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

[Yoda]

In insurance lingo, this was a theft rather than a robbery, where violence or threats violence are directed at the policyholder. The policy would be some type of all risk personal property floater, perhaps manuscript to fit Ash's needs, subject to normal policy exclusions, eg. war nuclear etc. It should respond and pay his claim less any deductible. But, as Steve pointed out, if the policy is endorsed by stating security must be on the floor during setup and breakdown, then there might be a problem.
You can bet that the insurer has top knot loss adjusters working with the police or alone to solve this tragedy.

Top knot? Sounds like the name of a yacht lol.

And the policy likely would be a specific collectibles dealer policy, not some general loss policy, IMO.

Pretty sure this is a Jeremiah Johnson reference:

Yep, warning against being scalped, in the real sense, not in the sports ticket sense.

I wish I had a yacht named Top Knot.
You are right, the policy would be a specialized manuscript one rather than a run-of-the-mill property policy. I have forgotten the name of the group/agent that many here have used (Collectors Insurance?). I'm sure they have a special tailor-made policy for collectors and dealers.
