PSA has published its stolen cards list, the certification numbers of all 6,451 graded items stolen from a FedEx truck after pickup at its Santa Ana, California, facility on October 13, the grading company said in an update dated October 23. Every one of those cert numbers is now deactivated, and the Santa Ana Police Department and the FBI are investigating.

What's on PSA's stolen cards list

PSA's list is mostly trading card games. We counted the item descriptions in PSA's PDF by game name: 2,977 lines mention Pokémon and 898 mention One Piece, which together make up about 60% of the 6,451 items. The rest are mostly sports cards (baseball, basketball and football), plus smaller groups of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball, Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering, Naruto and Gundam cards.

ICv2's October 26 report picked out some of the best-known items, including 1999 1st Edition holo Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise and a 2005 Shonen Jump One Piece CCG promo.

How to check a graded card before you buy

A slab from this theft shouldn't verify on PSA's cert lookup anymore. Before you pay for a PSA slab:

• Look up the cert number on PSA's site and make sure the card, grade and year match the slab in front of you.
• Search PSA's PDF for the cert number if the lookup fails or looks odd. A match means the card is on the stolen list.

If you think you've been offered a stolen card, PSA asks people with information to contact the FBI's Los Angeles office at +1 310-477-6565 (press 1, business hours) and ask for the duty agent about the PSA theft.

What it means for collectors

If you had an order in this shipment, PSA says you don't have to wait for the investigation to end. It has refunded grading fees, separately from compensation; orders on PSA's return label are covered by its insurance, own-label orders get a dedicated PSA team, and dealer submissions go through the dealer. If an item turns up later, its owner can keep the payment or take the card back.

For everyone else, thousands of Pokémon and One Piece slabs now have certs that won't verify, so check the cert before any slab purchase in the coming months. For how PSA's current tiers and wait times compare with other graders, see our PSA vs CGC vs TAG vs BGS comparison.

What's next

• Investigation: ongoing. We found no reports of arrests or recovered items as of October 31, 2026.
• Updates: we'll update this story if PSA or the police post more.
