If you are talking about the Dallas show it was 2 million worth of cards that went missing. Pretty weird how the individual didn't know until the end of the show. Seems to me it was an inside job or planned from the beginning for the attention.

It's simply crazy to leave an extremely high value case of cards unattended. I'm wondering how the thief knew this case had the best stuff. Were the cards insured? The whole thing seems suspicious to me.

I disagree you should ALWAYS expect something like this to go down. I wouldnt leave a $10 bill on thr table and turn around for 2 min and expect it to still be there when i turn back around

Thanks for sharing

Just heard about this. Thanks for the video

That would have to be the most lightweight, portable $2M I've ever seen. Even $2M in notes would weigh more than that and need a much bigger case.

Always keep a person with your stuff when u do these shows

Good recap, Chris! This is one reason why I don’t set up a shows. The only way to do it is you have to have an extra set of eyes on your items at all times especially ones of high value.

7:00 I'm sorry but I couldn't disagree with you more. It's 2024 and you are leaving a case worth a million bucks sitting on the floor all alone in a room filled with perfect strangers and no security anywhere to be found? If that were my case I would have it chained to my wrist. That is 100% on the owner of the case. Of course, this all could be an inside job where the owner will file an insurance claim and be paid the value of the cards. Think of it this way, how do the thieves know which case to take unless they were told by the owner which one? This whole thing smells.

Ya this is definitely an inside job or the absolute dumbest dealer ever

What day did this happen? And what time? I drove by there on the 4th, it was late, but I remember seeing a car with their lights turned off leaving the area.

Why would you not have an alarm on the case? They sell bike motion alarms for low as 198.99 I put a bike motion sensor on my laptop[ bag with only a $1200 computer in it. Now how are they actually going to prove what they actually had in the case?

I find this whole thing to be quite comical...an owner leaving a $2 Million case unattended...young, inattentive show employees posing as security...the dumbass who actually took the case assuming all the risk while his "team" assumes very little...all these RU-vid content creators playing detective...who knows, maybe there will eventually be a movie made about this...btw, where was the owner(s) of the case while this was happening?

If the card case stolen is like a suit case, then the more convenient it is for you to carry also apply to the thief, also for all the cards being so valuable and the card show set up being so relaxed, it's like a open invitation for thief's, their needs to he security when you check in your stuff like at a airport or a club, like come on at least have a person taking pictures of whoever comes in, any kind of measure would help detour crime bc its like going to the flea market indoors but the merchandise is super valuable

WOW. Thanks for sharing!

Wow that's crazy! I know one thing if those were my cards that would not have happened because if I would have had a collection of cards like that they would have never got out of my sight for 2 seconds and I would have had them handcuffed to my arm or to a table! That's insane leaving something like that laying around that's just insane I know most people wouldn't expect it but by George I would have and I would have took every precaution there was

you are very articulate and observing.

It's unfortunate that this happened and messed up, but that high value case should not leave anyone's eyes, heck I'd probably cuff myself to it. I hope they get the cards back.

I am surprised this didn’t happen before!

Highly intelligent and very coordinated. They scoped everything out and took non serial numbered vintage cards, which are going to be hard to track down when they crack them out of the holders. They're 100% cracking those slabs and either selling raw in different venues or subbing very slowly over time to different grading companies. If they put this much thought into how to get the cards, changing clothing to try and disguise who they were over the weekend, then they know they have a million dollar score and will play the long game. Sad that this happened to these dealers.

Everyone’s gonna be on way higher alert from now on. Thanks for sharing

This is nuts! My first thought was… why is there no one around the tables, this one or that one?! Is the owner one of the people in the video? I’m new to this investigation. I heard about it but just watched the video. Distracted dealers, is that code for ‘owners’ of these CRAZY awesome cards!?!?? I’m just not sure still of what/how this happened?!!?! My word though… the cards he showed🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯wow! What happens next?

No level of caution is too much when it comes To expensive cards nd collectibles

That’s horrible, thanks for sharing.

They should have set up the tables where there is only one way in and out.

I dont even let $20 cards out of my site. Hope the cards are recovered

There IS more footage and CLEAR high def shots of these crooks right?....RIGHT??? Its ridiculous that places have the cheapest cameras and security.

Prices are way out of control!! Never should Never be left alone

With that much value in a small box/bag/whatever, I'd have that in a secure place or at the very least have someone who will always have it in view and that would be their #1 priority, even if they're doing other stuff.

Why are so many people walking around a show that does not seem close to starting? The place is almost empty. And the guy is stacking chairs for an hour? There aren't that many chairs. Is he just stacking the same stack for an hour and nobody notices some guy standing by chairs for an hour that doesn't work there. This whole thing seems odd.

This jumped a whole million from the last video i saw about it 😂😂 so not 1.5 but 2.4mill😂😂yah someone just left that sittin 😂😂😂

Everything had to be perfect and it was almost crazy heist

There is a comic shop that has several stores around where I live. At one point, there were 3 stores, and all 3 were robbed at the same time on the same night--some Ocean's 11 shit. The items were stolen were kinda specific--a lot of more expensive comics were left behind.

You lost me at PCA slabs lol😂

To me this smells like an inside job perhaps for insurance money.

The guy stacking the chairs wasn't wearing gloves. I found out that they're getting the prints off of the chairs that he touched. Funny thing is when I do the teardowns at the Las Vegas convention center all of us wear gloves😂

People will steal lawn decorations out of your yard if they’re good quality/unique/metal, so it’s not surprising this happened. What is surprising to me is that there is a baseball card worth $175,000. I had no idea.

I think you are right on the lady walking and the guy that is standing in front of that row could also be in on it. I noticed as soon as she walked up that way he got on his phone and was looking that direction the entire time. I think 6 people were in on it.

If i had a million dollar anything id have a security guard...lmao

Disgusting! Heard about this last night. First I am seeing footage. Thanks for sharing

Im sorry but if you go into any public setting with over a million dollars of value in one little case, you better have eyes and a security guard on that case at all time ready to protect the valuables. like how easy would it be to hold them up with a gun and take the case. Hell I wouldn't even bring the real cards to the show. nobody buying that stuff anyway at a local show. THey knew exactly what case to take. none of those cards were ever gonna sell at those prices. Its a bunch of dead inventory. If it was insured, it was a insurance scam. nobody leaves that amount of valuables unsecured.

Wow, that price keeps going up first it was a million dollars then two million now it's up to two point four million dollars. I smell insurance fraud.😂😂😂😂

Dallas? I was hoping the Grassy Knoll and Book Depository would play into this.

Where’s the security? You should have at least 2-3 sales people at a table that big with high priced items?

you are absolutely right about the woman being the lookout and the 3 distractions trick.

I am absolutely shocked this doesn't happen every weekend. I have been going to shows for years and often shake my head to the lack of awareness. Perhaps because being in law enforcement for so many years, I have a different view on things. Dealers and promoters need to work together to provide a more secure and safer environment. We should all be concerned because some day someone could get hurt. I am not here to fault anyone and feel bad for the dealer. Hopefully, they catch these ding a lings and we all learn something from it.

How did they had access to the venue if they are are not sellers ?

I be hiring a bodyguard to watch over my stash if it was that valuable. Maybe next time.

If those were my cards I would have an apple airtag hidden inside

When was this? At what show? The setup looks familiar

These are the type of people that ruin this hobby for others and enjoy it, but that’s like everything else. It’s like you’re that greedy to steal a paper card for $1 million and then you steal it where you gonna sell it if it’s stolen back to the show.

Who has 2.4 million dollars worth of cards in a case you can just grab all at once and run out with it. Something fishy is a foot

The 2 guys are wearing the same exact outfit, karma will get them

Never EVER leave your merchandise alone unattended EVER ! Why in the world would anyone do this ? Especially this time and age ? Treat EVERYONE as if they are crooks and be careful of your surroundings wherever you go and do ! This is the world WE live in today ! 😖😩

You’re telling me that with all the cameras around the whole city, they can’t find out or find pictures of the people walking out of the building after stealing the cars and where they walk to and what car they got into

Wow when were these cards stolen because i saw almost the same 1952 Mantle poor PSA 1 rookie with a crease right down the middle and close serial numbers at a dealers showcase a week ago? Looked pretty close to that stolen one

There’s like 8 people at that place lol

I have to agree, there is no way that person could have known which case had high value items in it unless he was told in advance. What does the video show before this is what I’d like to see. Did the dealer talk to any of these people before this clip, did he , for some strange reason, just happen to mention what he had? Doubtful, if there are four people being used in this theft they knew ahead of time what was going to be worth stealing to distract the other dealers at just the right time the dealer who got robbed left.

Thought the owner said the value was $2 million? Should have had 2-3 apple tags in that Zion case

Put trackers on your stuff. Never leave ur stuff just on the ground.

Nice payday for stacking a few chairs.

I'm not a collector so this is an honest question, can those cards be insured?

When I used to sale at shows I never left any high end un attended if anything I would bring someone with me

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

Wonder Fernando had anything to do with it, jkjk

Put a airtag in the case

Who is the dealer that got their case stolen? That area looked empty. Did the two guys have all those tables? The tables where the case was taken looked empty.

I bet they’ll just sit on these cards for a while and either sell or grade them.

Wonder how cheap they will try to move those mantles at?

the case should have been on the floor right next to the dealer in white

Hairs on the back of my neck are standing up. 🤔

Were any Zack Hample cards stolen?

I hope they have a better closeup picture of the guy on the cameras leading into the entry hall or where the card show was taking place. And I think I saw that he possibly changed clothes, but his face will still be the same. And then once he gets pinched he will roll on the others.

This shit was planned very carefully. In a wide open conference room someone was stacking fucking chairs to blend in. Grabs the goods without anyone noticing. Looked to be the youngest of the bunch too. Word is they changed clothes throughout the day. This wasn't planned on the fly in a single day. Someone has had their eye on this dealer for weeks or months. The small details of this heist are too carefully orchestrated. The older accomplices are distracting the dealers to perfection. The female at the top of the frame is suspicious as well. None of them looked at any cameras. You know they knew they were there. Some thieves are simply brazen enough to not care and someone experienced knows that looking straight at one is a sign of nervousness. The guy bumping the kid is definite post-grab jitters but everyone else was calm as a glass of water. Even the kid bolting with the case. He grabbed that shit like he owned it and knew the most direct route out of there while looking normal. Being caught on camera and actually caught in the act are two totally different things. Luckily it only takes one suspect to talk and the dominos start to fall.

Hardly anybody even at the show. Look at all thos empty tables too

Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an insurance claim…..

Over 2 million

It was actually 2.4 million if you added them all up

They didn't just leave cards, you can see the guy stacking chairs getting close to them putting their guard down because he's stacking chairs, then purposely being distracted, they messed up but this could have happened to anyone, I hope they catch the bastards

If i have expensive cards like that im keeping them next to me at all times. That case was WAY to far from where the vendors are. Especially when there arent many other vendors nearby. If they get caught they should be thrown in jail

We're they just setting up? Why all the empty tables? Why weren't these cards out?

Well coordinated lol... this is 101.... easy....

This job was well planned out, probably followed this guy's table at different shows. Learned how he packed up and his tendencies. And they probably had a buyer in place as soon as they lifted the case They got their money and bolted. What happens to the cards is anyone's guess

Man how can you just leave those on the floor. This could of easily prevented. You cannot trust anyone...

Howd that guy know those cards were in that case? Or did they just simply grab a case at random and end up with the good one. Could be an inside job if they knew the exact high price case to grab.

Very brilliant, got to give it to them They did pull off a good one.

All due respect if you don't expect something coordinated like this to go down eventually someone's gonna take your 7 figure stuff. Awfully curious though how someone without direct knowledge or relation to the owner would know to take that specific case but there could be a very reasonable explanation. It kind of ends up like stealing from the mob because it's now going to be very difficult to sell the stuff. Sad and unfortunate but completely expected. Can't trust anyone sadly

If that was my display case of cards I would never leave it unattended. Inexcusable and naive to think something like this could not happen.

Is it 2.4 million or 100 of thousands of dollars ....?

Where this cards insured ?! ...... I believe the the dealers where part of the heist ?! ...

Yea bring all your most expensive cards then leave them alone for awhile

There’s another suspicious person in all black and it looks like he’s wearing a black cap as well. He’s standing at the end of the aisle the female you see walks down. He’s right above your head.

Airtags people!!!

Insurance fraud. ....this amount doubles every day 😂. It was 1.2 wtf?

The guys they are part of this will disappear and never be seen again.

All allegedly.. IMO the guy with the blue backpack was a part of the heist also. He saw the guy take the case. Walked the family by the other two guys and even looked at the guy walking away. The first guy to the left never turned around to even know the guy took the case. The family was the sign that the case has been taken. Once again, allegedly. 🤙

$1,000,000 worth of cards $0 worth of security 😂

The most shocking news was someone would pay million dollars for cards . The price are way out of balance for video games, cards, comic. If i would buy a card for $50,000 now if want to sell it to get my money back must sell it for $60,000 to make so money on it. Now how many people would pay for it and if the want to sell it later would want to make money on it to. So $70,000 goes on and on .
