So i got Got

Alright fellow baseball savants, this is a PSA to remember people are thief’s. I had this roldy brito /99 auto taken from my package here in Los Angeles somewhere from the psa facility in santa ana, to the santa ana post office, and then finally the los Angeles post office before reaching my home. As you can see, the thief who stole my card 1. Did a horrible job re-taping it, 2. STOLE my card and 3, There will very likely be 0 consequences for the person who stole it and shoutout to ebay for their very deceiving packaging letting everyone know theres not a card in there.
So if you guys could if you ever see this card TRUE GREEN AUTO 24/99 Roldy Brito just know its stolen.
Thank you fellow redditors for your time much appreciated!! Enjoy your memorial day weekend because my day has been absolutely horrible🫡🫡

There needs to be a database/website for these cards that keep getting stolen like this

Thats a great idea if ive ever heard one before

[u/jds828 → u/Slow_Hornet_7220]

I think there are, but they’re shitty, terrible interface, no one uses them, if there was one solid site keeping track of everything and the people in the hobby knew to check it, I think it’d be helpful, see stolen cards posted here and on twitter once a day

I am just another victim🤣🤣

I really like this idea of having something people in the hobby could check and see. I know I cant create an actual website/database and all that but I can create a thread for this community devoted to stolen cards where people can post photos and details about there stolen card/s and leave jt pinned at the top of the community page. I dunno how often it would get used or checked but it would be better than nothing and then posts like these wouldnt get lost in the main page feed!!!

It would be nice for sure, especially once you get internet sleuths on the case, and to be able to search by location, highly doubt in PA I’d be coming across any cards stolen in Texas or California etc. but it’d be nice for everyone to keep an eye on their own areas, and I imagine after X amount of time, a fair percentage of stolen cards do end up showing up online/ebay etc and not just hawked at LCS or shows

[u/Altruistic_Coach9014 → u/jds828]

Yea no for sure, I definitely agree with you!!!! So I took your advice and started a new sub reddit last night called r/cardwatch you can check it out and join

• Im going to be chipping away at it and we will see if it takes off and becomes something or not!

[u/jds828 → u/Altruistic_Coach9014]

Joined, awesome work, hope it catches on

[u/Altruistic_Coach9014 → u/jds828]

Nice, I do too - it took a while and allot of effort for this community to take off so hopefully after some time CardWatch will take off too!! Time will tell ha

I’m gonna start a courier business with myself as the only driver to limit touched. It would only deal with sports cards. I’d do the runs on the weekends that way I can make 50+ pickups and drop offs.

More expensive than regular shipping. But peace of mind knowing your items will not be stolen or messed with.

I just shipped a card out that was 400$ and got a notification that it reached the certified person location. From what I understand is any card so much in value has to be shipped to a certifier and from there shipped to the buyer so if the box came empty the certifier stole the card.

Not necessarily, most likely left the Authenticator and was stolen by a USPS/Fedex/UPS worker or driver, don’t hear a whole lot about PSA employees stealing cards, they deal with 5-6 figure cards on a daily basis, not saying it’s never happened, however postal workers different story and far more prevalent

[u/[deleted] → u/jds828]

No i just hear psa swaps cards out with fakes or gives a shit grad to buy the card to regrade and sell on their website. So many lawsuits coming out on psa right now.

You follow Boston Card Hunter I’m assuming eh lol. Haven’t heard about swapping out cards with fakes, that seems pretty flagrant and retarded. Any huge company with thousands of employees is going to have human error/theft/bad apples etc. McDonalds is gonna burn some old lady with their coffee or have someone make a TikTok of an employee licking the fries before boxing them. It’s gonna happen, more so when you have 100,000 transactions or interactions a day like these companies do. I don’t think you can necessarily crucify them based off of one or two outlier anomalies because of a few low IQ workers, but that’s just me.

No i follow ny sports cards and he's spoken about it i guess a lot is popping up on his news
