## Summary

The FBI is investigating the apparent theft of a FedEx truck shipment carrying 6,451 PSA-graded trading cards, many of them Pokémon cards. The incident matters because shipments of this scale rarely go missing, and collectors may receive less compensation than they expected if PSA’s valuation is below the cards’ eventual sale price.

The truck was reportedly raided in Santa Ana on 13 October, after FedEx collected the graded cards. PSA says it is refunding grading fees and compensating customers based on each item’s “fair market value”, putting the reported total just under $1 million despite online reports of a higher value. PSA has given investigators video footage and shipping records, and says owners can choose between compensation and their card if items are later recovered.
