Pokémon cards and sports cards submitted to PSA for grading, worth roughly $963,000, were stolen from a FedEx truck parked outside PSA's headquarters in Santa Ana, California, on October 13, 2026, according to IGN.
A FedEx delivery driver left the truck unattended for about 60 to 90 minutes, and thieves broke the vehicle's locking mechanism before taking parcels containing the cards. Police estimated the loss at about $963,000, a figure that may change as the stolen items are confirmed.
