Cards · 26 October 2026

The stolen-card list protects only those who check it.

On 23 October 2026 PSA published the full list of the 6,451 items stolen from a FedEx truck after pickup at its Santa Ana facility on 13 October. The list gives each PSA cert number, and the serial number for serialized cards. PSA says it has deactivated every cert on the list and shared it with marketplaces, auction houses and digital platforms. Santa Ana police and the FBI are investigating. Police put the value at $963,000 on 20 October, and said the exact figure could not be set until the remaining boxes were scanned. No arrests had been reported.

Roundup · 25 October 2026

Every check this week answered one question, and stopped there

A cert lookup, an export count and a holder inspection each prove one thing. This week showed where each of them ends, and what the record has to carry past that line.

Cars · 24 October 2026

A seven-figure car bought on a screen is bought on its record

Hagerty counted a dozen cars sold for more than $1M online in September, against eight in a sale room. Fewer top-end cars now carry a reserve. The free VIN checks a bidder can run from home were built for cars made from 1981 on.

Why verification and price go together

A price is only as good as the item behind it.

We record what an item is, against its cert or serial, and keep that record with it. The price that matters is the one behind an item whose identity holds.
