Again, while his sons look young, they are not teenagers. They have worked many, many big card shows, probably more shows than most of the posters. They are quite experienced, they simply got bested by people that in all likelihood are seasoned professionals at this, their MO is to distract and have another team member make off with the goods which is exactly what they did.

The guy who took the case looks like he has tattoos, and the camera got a good shot of his face. I would be surprised if he isn't busted. What would you even do with that much in graded cards? Maybe they had a buyer set up already?

I can't imagine how they thought they would sell them. Maybe crack them out and sit on them for a year or two? I hope they don't trash them, as it would be a shame for the dealer and the hobby.

I'm praying they will be caught soon and everything will be recovered.

I think people tend to overestimate the intelligence of most criminals. For example, almost anyhow would know they would show up on surveillance video.
