How did a card like that even get put into a place to get stolen?

We were slammed, everyone was with a customer, we dont know if the case didnt get locked back up or if they broke into it, our group has 15 tables so our set up is pretty big. The person who stole it past up 4 babe ruth goudeys so they specifically wanted that card only.

On the up side..unless it is for the thief's PC..he/she will try and sell.
You have the grading serial # and it is going to be easy to trace..
Hope they:
1. Catch the thief
2. Prosecute the thief
3. Hang 'em

Yeah were just trying to get in their head
- they most likely will not list it online
- they will probably transfer to psa
- it will be moved fast for way under market
By the time the card is found it will be with a new owner who was not aware they bought a stolen card.
Its sad but true

Yeah I hate to say it but more than likely it will be taken out of the case and regraded so even if it was listed on eBay you would not know. I am sorry to hear that and do hope the thief is stupid enough to try and sell it on eBay for your sake.
