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...

Keep us posted and GET THESE GUYS! You are hot on the trail already which is encouraging. Hope police are proactive as those are valuable cards and they have a person to put pressure on now in the seller.

I spoke to the seller and he seemed honest as he is cooperative and working with authorities. I believe he got such a steal of a deal that he was ok with selling them low. The old saying goes "If it is too good to be true it usually is" still stands

I will for sure. Thank you for the support.

I hope you recover all 100% of these cards as this just makes my stomach turn. And I completely agree with the previous post that the grading certs definitely saved these cards. Keep us posted! All the best.

Any chance you could tell a little about how it happened ?
