Collectors report PSA-graded cards stolen from burglarized FedEx vehicle after leaving Southern California facility
A trading card collector known as SKY-B said PSA notified them that their 104-card submission, valued at more than $100,000, was stolen when a FedEx vehicle carrying PSA orders was burglarized after leaving PSA's Southern California facility. PSA said it deactivated the affected certificates, notified selling platforms and auction partners, is working with FedEx and law enforcement, and will compensate customers at fair market value up to each item's Maximum Insured Value. Other collectors reported losing a PSA 9 Magic: The Gathering Smaug the Magnificent, a serialized Yu-Gi-Oh card numbered 95/100, and a Pikachu card; those accounts are unverified.
