Apparently someone saw the card, but never saw the back. They broke into his store one night and stole the card. Not 100% sure, but I believe all he lost was that card

When baseball cards where in their heyday (late 80s / early 90s) we had several break-ins and attempted break-ins. Often the thieves walked away with junk we couldn't care less about, but occasionally they got some good stuff. Fortunately, it was all insured.
Oftentimes customers would ask, "What is your most expensive card?" I cringed a little every time I heard this because it made me wonder if they were "casing the joint".
