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

Of all the places the cards could be sold, selling to a pawn shop would IMO be the last resort. But they have to be sold somewhere. Like pawn shops, card shops would also be a fairy low return.

However, I'd be willing to bet that some of these thieves are not the sharpest tools in the shed, and at some point might get desperate and make a mistake. If they have to pay a bill or some other expense, they may try to flip a couple of cards for quick cash. It's possible.

The main point is that to catch these guys, every option must be considered, no matter how remote. That's my belief anyway.

I was in well known card shop the other day, and a guy walked up to me while I was in the store and showed me some pictures on his phone of raw cards and asked if I would like to buy them. My first thought was that they were stolen. I just walked away.
