Gosh, I hate hearing this. Please let us know what we can do to help.
If you have saved pictures of the key stolen items, perhaps consider starting a new thread containing those images. If anything surfaces, maybe we can nail these creeps. Very sorry about this! Last edited by perezfan; 05-14-2014 at 08:31 PM.

Joey,
This is just terrible. I think everyone has the right idea. Get the word out to everyone as fast as you can. Hopefully the guy will get caught real soon. Just glad that no one was hurt. Best, Mark

Joey, this really sucks. I feel awful after reading this. I'm so sorry this happened. I hope the guy that stole your collection gets hit by a bus.
Did you have insurance on any of your collectibles? If you didn't have a specific policy covering your collection, contact your home owners insurance provider, and see if they provide any coverage. I'm not real familiar with your collection. How many of your cards are graded? Make up a list of your graded cards, and their serial numbers. From that list, as has been suggested, contact local pawnshops and dealers with pictures you might have. Watch Ebay, auction houses, Craig's List, etc. If you see any of you cards (ones with matched serial #s), contact whomever is hosting the auction/sale, and let them know that your stolen property is listed. You might be asked to provide proof. Once that's done, you shouldn't have any difficulty getting the info for the person selling your cards. Then, you can get the local authorities involved. If you provide any info you have about your cards, post it here. I for one will keep my eyes peeled, and if I see anything of yours, I'll let you know what I saw, and where I saw it. This idiot is going to make a mistake.

Very sorry to hear this. It happened to me, and more than once. There's some good advice given here, and it does work. Don't know where you live, but I'm in Phoenix, and would have thought it impossible to ever recover my cards in a city this size. I was greatly impressed with Phoenix PD, who recovered almost all of the cards stolen in my second burglary and was entirely professional throughout the whole ordeal. Same for Flagstaff--two hours north--when I contacted the local sheriff's dept after seeing one of my cards being auctioned on ebay, they sent a deputy out and I had my card back in less than a week. I'm also forever grateful to Marty.Pritchard (allmartys stuff) for noticing my cards (from first burglary) being offered by a walk-in at a show and agreeing to buy them (insufficient security to do much else)--I of course had to pay to get them back but at least they were found.
My point is get the word out and trust law enforcement--even though they have more pressing concerns they will take the matter seriously.

I feel bad for you, Joey. Losing my collection would be a big monetary blow but I think the psychological would be worse.
I have nothing to add to what's already been advised. Good luck!
