Stolen cards

Hey Folks,
I didn't really want to drag up the old thread but want to keep this topic afloat for a while longer...here is a cut and paste from Doug Allen....

"I am pleased to announce that a portion of the cards stolen over a week ago have been recovered! Early indication is that a good amount of the Topps cards and regional issues are back home where they belong. None of the pre-war cards have been returned but I am pretty sure they will turn up. Actually they are easier to locate than the 50's issues. We have called every hobby shop and pawn shop in the area. The support we have gotten has cast a pretty wide net.

Anyways keep on the look out for the Cracker Jacks, M116's, M101s etc. We will keep you updated.

Thanks again for all your support!!!

All the best,
Doug"

''Interesting article about an elderly man from Chicago that had his collection stolen 1 day after a major auction house gave him a 250K offer/estimate. I find that rather odd don't you?''

Edited to say...I have no idea if this is true but found the post interesting nonetheless!

Might be the same one. I doubt the gentleman was selling as it was his lifelong passion, but ya never know. Yahoo boards are usually for yahoo's but I am glad this got brought back up...so we can continue to be on the lookout for the other cards......best regards
