Rare Pokémon Cards Stolen From Eagan Arcade in Overnight Break-In

The theft highlights rising targeting of PSA‑graded trading cards and raises new security concerns for small collectors and shops.

Overview

  • Two people smashed a front window early Saturday, June 27, entered DUCK! arcade in Eagan and took about 20 confirmed rare Pokémon cards from locked display cases, according to the business and security footage.
  • Eagan police say the case is active and are asking the public to submit tips to reference case No. 26-3248 while limiting details to protect the investigation.
  • DUCK! has posted surveillance clips and a running list of stolen items with PSA serial numbers, and the shop is offering a cash reward for information that leads to recovery or identification of the suspects.
  • The store estimates the known haul at $25,000 to $30,000 and says the total value could rise as staff finish cataloging missing inventory.
  • Reporters and dealers link the burglary to a national surge in demand and prices for graded Pokémon cards, which makes them attractive targets and could prompt more stores to strengthen security and vet sellers.
