I was randomly locked out of my account last week and it's not clear if there is any way to unlock it after reading about others with the same issue. So, I guess it's time for a meatballs redux.

A DEACTIVATED cert is helpful, but does little to identify or recover a card, especially when images are removed.
@PSAcard needs to keep images public. Serial numbers and images are the keys to tracking, identifying, and potentially recovering these cards.
PSA officially confirms the theft of graded items from a “third-party shipping vehicle.”
They say all certs for the stolen items have been deactivated.
They will not say how many cards or how much $.
Reports from @BosCardHunter and others say the value is in the millions. 😳😔

One of the hundreds of cards that sold last night below their hilariously overpriced "comps" from the past month.
Where are all the Coinbase sourcers? Could've had a steal for their mega vibranium pack.
Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.

Overnight I had many people reach out.
We are now nearing 1,000 cards stolen

So apparently my recent sub that popped of 48 cards at the $80 each price point was also on the truck that got robbed.
As of now, I’m out around $8,000 worth of cards and just paid 4,000+ to have these graded.
All certs deactivated and no path forward yet either.
PSA just emailed me letting me know that FedEx STOLE my 104 card submission. Over $100,000 in cards just gone....💔💔💔
There was another report that sounded like it was from the same incident. So, multiple PSA shipments stolen in this burglary.

A Riftbound/TCG collector MrEnchanted got his $40,000 GMR Dark Magical Curtain serialized #095/100 stolen from a Fed Ex truck. Please contact him @mrenchanteddd on IG if you see this card in the wild.

Received my submission from @PSAcard back
I was sold 8 x fake/counterfeit cards by this store on @eBay
eBay won’t do anything. Talked with them on the phone and they said to contact PayPal, since I used @PayPal but it’s crazy because this store has TONS of feedback of this
Paypal said they won’t do anything because it’s been over 30 days….
Do I have any other recourse?

Had someone share this recent @Collect auction with me, as a card that was previously flagged as being fake.
With the @beckettcollect description and Fanatics auction photos, it appears the owner didn't include the also fake @UpperDeckSports COA.
@nickbell @BeckettGMColin
Curious if anyone with a @vcpcards account can see if this sale is recorded, and if there were any images of the reverse provided.
It's getting harder and harder to find old auction photos.
Jordan card is fake, just trying to confirm the holograms match.

Check out the side-by-side photos posted in this thread to see the subtle differences that were noticeable.
Cards with A.I. enhanced photos are selling for all time highs… you just hate to see it🤢
Called the seller out - he says it’s just a regular photo😅👍🏻

BREAKING: The 1-of-1 Abe Lincoln autograph from 2026 Allen & Ginter has been found.
A Reddit user said they pulled it from a FAT PACK they bought at Target. 🤯🇺🇸

The seller with the live listing here, al-486406, previously sold another lot for $35,000 on Aug. 13. It's a verified sale that avoided authenticity review.
The real 2/5 Red Minionfractor was pulled in a break and still in the original owner's possession after this eBay sale.
If Topps is looking into these, here's a current @eBay listing, and some completed sales of counterfeit Wemby Alter Egos.

Active listing is set as a lot, so theres no eBay AG review.

@Paul_Lesko no pictures, but here's some seized trading cards from a recent drug case in Texas.
I think "PGA application" is likely a typo, and the police used the PSA app and Google AI for pricing.

Update to this. A few days worth of emails from @Topps and they suggest I look it up myself. @CardPurchaser
Wandy Asigen Image Variation Superfractor pulled from 26 Bowman Chrome Hobby.
-No IV listed on the checklist
-No other cards with this image on eBay
-No IVs for any other prospects appear on eBay
My only guess is scrapped IV Topps forgot to remove.
