Lateral thinking is required on this one.

I suspect the briefcase was locked because of the valuables within. Therefore the thief was interested in the briefcase and had no knowledge of the contents. The briefcase was made of fine leather, either black or brown. A three digit code or a key would be required to open the case. If the thief had the wherewithal and time a total of 1000 three digit codes could be tried and the case could be opened safely. He would then gain access to the case. I suspect that he knew what might be in the case and was interested in the classified documents rather than cardboard. If the thief was in a hurry, a crowbar was probably used to crack the case and obtain the documents. I therefore conclude that the Turkey Reds are essentially a red herring in this drama and can be found in a dumpster behind the Motel 6 in Ocean City, Maryland.
I could be wrong, but if there is a board member in the vicinity of Ocean City, let me know what you find.

That might be necessary since most of the Maryland hotels have had an "Ed" registered this week.

Motel 6 "leaves the light on" so the surveillance footage might prove useful. Of course, in order to keep rates down, they haven't upgraded the security system and they haven't been able to get the tape out of the VCR since 1998.

Could it be Professer Plum, in the Ball Room?

No scans, no certs.... certainly looks like it's going to be a tough case to crack.... have you spoken with Encyclopedia Brown yet?

I'm so ashamed for chiming in.

My thoughts were that maybe our community would be heart broken over the loss and all come together to donate some cards of our own to fill this void. Surely someone has a spare collectors grade T3 Cobb they are willing to part with.

Not classified documents and not fine leather, but I think I could find the time to crack open this case with one of a thousand three digit codes.

Is it possible that this is the breifcase that Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega were securing for Marsellus Wallace? The T3s give off a glow when the case is opened?

Gee and all these years I was sure it was a battery powered light with a gold-colored lens. Boy, do I feel stupid. Maybe I will put the cream of my collection in a Pulp Fiction Lunch Box and head off for a night at the Motel 6.
