Props to @SKYBCards for putting out a very descriptive video on the MASSIVE PSA FedEx robbery.
I FIRMLY believe how @PSAcard responds to this incident will be a definining moment for them.

The ultimate irony of Age of Ultron is that Tony Stark actually got the savior he wanted, just not the way he expected. Ultron saw human flaw as a reason for extinction, while Vision saw it as a reason to protect them. Vision calling them both "disappointments" proves he isn't programmed to blindly follow Stark's ego OR Ultron's god complex he truly represents free will
Just found out another 169 card PSA order was also lost on that burglarized FedEx truck
He’s sending details shortly
Will try to catalog everything that was stolen from everyone and blast it all everywhere
🚨 Please Share 🚨
This is the current list of 383 serialized cards that were stolen from the Fedex truck carrying PSA packages. I will update as I receive more information

Stan Lee got a contract worth about $1 million a year for life. Jack Kirby, who drew the first Hulk, Thor, X-Men and Fantastic Four, was paid by the page.
In 1987, on Kirby's 70th birthday, they argued about it on live radio.
In the video below, Lee says: "I think Jack felt he wasn't getting paid enough. Of course, that wasn't up to me."
Kirby was a freelancer. No royalties. Lee wrote the dialogue, put his name on top and became the face of Marvel.
On the radio, Kirby summed up his Marvel years: "You turned in your ideas, and you got your wages, and you took them home."
"I did everything but put the words in the balloons," he said.
Lee called in. "Every word of dialogue in those scripts was mine."
"Jack, answer me truthfully," Lee said. "Did you ever read one of the stories after it was finished?"
Lee says he once offered Kirby a staff job at his own salary. Kirby said no.
Kirby wasn't the only one who left. Steve Ditko, who drew the first Spider-Man, had already walked out of Marvel in 1966.
Kirby died in 1994. In 2009, Disney bought Marvel for $4 billion. In 2014, his children settled with Disney, days before the Supreme Court was set to look at their case.
Lee lived to 95 and showed up in almost every Marvel movie.
One man became the face of Marvel. The other was paid by the page.
So who really built Marvel: the man who drew it, or the man who wrote it?
So apparently my recent sub that popped of 48 cards at the $80 each price point was also on the truck that got robbed.
As of now, I’m out around $8,000 worth of cards and just paid 4,000+ to have these graded.
All certs deactivated and no path forward yet either.
Received my submission from @PSAcard back
I was sold 8 x fake/counterfeit cards by this store on @eBay
eBay won’t do anything. Talked with them on the phone and they said to contact PayPal, since I used @PayPal but it’s crazy because this store has TONS of feedback of this
Paypal said they won’t do anything because it’s been over 30 days….
Do I have any other recourse?
Wow @dcsports87 after all the backlash you received in September for selling fake cards, you would imagine you’d want to make it right with a customer that you sold a fake card to. This is frustratingly disappointing. @CardPurchaser@SCN_Pod@SportsCardInv@itsgeoffwilson
JUST IN: Elon Musk unveils the Tesla Roadster by launching it off a ramp before the car flipped in midair and safely landed on the ground.
The car is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX.
One of the most insane things I've ever seen.
