Investigation stalls as $963,000 in graded trading cards vanish from FedEx truck in Santa Ana
A FedEx driver in Santa Ana, California, discovered on October 13 that nearly $1 million worth of Pokémon and sports trading cards had been stolen from a vehicle parked at a Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) facility. Two pallets containing approximately 100 packages each were completely removed, while a third pallet was partially disturbed. Santa Ana police are investigating the theft but have not yet determined when or where the cargo was taken, as the driver left the vehicle for an unspecified duration before returning. PSA has deactivated certificates for the stolen items and is arranging compensation for affected customers based on fair market value, though the exact total loss remains under review as investigators scan remaining inventory.
