Stolen vintage card collection be on the lookout

[cardsfan73]

What did the seller say when you notified them they were selling stolen property?

The Banks PSA 8 sold for $325 about 1/2 what the last 2 8's sold for. If this is one of your cards the rest will move fast at this discount rate.

Thanks for being on the lookout. The Ebayer has been cooperative and turning in the rest of the items back to the authorities as he had six of the cards from the 56 registry. Looks like the crooks are piecing out my set which is tearing me up inside as it will be difficult to track back my entire set.

They were skeptical which is what I expect from many sellers but after talking to authorities were cooperative and understanding as many of honest people have been.

I am really sorry this happened to you and hope you can recover the cards.

Good luck,
Scott

For all the people who are "anti-grading"; the ease of ID"ing these cards in holders.

There are some real advantages to TPG and this is one of them

Very good point, Rich. It was only by the serial numbers that he'll get some (and hopefully most or all) of his cards back.

What about the eBay seller that sold some of your cards? Where did he say he got them?

I really hope I do but my goal is also to prevent mayhem from ensuing when honest buyers are buying these cards not knowing it is stolen property and to have them confiscated.

Who puts up a BIN that low , then immediately accepts an offer even lower ?...if the very-high-dollar theft occurred in Illinois and the E-Bay seller is located in Florida then that's federal.....common sense and the smell test may indicate that that Florida seller is going to be an interesting character to interview/interrogate...

...please keep us posted , eh......and listen , we all of us here feel your pain in something like this...
