Massive theft at Dallas card show, Nearly 2 Million Dollars worth of cards stolen

[sb1]

There were uniformed police officers walking the aisles and very visible throughout the entire show as well as a new group of uniformed expo service staff constantly patrolling the aisles during the show. However once the show was winding down, they were no where to be seen, at one of the most crucial times for potential theft..

Good point Steve, I produced a music festival for 25 years and learned fast to post security at all the vulnerable spots following the show until everybody who was not authorized had left the venue. Merch, alcohol, anything of value cuz some drunk people are dumb.

My vendors always had a buddy system during the show and especially on the load out with security back up checking in with each vendor.

Horrible what happened to Ash and I hope the perps get punished, maybe a good time to have a conversation about solutions to an increasing problem.

My emotions tell me a small explosive charge affixed to the latches of the case that will take your hands off but leave the cards intact if you get the combination wrong would meet out a little street justice.

Also like the Apple tracker idea coupled with a dye pack.

Are there any higher resolution photographs of the cards ?
So the public can look out for them ,
PSA deactivated cards involved from the online verification .

Yep. That is an issue now because higher resolution reference pics are gone. They should have deactivated the certs and left the pics up. Many times , PSA actions leave me dumbfounded
