Seeing and hearing all the updated National news, pictures etc. This dealer Ash right now has bigger & badder & bolder inventory right now loaded with high end & big $ slabs & memorabilia. Truly blows my “effin” mind he bounced back this quick.

Some explanations I can think of:

a) He's super-rich and that's why he could bounce back so quickly.

b) The cards he's selling are mostly consignments (and the cards that were stolen were mostly consignments)

c) All the stolen cards were his, but the insurance company gave him all his money back and he bought himself some new cards!

Yeah, because insurance companies are chomping at the bit to write seven figure checks two weeks after cards of contentious price points were stolen.

It sounds like all the concern for his well being were misplaced. The stolen case was likely just one part of his inventory. Cancel the GoFundMe.

Rumor has it the culprits are known. And rumor has it they probably aren't in the US anymore.

I think Roe would beat Wade about 60% of the time. Control pitcher against a contact hitter.

Now can we table the con law lesson and get back to cards, please?

More interesting than sophomoric Bulgarian jokes.

Just wondering since this has still not been solved, has there been any talk that the thieves may be from South America? In ritzy areas of Michigan and other states, there have been home burglaries committed by highly organized gangs later determined to be from places like Chile. Some of the suspects later arrested had come to the US through a Visa Waiver Program.

I really can't see this being orchestrated by anyone from a country where baseball isn't appreciated.

My Bulgarian jokes were indeed even duller and plainer, as they never matriculated beyond freshmanic status.

Peter, I thought we had all agreed that references to Bulgaria or Bulgarians stealing baseball cards was now a dead horse topic; yet, you just brought it up again. I suggest we all just forget Bulgaria exists and concern ourselves with the theft of Ash's cards. John

I made no such agreement, nor would I; it would be insulting to Bulgaria to forget it exists. After all, Bulgarians have done all sorts of stuff. I can't come up with anything off the top of my head, but there must be something. The real dead horse is the theft, at least until (if) there is some sort of development.

Well, they joined NATO after years of Soviet dominance. That's good in my book, which is now closed on all deviations from the theft and its ongoing investigation.
