PSA finds more parcels from the FedEx theft but keeps their certs private

PSA has found more parcels from the Oct. 13 FedEx truck theft, after a user discovered an editor's note the company added on Nov. 10 to the post where it published its stolen list. PSA says it found them by reconciling shipment manifests and outbound logs. It says the items were insured and that it's contacting the owners directly. It doesn't say how many parcels, how many slabs or which ones. NEO Cards & Comics caught the note on X a day later.

PSA says those certs are already deactivated. It will only "share additional certificate numbers as the investigation allows." The PDF it posted on Oct. 23 still lists 6,451 items and hasn't changed since that day. A buyer who checks a slab against that list, or against our search of every cert on it, gets a clean result on any of the new ones.

PSA's own cert lookup does catch them. Type in 177980867 for the 1999 1st Edition Charizard from the first list. The page says the number "has been intentionally deactivated" with the grade marked "UNAVAILABLE."

I get why PSA is careful here. It found the new parcels in an audit it says it ran to support law enforcement's investigation. It shared the first list with marketplace sellers, auction houses, and digital commerce platforms. It says it's working with "marketplaces and partners" on the new certs too. But nobody working a card show table is checking a list they can't see.

PSA turned the first list around 10 days after the theft. That list has been the public check for buyers ever since. PSA should post the new cert numbers the same way, as soon as possible. Until it does, run every slab through PSA's lookup before you pay. The list alone can't catch these. If you find a deactivated cert, don't buy the slab. If you think one came off that truck, the FBI asks you to call its Los Angeles office at 310-477-6565 and ask for the duty agent on the PSA theft.
