Hi Howard,
I've actually had stolen cards returned to me twice-- once by the PD in Phoenix and the other by the Sheriff's Dept. in Flagstaff. I also had some others appear at a show in Phoenix and a board member/dealer here tipped me off, leading to their return. Finally, I once "won" the Ebay auction for a stolen card and showed up at the seller's shop (a coin dealer in Phoenix) and told them I'd been in contact the local PD, leading to that card's return--although I paid him some amt he claimed to have in it to be fair. Given all these events, I don't know if I should consider myself very lucky or very unlucky.
BTW, I have contacted the seller.

Do you think it might be a good idea to contact the seller and ask them how they came about this card?
I have had cards stolen from me via the USPS several times and I've always searched them out on eBay to see if I can catch the thief. This is the first time that I have ever seen this happen. I hope that you track down this thief.
