According to reports, close to half of the PSA-certified cards taken from a FedEx truck in Southern California are Pokémon cards. The stolen-card list published by PSA contains 6,451 items, and 2,978 are Pokémon, which works out to 46% of the inventory.

Based on reports, the stolen cards cover everything from vintage baseball cards to modern sports stars, which means Pokémon is just one slice of the theft.

The Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat came out of a collaboration with Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum, and its artwork draws on Vincent van Gogh's self-portrait.

Why the Prices Are Only a Guide

PSA's list leaves out grades. Because of that, the PSA 9 and PSA 10 prices serve only as a rough indicator of what the missing cards are worth, not a record of what was actually stolen.

Pokémon in the Wider Market

Pokémon took all five of the week's top TCG sales, which together came to more than $5.35 million, as TCGKing's Top 5 sales report details.

What It Means for Collectors

  • The top five cards account for 167 of the 2,978 stolen Pokémon cards.
  • Since the list shows no grades, the quoted prices give only a rough sense of the value of what is missing.
  • The two most-listed cards are a Korean promo and a Japanese promo.

What Is Still Unknown

  • The grades of the stolen cards are not included in PSA's list.
