$963,000 in PSA-graded sports and Pokémon cards from more than 200 packages was stolen last week from a FedEx truck outside Professional Sports Authenticators in Santa Ana.
Police said the thief broke the truck's lock and took the cards while the driver was away; no arrests have been made and none of the cards has been recovered.
Collectors, PSA's parent, said it deactivated certificates for the stolen items, alerted marketplace partners to watch for rare and serialized cards, and is arranging fair-market compensation for affected customers.
One victim, YouTuber SKY-B, said 104 stolen cards included ultra-rare case hits and one-of-one items, underscoring the personal and financial damage from the heist.
California has seen a wider rise in trading-card thefts, including a pepper-spray robbery in San Francisco and a smash-and-grab in Brentwood that pushed store owners to tighten security.
