Cards Stolen From FedEx Truck After Leaving PSA Facility
A FedEx truck carrying PSA-graded cards was burglarized after leaving a PSA facility in Southern California.
The stolen items belonged to collectors who had sent cards to PSA, or Professional Sports Authenticator, to have them checked and graded.
Grading confirms a card's authenticity and condition, and can affect how much it is worth.
Collector Sky-B said his submitted collection was worth about $100,000 and had been insured for up to $156,000.
PSA says it will compensate affected customers based on fair market value, up to the maximum insured value they chose for each item.
The company has deactivated stolen-item certificates and alerted marketplace partners to watch for rare and numbered cards.
