Amen! Everyone on social media has said they are disappointed in comments “bashing” the dealer. Most of the comments I’ve seen are just pointing out the multiple measures he could have taken to prevent this, but chose not to. I feel bad that he got his cards stolen, no one deserves that, but I would rather have law enforcement focused on catching murderers instead of chasing after his cards. I think that’s a fair opinion.

Kudos to the card show for those cameras..... It was the Marriott Hotel, I would hope they have cameras all over the building for any purpose.

Your store needs to stock sleeves for PSA slabs. I had a 1968 Mantle stolen by a dealer at a Civil War show.

As well, as well as well, as well. As well. Remember when people didn't say 'as well' all of the time?

You have to set up well seen cameras with red lights shining at your booths, signs that say smile your on camera, thief’s move right on down the line….

3:00 If I have these cards, I will tuck them away for 5 yrs and then crack them and sell it. Trust me, dealers will not even remember this incident or the cards by then. 🤫🤫🤫 You know why I’m waiting that long to sell them? Because in 5 yrs, these cards will be worth $2.5 million. 👍👍👍

Add some basic rules... everyone must have an official event badge. Hotel or site employees are not allowed in to help move chairs / tables / etc until every single vendor is 100% moved out and that way they cant just come in either. Have security at all entrances and exits. Make sure all cameras are higher end 4K cameras or better - dont go cheap on the tech. Have guards at entrances check for receipts...if you buy a card or anything you are going to have a receipt...you walk out with goods and no receipt in hand, you are stopped. It sucks to go full Walmart but no way around it now.

I've been looking at Arena Club! I'm glad you guys are endorsing!

So grading company is the official official now. Then they should do a tiny laser etch digits on the card when they grade them. Now no more regrading of the same card forever

If they crack them out of the slabs they cant be traced

My suggestion for the 1986 Michael Jordan autographed Fleer cards wouild have been have Jordan autograph the BACK SIDE where the signature pops aesthetically and also do it in pencil so the ink doesn't bleed and theoretically you can erase the autograph if anyone ever wanted to, and graphite (pencil) signatures don't fade, smear or bleed and look quite elegant. Defacing the front of the card is bad aesthetics, but the back side looks beautiful and when it's in a slab, it's protected and you turn the card over to look at the autograph, so it's a no brainer that it's signed and easy to see.

Card dealers have been ripping collectors off for years. How many millions of dollar of packs were opened and resealed in the 80s? Not that I don’t feel bad for this ash dude but yeah, dealers are the last people who should complain about being robbed.

I was at the national last year waiting at the PSA booth for same day graded card until 9:00 pm long after the show ended. At one point I went and used the restroom. The lights are all almost completely off. If I was dishonest I could have taken so much stuff. Shocks me the lack of security and how trusting everyone is.

It's cards piece of paper cardboard like pass a escort from guy to guy is what cards are. Hobby needs to change instead of hoeing these cards from owner to owner. Facts is all cards needs a serial number base or not to prevent stolen items resold on the market

Only show photocopies of your cards as a reference. Chainlocked in a lock box connected to my table. I'll show actual card to reputable buyers only, and I never leave my table.

Thanks for the update and other great content. Hiring help to watch your cards is interesting.

I just watched another video of a kid stealing 500 dollars of Pokémon cards at the same show. It was shocking. The kid noticed the seller was filming. Absolutely shocking

I have about 30k of cards and I’m strapped always lol

Those cards are probably already in the collection of some seedy overseas collector, never to be seen again.

It's really sad that at fun community events people have to ruin it by stealing. Everybody in the hobby should be a family not taking advantage of each other. Also though there has to be some accountability taken for leaving millions unattended

Thank you guys for the info

I say since Nationals are coming up that every dealer at the card show get a flyer that shows every card (of value) that was stolen so of some “Yahoo” comes up trying to sell or trade then they will know what to look for. If someone does you bring it to the attention of security and people will research it and see of those were the stolen ones and of not then they can proceed to sell/trade but its a good idea to get the word out to some smaller tables that might not know yet. Also, maybe hand the flyer out to everyone coming in to the show so everyone is aware….whats it going to cost? Pennies to print out flyers? Also, put the faces on the flyers so people will know who to look out for as well. (I think its a good idea at least)! God bless everyone!

dallas has alot of rich people; prob one of the millionaires hired them and did a mission impossible

Locked case with a bike lock attached to a table. Not fool proof but you would make a commotion when you tried to walk away with the case. Kinda hard to pull the table along with you. Security is a better idea.

I'm still waiting on my 2020 Justin Jefferson rc auto from Panini...they are the worse. Customer service never responds.

If all those cards are in 1 case then why not take them with you at night , Texas is a open carry state .

Can’t wait to see u at national u are the best youtubers

With a week now past it is increasingly likely that these cards have left the country. The fact that no names have been shared by authorities and nobody in the card community has ID’d these guys is not a good sign either.

NEVER take your eyes off your card cases! Ever! If you think you’re going to be in a relaxed situation where you could be distracted, make sure you’re standing right by your stuff. Or get your buddy to do it for you. Yeah. You do have to have a paranoid mindset at all times when you’re dealing with that kind of monetary value!

I feel these guys will do something to sell those cards. They will either just wait a few years or so till everyone has long forgotten, or maybe alter some cards different, add a few scratchs to the mantle to change the look, bc they are valuable to matter the condition, and its all profit for them.
