Publciticy about the theft is important. The more said; the more people know and thus the chance of stuff returning is better.

No guarantees but the odds do improve

I don't see this posted on any other boards but this one.

....this recent theft ended rather well for the collector - other than an older car being torched and the perp getting off essentially scott-free.

I just posted a link to this thread, over at CU (the PSA Sports Cards & Memorabilia Forum).

Hopefully, someone will see or hear something.

I'm reprising the initial post here to add some new new cards to the list.

A long-time friend of mine (and perhaps some of you) arrived home this week to find his house broken into. The better part
of his BB card collection was stolen. It includes vintage BB & post-war cards that he has collected over the past 40 years.

I'm posting this here to alert everyone, in hopes that this collection might be recovered. Here are the highlights of it..........

100+ Old Judge's

521-card T206 set....in Ex (or better) condition....includes Plank (ungraded), the four Cobb's are ungraded
..............70 - T206's are Graded....Chase (pink) is PSA 5, Keeler (bat) is PSA 6 (68 others range from PSA 5 to PSA 7)

T201, T202, T205 and T207 sets

1920's Strip (W-type) card sets......including W514 Joe Jackson

Note......
All above T-cards and W-cards are in the miniature size top-loader plastics.

1933, '34, '35, '36 Goudey sets in Near Mint condition

Near Mint, near complete Master set of 1952 Topps (500+ cards)

Perhaps SGC / PSA / BVG should be alerted?
