A trading card collector has reported the theft of 104 PSA-graded cards valued at over $100,000 from a FedEx truck burglary, according to a Dexerto report dated October 18, 2026. The stolen cards include high-value items from popular franchises such as Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, and Yu-Gi-Oh, all professionally graded by PSA. The incident has raised concerns among creators and collectors about the security of high-value collectibles during transit.
The collector stated that the loss represents a significant financial and sentimental blow, particularly given the rarity and condition of the graded cards involved. PSA grading is widely trusted in the TCG community for verifying authenticity and condition, making such items especially attractive targets for theft. The total value cited exceeds $100,000, underscoring the growing market value of rare trading cards.
Dexerto’s report notes that other customers have also come forward with similar claims of missing orders tied to the same FedEx truck burglary, suggesting the theft may have impacted multiple shipments. While FedEx has not publicly commented on the specifics of the incident, the reports indicate a potential breach in cargo security during transit.
For content creators who invest in TCGs as both a hobby and a business asset, this event highlights the risks associated with shipping high-value collectibles. Many creators rely on graded cards for content, collaborations, or resale, making secure logistics a critical concern. The incident may prompt renewed discussion about insurance, tracking, and carrier accountability in the collectibles space.
As of the report date, no arrests have been announced, and the investigation into the burglary remains ongoing. Collectors are advised to review shipping options and consider additional safeguards when transporting valuable TCG inventory.
