Keep us posted and GET THESE GUYS! You are hot on the trail already which is encouraging. Hope police are proactive as those are valuable cards and they have a person to put pressure on now in the seller.

...please keep us posted , eh......and listen , we all of us here feel your pain in something like this...

I spoke to the seller and he seemed honest as he is cooperative and working with authorities. I believe he got such a steal of a deal that he was ok with selling them low. The old saying goes "If it is too good to be true it usually is" still stands

I will for sure. Thank you for the support.

I hope you recover all 100% of these cards as this just makes my stomach turn. And I completely agree with the previous post that the grading certs definitely saved these cards. Keep us posted! All the best.

Sorry guys as I have been inundated with trying to piece our lives back to a sense of normalcy. The authorities are making great progress and will get these guys soon and will post more details. I have had some cards turned in but none after my threads listing my lost cards. Losing faith in the hobby and unfortunately probably won't ever see most of my collection surface ever again.

The background was I was going to work and was faced with two black guys that assaulted me for over an hour and then tied me up. They stole my car and went across the country selling my collection. My family and I live watching over out shoulders and will never get over the nightmare that came that day....

Are you ok physically ? Did you get your car back ? Did they invade your home to get the cards, and if so, was anyone in your family harmed ? Did they take stuff besides the car and cards ? Do you think you were targeted because of the cards, or was it a random attack ? Any insurance on the cards ? Hope they get these guys. The ongoing feeling of insecurity in the day to day lives of you and your family may be the biggest loss of all.
