No updates on this. Is the consensus belief the cards went to Mexico?

That was my early thought, but who knows at this point.

I would bet that they are still in the DFW area. No way to know unless there is a break in this case.

Pretty sobering, it looked like they had pretty high quality images.

I am truly worried these cards are long gone. Very sad.

They won't be gone from the Hobby, but certainly cracked and reholdered, a little bit at a time If I had to guess. A shame that these criminals essentially got away with the card heist of the century.

My guess is PSA, SGC, Beckett, and CGC have the card scans and at least some AI to filter out the reholder trickle. At least, I hope so. They all charge enough where you'd hope they could manage something like this on a one-off basis given the gravity and media attention.

None of the grading companies have any incentive to filter the cards. The fees are the incentive. I would think they'd be happy to grade the same card a million times regardless of who is submitting it.
