Overview
- State police released dashcam video and images Tuesday as they asked the public for tips and noted a possible cash reward via PSP Tips.
- The thief, who visited Nashcards on May 4, asked to inspect pricey items and then ran off with a sealed Base Set XY booster box and two graded cards worth about $9,550.
- Police say the man is in his 20s and fled in a tan SUV with Pennsylvania’s new Liberty Bell plate, last seen heading east on West Main Street toward Collegeville.
- Investigators listed the stolen cards as a 2021 Japanese Gengar VMAX graded PSA 10 and a 2005 Gold Star Metagross graded PSA 6, items that carry clear identifiers and current market values.
- Graded cards come sealed in labeled cases, which makes them simple to verify and flip for cash, a trend store managers say has fueled more thefts at hobby shops.
