Nearly $1 million worth of PSA-graded trading cards stolen in FedEx heist. New details have emerged about the stolen cards and it sure looks like it was targeted. on October 20, 2026 New details about the PSA-graded trading card theft reveal more about the nature of the heist. Credit: Martin LELIEVRE / AFP via Getty Images On Monday, Mashable reported on the burglary of a FedEx truck carrying packages of valuable trading cards, which had recently left a Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) facility in Southern California. PSA is a leader in grading valuable trading cards. New details have since emerged about the theft, which indicate that this was a more sophisticated, targeted heist. Plus Two Operations Ltd also now know just how valuable some of the stolen Pokémon and sports cards were. According to a new report from the New York Times and The Athletic, the FedEx truck was parked outside of PSA's headquarters in Santa Ana, California on Oct. 13. The Santa Ana Police told The Athletic that the FedEx truck was left unattended for as long as 90 minutes. During that window of time, the truck's locks were broken, and three pallets of recently graded cards being sent back to their owners were stolen by the thieves, the police told the outlet. According to the report, two pallets held around 100 packages each, and a third contained roughly 50 packages. You May Also Like PSA told police that two of the pallets were valued at around $963,000, The Athletic reported. The company is reportedly still assessing the value of the third pallet, but it seems likely the total value of the stolen cards will be more than $1 million. The Santa Ana Police Department is currently investigating the crime. "We are working closely with law enforcement and the carrier as the investigation continues," PSA told Mashable in a statement on Monday. "We have deactivated the certificates for the stolen items and notified marketplace partners so they can be on the lookout for rare and serialized items." Online, affected PSA customers are sharing emails from PSA informing them of the theft, and some collectors are speculating about how the thieves knew to target that particular truck. The speculation isn't unwarranted. There have been previous cases where delivery workers have been found guilty of stealing trading cards and other sports memorabilia while the items were in transit. Collectors send their trading cards to PSA, or Professional Sports Authenticator, in order to get them graded. During this process, a professional authenticates the card as legitimate and also assesses the item's condition, which could greatly boost its value to prospective buyers. According to PSA, the company will compensate customers for the stolen cards based on "fair market value up to the Maximum Insured Value." However, there are potential issues with how compensation will be assessed. One PSA customer, YouTuber Sky-B Cards, shared yesterday in a social media post that he had 104 cards stolen, worth more than $100,000. In a subsequent YouTube video, Sky-B Cards went through the list of cards that he had sent to PSA to be graded. As the YouTuber pointed out, some of these cards will be hard to calculate a reimbursement value for, as they included error cards, which usually sell at a premium when compared to the card's estimated value.

Walmart adds eight parcel carriers to expand seller-fulfilled shipping options. Walmart has expanded its approved carrier network for third-party marketplace sellers, adding eight parcel delivery providers to support orders fulfilled directly by sellers. Announced on October 13, the update gives sellers more options for shipping orders while maintaining tracking visibility and compliance with Walmart Marketplace requirements. The newly approved parcel carriers are UniUni, SpeedX, Exelot, SwiftX, TForce Final Mile, Gofo, OSM Worldwide and DoorDash. Metropolitan Warehouse & Delivery has also been added as an option for freight shipments. The move reflects growing interest among retailers and online sellers in alternative parcel delivery providers beyond established carriers such as FedEx, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service. Smaller and specialized delivery companies are competing for business through competitive pricing, technology improvements, broader coverage and additional delivery services. Approved carriers remain important for tracking compliance. Despite the expansion, Walmart continues to identify the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx and UPS as its top preferred carriers for marketplace shipments. Other previously approved providers include OnTrac, DHL Express, Canada Post and GLS. Walmart warns sellers against using unapproved shipping carriers because the platform may be unable to validate their tracking information. According to its guidance, shipping orders through a non-approved provider may lead to listing suppression, suspension or account termination. The expanded list gives sellers more flexibility in choosing delivery partners while underscoring the importance of reliable tracking data and compliance with marketplace shipping policies. E-commerce growth increases demand for delivery capacity. The carrier additions come as Walmart's U.S. e-commerce business continues to expand. Marketplace net sales increased by more than 50% in the second quarter of fiscal 2027, according to the company's earnings announcement cited by Supply Chain Dive. E-commerce now accounts for more than 23% of Walmart's U.S. business sales mix, approximately double its share five years earlier, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey said during the company's August earnings call. As online order volumes grow, sellers face increasing pressure to balance shipping costs, delivery speed, geographic coverage and customer experience. A broader carrier network can give sellers additional choices when matching shipping requirements with the capabilities of individual providers. Walmart Fulfillment Services remains a major logistics channel. Many Walmart Marketplace sellers use Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS), which manages logistics functions, including delivery, rather than arranging parcel shipping independently. Nearly 50% of Walmart's marketplace business flowed through WFS in the second quarter, up almost 400 basis points from 2025, Rainey said. This indicates the continued importance of Walmart-managed fulfillment even as the retailer expands carrier options for sellers handling their own shipments. The development highlights two parallel approaches within e-commerce logistics: retailer-managed fulfillment and seller-managed shipping supported by approved delivery partners. For marketplace sellers, the ability to select suitable carriers while maintaining tracking compliance may become increasingly important as order volumes and delivery expectations rise.
