Chipping on front top left and bottom left corner also, as an identifier. Sorry to hear about this, hope the card is discovered and returned to owner.
Sincerely, Clayton *edit-just read Mike already pointed that out. Last edited by teetwoohsix; 08-07-2013 at 09:57 AM.

STOLEN 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle from recent National Convention
When I first read this post, I thought someone distracted a seller somehow and stole the card that way. But with 3 cards stolen, it sounds more like security was the ones who stole them. Cameras are needed. But they should be recording 24 hours a day.

It seems like each year there are more and more robberies at the show. I was robbed in Cleveland and there were a bunch of other items stolen at the show. Last year, we had a friend get robbed for a high end item. And then you start hearing about other robberies at the show. We were told there was a ring of professionals going around the show doing these robberies.. Since its known you would think they would really step up security .. maybe some real police in plain clothes? lots of cameras in the show and outside the show? And maybe- and yes it seems extreme- but lock the show down when you find out a high end item was stolen. My item was over 10k, the other persons item was over 40k and the mantles are far from cheap. Then when you hear about after show hour theft, it just makes things 1000x worse.
In regards to insurance, my claim was covered but then we were dropped by the insurance company that we had used for over 10 years and never made another claim with. Good luck to the people who had losses at the show. Matt

In my wandering around the show floor, it did occur to me how easily a thief or group of thieves could make off with some high $ stuff. At certain times there was so much commotion around some tables that there's no way the dealer(s) could keep an eye on everyone. Best bet I think for dealers is to keep all of the bigger $ cards locked in the big rectangular display cases, it would be difficult to have enough cameras setup to see everything clearly.

Would it help contacting the grading companies and giving them high-res scans of the stolen cards, so if they are attempted to be submitted then can recognize the card(s) and get them back to the owner(s)?
I'm sorry if someone mentioned this, I hadn't read thru every post yet

A California dealer had a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth in PSA 1 stolen at the show also. He said he thinks someone opened the case while he was distracted. He said he meant to get the locked cases, but hadn't ordered them yet.
