this looks like a time period where only vendors and employees were there setting up or breaking down. def a inside job, likely the staff of the hotel.
I run a card shop in dfw and this is exactly one of the reasons why we dont do cons anymore. I even did a little mock con for my local middle school, and the first year i had kids steal from my booth. Middle schoolers! There are sadly more and more kids watching these pricks do hot lick challenges or whatever and embolden them to steal from honest working people, but dont think through the other end of where the actual hell do you think you are gonna sell that heat buddy? Sad. These guys will know what it's like to steal big money. Bye-bye misdemenor, hello grand theft felonies..
Moral compass of society is continuing to erode. I have high spender long time loyal customers steal from me because I trusted them in my LCS.
This shit was planned very carefully. In a wide open conference room someone was stacking fucking chairs to blend in. Grabs the goods without anyone noticing. Looked to be the youngest of the bunch too. Word is they changed clothes throughout the day. This wasn't planned on the fly in a single day. Someone has had their eye on this dealer for weeks or months. The small details of this heist are too carefully orchestrated. The older accomplices are distracting the dealers to perfection. The female at the top of the frame is suspicious as well.
None of them looked at any cameras. You know they knew they were there. Some thieves are simply brazen enough to not care and someone experienced knows that looking straight at one is a sign of nervousness. The guy bumping the kid is definite post-grab jitters but everyone else was calm as a glass of water. Even the kid bolting with the case. He grabbed that shit like he owned it and knew the most direct route out of there while looking normal. Being caught on camera and actually caught in the act are two totally different things. Luckily it only takes one suspect to talk and the dominos start to fall.
you are reading too much into it
So you’re fucked if you look into the camera but if you don’t, you’ll look guilty to folks like you? Lose lose situation for anyone accused of theft if you’re the one who gets to decide if they’re guilty or not. With that logic, you’re gonna pick guilty 10 times out of 10.
These dudes probably don’t understand what level of crime they just committed, they just stole an entire house in value 💀 wait until we see this one hit the news
Card shows are a gold mine for criminals … thousands of cash is handled plus super expensive cards …
@@georgeallen4007gonna have to start bringing the 2nd amendment into these buildings ;)
@@nah4215you sound dumb saying that. What exactly would a gun have done in this exact situation? Are you gonna run around waving it looking for your cards? Are you gonna flash it to people and tell them not to try anything? Are you gonna shoot someone in the back as they walk off with stolen cards? A gun won’t help this situation.. what will is paying attention to your HALF A MILLION DOLLAR CASE OF CARDS!
@@zl8731you’re a 🐱
How expensive is your house?????? That’s like 6 houses
I heard it was 2 million. I hope they catch these scumbags!
Maybe they have them already. Insurance fraud maybe. Come on who leaves a $1-2 million case out in the open 10-20 ft away from them unguarded and back turned. No dealer I know who ever let that happen.
He won't be able to sell those cards...he'll be cut as soon as he put something on ebay !!!
no security guards in the area makes it too easy for these people to snatch and run with stuff. hopefully they get caught quickly
jail time for half a million cards u wont get away with it dude u will sell a few then the cuffs come out
Who leaves half a million in cards unattended?
They weren’t intentionally left unattended the thieves made it to be that way. Normally there would have been 2 or 3 back there with the merchandise if they weren’t coordinated away from them
It’s not their fault.
had 3 employees sitting there. are you dumb or something?
Half a million? What about the other million?
@@kamb8sit’s the owners fault. 1.5 -2 million dollars and he couldn’t hire a bubba to look after the cards. Good luck getting insurance to cover it if they have it.
Unless the cards are 1 of 1’s or they’re arrested quickly, they’re gone. If these guys had that level of forethought to plan this then they’ll break the cards out of the slabs. I doubt all three are stupid enough to try and sell them in the slabs. Once they’re out, say goodbye. Be careful out there vendors!
Honestly, these thieves aren't very smart and the chances of them getting caught are extremely high. Remember the guy who worked for Pokémon and stole a bunch of expensive cards and tried selling all of them to a local game store?
But what if they crack them and regraded it
@@Cardffee
They're thieves, they're going to look for the easiest way out and re-grading is going to take too long.
Even if they crack um and try to sell the loose cards those cards are SO RARE that if any of those go up for sale there's going to be A LOT of questions for the seller such as who, when and where did these cards come from, proof of sale when purchased etc, I bet that's what gets them found out. Those thrives truly are dumb AF! 🤦♂️🙄 May not be right away but you can bet your ass they're going to get CAUGHT and I can't wait to hear how it all shakes out! 🤷♂️
@@Cardffee that would get them caught 100%.
Not if it was an inside job and the owners already have the cards back in their procession and just are trying to collect the insurance money? lol
3:22 fuck bro I don't know about victim blaming, but leaving that much unattended was def not the right choice, when I'm traveling with my 2,000$ instrument I never let it leave my sight, considered cuffing myself to it when I'm in big crowds or tiny packed areas but thought it'd be too dramatic...if I'm a dick for saying that then by all means, but leaving that much "money" unattended is crazy.
or at least cuff the case to a table/chair.
You are not wrong but everyone wants to say the politically correct thing
At this much value even an inside man has to be considered a possibility. They knew where and which case to go for and looks like they had every spot covered.
@@tomokogaming8968 not me. The dealers are either in on or they are too stupid and who cares about them.
Idk if anyone noticed or mentioned but distraction guy #3 was using 2 phones. Walked in, bee lines it to distract the last worker, putting the phone he was talking to into his right pocket. Pulls out a new phone from the left pocket to show the worker, probably already queued up with the planned question.
Not specifically victim blaming anyone, but it’s time to discuss this as a hobby. Some shows have hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars changing hands. Yet the setups are no different than your local flea market.
What do you want personal security?
@@thewatchfuleye8401 I think as a hobby we need to realize that tables containing millions of dollars of cards have outgrown the current setups. Honestly, if my business was carrying 2-3 million in assets to a public space I would probably have security. Again, not blaming the person who was robbed here, but there are very loose security measures at card shows and it is no longer the world of dollar boxes as it was 10-20 years ago
@@RandomStuff0303 I agree with your sentiment.
@@thewatchfuleye8401if I had a million dollars worth of product then yes
If your inventory is over 100k you should have some level of security. Sorry but it’s hard to feel bad for somebody who gets their car stolen if they leave the cars unlocked in the hood
Could the police get in touch with the telecommunication companies to see which cell phones were pinging from this area at that time of day? Then begin to rule out as folks are identified and cleared
What? No that’s not how that works
@@ctochs that’s how quite a few January 6th rioters were caught using cellular data from that day. Not saying it could be similarly used here, but they have caught folks based off cellular data before and being at the scene of a crime
Doing this in Texas is not smart. They don’t play with theft like this. Based upon the value if they get caught it’s enough to get a life sentence for them.
As a former asshole cardshows and lots need more security because it’s a matter of time
Crazy, I searched Dallas card show theft, and it pulled up a video from two years ago. Apparently this show has lots of theft problems.
Either the dealers were in on it or they are too dump to comprehend basic security measures. If they are insured the insurance company is going to have a big problem with their lack of basic security and common sense. Just because you have an insurance policy doesnt mean they will pay this claim. It looks shady all around and you are an insured customer also must take basic steps to prevent theft. If I was an insurance company I would not pay this.
Did not even consider the insurance angle..makes you wonder doesn't it? Especially since it appears to be an inside job, with either local staff or employees being in on it. Very shady indeed.
They should have an air tag or location device in that brief case if they are willing to leave it unsupervised
@@TheBackRoom_Gaming agreed. Something doesn't seem right
seem like they could have a big case like on rollers and put the best cards away in it, like a band size box,
How can you identify a card that has been cracked out of a case if there are already raw copies in the wild? It's a genuine curiosity. I don't think enough buyers and collectors are educated or care enough to not buy hot cards.
Many of these have blemishes and centering that isn't going to match another card.
@@RattlePokemonfor vintage maybe or something graded low. A good copy would be near impossible to tell. Would take a very specific blemish to form any sort of case around
@@RattlePokemon Can the blemishes be cleaned with that magic card cleaner goop? I just started seeing ads on my Facebook feed. All that stuff makes me so reluctant to buy singles at card shows from vendors I know nothing about. Oh well, c'est la vie!
Some of the 90s and onward already were serial numbered on the cards that are signed/patched which grade companies also keep records of. The Vintage cards would probably be harder to track but not impossible if detailed pictures were taken.
One of the employees is in on it. Too clean of a heist worth 2 million dollars for it to be taken like that.
The robbers are wearing clothes that appear straight off the clothes rack. One robber is wearing a "Boss" t-shirt. Another is wearing a "Hugo" t-shirt. The bucket hat and short sleeve white knit Polo shirts and their shorts could have been purchased at the Dillard's in Fairview, TX, which is a short 10-minute drive from the card show. It's possible these robbers bought these clothes just for the robbery. Maybe Dillard's has them on camera or have a credit card transaction.
This is what me & my buddy we're worried about at fort worth collect-a-con this past weekend. Turned out great and we had a blast 😁
Basically an art heist at this point
Who leaves that much money in cards unattended that’s a red flag right there if you ask me
How they know which case to aim for? Did they just got lucky and grab the most expensive? A little suspicious, I wouldn't rule out an inside man as a possibility.
The worker wearing the black shirt. His "reaction" after the distractor walks away is quite suspicious. More analysis is needed. Thumbs UP for posting this. I've watched several content TH-cam Creators cover this story over past 24 hours.
I am an exhibitor and I always box up high values items and put it in a larger box on and keep it withing few feet of me immediately and inform my staff to keep eyes on. I would block off with table, furniture, or other inventory. . Something also seems suspect about this theft; why the heck would you leave 1 million+ in a suitcase loos on the floor especially if you are a veteran seller.
Why would anyone bring that much inventory to the show. Just insane to me
🤔 Some big sales in cards sold in fort worth... not graded... Sports cards that is
Hate it break it to ya. But the actual value looks to be over a million. Probably closer to 2. Makes it even worse.
When I added up the price tags it was a bit over 400,000 but some didn't have prices.
Just the 1952 Mantles are way higher than your estimate of the total value lost.
I posted this to my Insta feed in which a few of my friends were setup with tables at that show as well. I know that they will spread this wide and far.
It’s a red flag the moment you leave your station 🤨🤨🤨 unattended.
$100 in cards, yeah okay you can see leaving it for 3 seconds to pack up. 1.5 mil though? Now we're talking beyond stupidity and looking at insurance scam or inside job.
if you are a card dealer, why bring such expensive cards to a show??? just bring a copy of it and send the card out. that or secure the damn case to something that cant be removed!
Literally handcuff it to yourself after the show, I don't understand the blatant disregard for that amount of money just sitting there unattended with nobody even keeping eyes on it.
Crazy stuff. The value just insane. Now many more will start trying 😕
Sounds like an insurance scam
Sad world man, hope they catch these guys but doubtful all the cards find their way back
Also could be an inside job for the insurance money. How do you leave that case that far away from you unattended. IDK Man looks shady all around
Found a tin foil hat man
I don't know for the insurance money but wouldn't rule out an inside man.
not even close
@@latinsizer why would an inside job do it in front of cameras?
How is this not even close. That much in cards, that isn't selling... take the money now from insurance, stash the cards for your next generation and live life big. Times are getting tough, it's 100% plausible
Looks like a professional job. Probably hired by a private collector. Those cards will never be seen again and nobody will get caught.
Almost looks like black shirt was in on it? Is he the owner? Literally walks over to get the perfect angle to see if the right case was grabbed? I dunno. Looks super sketch though
A dealer at the national Show 2 years ago at 2 million dollars worth of cards stolen and you never got them back
New labels
-Authentic Stolen
I've helped my buddy Mavs Collectibles set up several times at Collect A Cons on the day before and create content too. You're suppose to be able to leave your stuff while setting up but you just can't trust anyone. I would walk around filming but always kept an eye on my guys booth. And others as well tbh. Usually there are always people filming while set up is happening but at smaller card shows, not so much.
Keep in mind there is no way to prove what was taken. All you see is a case or bag taken
you sound sus af
ID everybody that comes through card shows no exceptions. Have an ID on file. So any theft can be found on video and ID on file
Where security at 😂
I just want to say that I don’t know the owner and I live in Ma. Over the last 3 weeks ive seen the same FB add of his with a pic of all them mantles promoting that he was taking them all to dallas. I saw his post on the east coast once a day for the last 3 weeks the somehow Sunday in Dallas he gets those exact same cards stolen and now the promoted fb ads are all gone. Just think it seems fishy. You heard it here first lol.
This whole thing just absolutely screams shady 😂
Lets not forget now this is the 2nd tine in 2 years they have had msjor issues in Dallas, ctine has no address but something clearly to be be changed go insure safety....
What strange is there's no customers there was this before the show opened
Hire in-house securities or your personal & make sure to have your team with you to keep an eye help with the vending & merch etc
crazy, they would just get the cards regarded so they have a new serial number with PSA.
Looks like the old employees got together with the new employees lol😂😂😂😂
if they're caught,they move from state to state.already sold them.
Wow, they did it when most vendors would be less on guard while packing things up.
If they were this clean with the heist. I would expect them to have a good getaway plan. For instance, they could live a state or two over. By the time this was recognized, they could have a car with two license plates so they swap it out a few gas stations down as they go somewhere. This is all the theories and information I've gathered from the jewel thief who has a TH-cam channel. They are definitely into the card business or at least know enough about it to plan this heist out. If I was them and I needed to get away with the cards to resell them. One knew of places that you could resell them to even if they know they are stolen for half the price is for sure the best option. It gets it off your hands quick you get money and you're on your way. According to the jewel thief, this is what he did. Now I would assume that is not the case for these people. What would work in their favor, is to crack the cases and send the cards across different grading services, slowly. And resell them to pay for the more expensive cards. This would take a very long time to sell off probably upwards of two years. Since there are multiple people involved in this, I would expect they all want some part of the money. Aint no way with that many people involved this heist is not going to get turned over.
Honestly, if they get away with it completely, I think its more of an issue with police but I still have some questions for the vendor. Like bro, you really brought a case that's worth 1.5 million to the open public, and on top of that while taking a booth down that wasn't the absolute top priority to put in your car or whatever. Like dude everything else can wait, you literally have a large amount of money sitting in ONE briefcase while your entire booth is being taken down. Kinda stupid and weird they would just let that happen.
this aint a movie
Events are going to be more expensive now since security (possibly armed) will have to be paid for. This is why we cant have nice things, there's always some jerkwad ruining it for everyone else. Hope the owners find out who it was first to deliver some justice before they thieves are arrested. Smh....
My insurance would of made me square. So 25cents per pack but no gum.
I go to the Dallas card show every other month and it just blows my mind that there isn’t more security
1.5 million in theft of cards…… insane
a suitcase contening 2 millions in cards value...it'll be handcuffed to my arm!!!
I was literally thinking the exact same thing. This just screams shady to me. Ain't no way you're that stupid to leave that kinda money just sitting there. I'm never taking my eyes off it and sure as hell not leaving it sit there
It was only a matter of time
These cards will never be seen again. They will be cracked from the PSA slab and slowly regraded again. Rip 2 million.
"1.5 million dollars in baseball cards, FREE! Be quick, first come first served!"
5 customers total. 3 employees cant even keep track. No street sense
Best way is to look , if vendors had vendor pov camera's ... see if they're on it and post their faces everywhere! (Yes, also show the popo)
Holy. Man, 3 Mickey Mantle Rookie cards....Plus everything else. What a damn shame. Hopefully these guys can be found!!!
I bet the walls are slowly shrinking to a 5x5 in these guys head rn
You do realize for a non violent crime they will probably get probation lmfao.

@@God-hs4hc not sure where you went to jail. But usually grand thefts dont get probation
@@ctrl.copy.rights every prison in the country is overpopulated. I'd rather they keep the violent maniacs locked up rather than people trying to hit a lick.
What an amazing collection. I hope they’re found. I could only imagine how upset the vender is😢
Large Card Shows Now Need a Customer Registry Sadly... Yeah they waited til the show was winding Down.. to Run the Play.. HOPE THEY GET CAUGHT... I don't have near that Inventory but It's one of my Worst Fears in Life...
The crooks will probably pop the cards out of the holders and sell raw or regrade them.
Those dudes may have effed up big time with that one. They didnt know what they were stealing
Sneaky-Deaky
This transcends theft and moves into heist territory
You gotta imagine if they know high tier cards, they know to crack/regrade em... sadly.
Just a reminder that selling for under comps is stupid and you dont owe a buyer anything beyond haggling from the price the buyer chooses. If you cant afford, piss off.
especially if these cards are graded already thats the dumbest thing ever😂
How exactly is a grading company supposed to identify a stolen card that was cracked...?
Can't even buy laundry detergent at Walmart without getting sales associate, I think the seller needs to be responsible, one very expensive lesson
Dang rattle u hit a big case I’m all threw Tennessee keep a look out will hit you if I Come across some big base ball # getthecards back
If I had 2 mil worth of cards I’d always have my eye on them. Feel so bad for the owner tho, but dcs is always sketchy
Gotta have security if you're gonna be packing that much heat. This whole thing just screams shady to me. You don't just leave that much unattended like that, unless they truly are that stupid
What are the odds that Sean Bassik hired this team? I bet it's not zero. 😂
I'm gonna share this out and get em done!
Did these dudes just wake up and say “hey today we are going to a card show, specifically dallas and we are going to steal cards”. They must have spoke about how they were going to do it and succeeded.
Nah that was planned setup or there the best well rounded jack crew working this isn't amateur hour at all
u r dumb
Smooth setup let's see the smooth fence now .....
Imagine it had an airtag 😩
you should investigate those africans... it is always the same
Heard theres a $70k reward being offered
Holy crap bro
I know this is a weird thing to say, but I bet they’re Cubans. They’re dressed like americanized Cubans. I wonder if the black guys caught those Cuban accents. I bet those cards are on their way to Florida. (by the way, I’m Mexican, but I don’t mean this to be racist, I’m just saying what I’m seeing). Watch for these dudes (and the girl) in Miami, Tampa, etc…
The guy stacking the chairs has his fingerprints on them….
true but this was before the event. by the time it was over, lots of hands have been on them
I wouldnt even leave my psa 10 Dragonite non holo on a table there let alone half million dollars worth of cards js
It'd be handcuffed to me lol, there's zero chance I let that out of my sight for even 1 second. Literally insane to have it just sitting there..very shady
@JordanRA that's what I'm saying like come on.
I took them and I’m not giving them back
Thanks for sharing, hopefully they can get the cards back.
I know who it was. This guy i think his name is James and a woman named jesse
Horrible stuff, the amount of coordination crazy
You won't catch me 😂
Will get sold to collectors that want to pay half
Why pay half for stolen goods that you can't show anyone, can't sell and will likely be seized?
@@RattlePokemon I’m not advocating I’m just telling you who’s buying the cards the black market is real too
@@RattlePokemonthose cards are universally loved might have a buyer in China
I hope they get life in prison when they get caught.
The real thieves are the sellers
Pretty sure a case with babe ruths and shit is not leaving my side or eyes, ask me your question over here 😆 but at the same time there are people out there that can take the watch right off your wrist. Theyll get caught.
Literally just tie it to yourself or something 😂 anything. It was so far away from everyone and no one kept eyes on it. Super sketchy. Looks more like an insurance scam than a "grand heist"
