I'm not sure why so many people expected arrests to happen so quickly in this case. It took about a month for an arrest in the Memory Lane theft, and there was probably a better starting point for the police in that case because they could at least get a list of employees of the hotel where they were stolen from that would have potentially had access to them.

Maybe one of them idiotically used their debit/credit card somewhere near/in the venue on camera? That's about it, and I'd like my 70k if that turns out to be how they find them. See timestamp

I suspect 98% of criminal investigations take longer than Joe Q. Public expects.

Didn't the Memory Lane thief get busted because they tried to sell some of the cards to a local card shop? Pretty much the worst move a person can make.

He got arrested cause he was one of only a couple people could've had access to the box and promptly resigned the next day (prior to the theft being discovered). Good way to make it easy

This is what I read from this article:
https://sportscollectorsdigest.com/n...spect-arrested "Sports Collectors Daily reported that Strongsville police raided a local home Thursday morning and found 52 of 54 cards. According to police, Paxton allegedly attempted to sell some of the cards to a local card shop." |

I kind of agree but I'm thinking it's more like about 96.32%

I continue to flattered, maybe a little perplexed, by your efforts to monitor my posts. Five years later you were still throwing in my face a single comment I made by PWCC. A little odd. Last edited by Snapolit1; 07-16-2024 at 01:26 PM. |

I kind of agree with Ted (hopefully I’m wrong) but you may see these cards start popping up a decade from now under a new “guise” if there’s close ups of the cards I’d start examining them. Forget the holders & serial numbers they are useless at this point unless they are recovered.

LOL, I just happened to remember your supreme confidence at the start of the thread and pointed it out, I would hardly call that trolling you Steve. Trust me I don't so don't be flattered.
