A burglary in Santa Ana, California, resulted in the theft of approximately $963,000 worth of Pokemon and other trading cards from a FedEx truck parked near the Professional Sports Authenticator facility on October 13. Police reported that two full pallets of cards and portions of a third pallet were taken. The stolen inventory consisted of items previously submitted to PSA for authentication and grading, intended for collectors and resale. PSA, the grading service, confirmed it had deactivated certificates for the missing cards and alerted its marketplace partners to watch for their appearance. The company stated it was cooperating with law enforcement and arranging compensation for affected customers based on fair market value. FedEx also acknowledged the incident and confirmed it was assisting authorities. Authorities have not yet determined the exact value of the stolen items, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The incident reflects a broader trend of high-value card thefts, which have grown more frequent as the market for rare collectibles has expanded.
