The missing card is the Sabo Red Manga Alternate Art card, graded PSA 10 Gem Mint by Professional Sports Authenticator, and police believe fewer than 2,000 copies exist. The Wyomissing Police Department is searching for two suspects captured on the store's CCTV footage. One suspect distracted the store owner while the other reached across the counter and removed the card from an unlocked display case. One suspect wore a light-colored Corona T-shirt and a red baseball cap; the second wore a black baseball cap, a black Nike T-shirt with orange lettering, and floral shorts. The PSA slab carries a unique security number that lets owners flag the item as stolen in the official database, and breaking the seal would drop the card's value from $8,000 to roughly $200. \"So you're not going to be able to sell it for, you know, what it's worth,\" said Max Hirneisen, owner of Symbiote Collectibles, to 69News.
