Exactly. If the package is marked as delivered and signed by someone, then good luck getting your money back from your insurer.

OP: do you know if there was information on the box that would have made a thief interested in it?

I know some AHs don't do this, but I've received auction winnings in a package that clearly indicates it's from an auction house, which isn't great.

Notify the police and get a lawyer. Start legal proceedings to get FedEx and their driver to testify. Otherwise your card and the money you paid for the card have probably both disappeared.

LOL some of the advice on this board is really misguided.

I'd suggest reporting the card to PSA as stolen and asking them to de-certify it. Also, contact the editors at Sports Collectors Daily, SCD, cllct, etc., and ask them to report on the stolen card. Just to make it harder for the thief to flip it. You might also offer a reward of a few thousand dollars through your local PD for info leading to the return of the card, and ask the hobby press to report on it too. FWIW, I will mention the theft in my next blog. Sunlight is a strong disinfectant, so to speak.

For ten points, whose quote was that originally?

My favorite is to track down and confront the delivery driver. Pretty sure that would go well. Sometimes I seriously wonder if a few posters just post the silliest thing they can think of.

How dumb of everyone to give advice!! We completely forgot to just let YOU respond since obviously your advice is all that matters. Please, forgive us all.

I actually had a situation where I had a Derek Jeter minor league autographed bat being delivered via FEDEX from the New York Yankees. I always make sure I'm home the day I have deliveries coming, and I meet the delivery driver at the door. FEDEX truck pulls up, driver leans the box on my door, then quickly runs back to his truck. I opened the door, saw that one end of the box was open, and yelled to the driver to come back. I showed him the opened box (No doubt in my mind that he knew it was open), had him call FEDEX to tell them the box was empty, and that I was on my way to FEDEX.

I get to FEDEX, and the manager had me wait in his office, while he went to check. 45 minutes later, the manager comes in with the bat. Said they found the bat in one of the bins, so it must have fell out of the box, which I knew was a bunch of bull crap.

No doubt a FEDEX employee saw on the box that it came from the New York Yankees, knew it was a bat box, and attempted to steal it.

I was lucky that this worked out for me.
