Ben Burrows from The Athletic joins Mike and Jesse to give us the latest on the massive theft from a FedEx truck full of PSA slabs. The latest numbers are staggering. Over orders, seven-figures worth of cards, hundreds of slabs. Stolen in broad daylight from a locked FedEx truck that was suspiciously abandoned for 90 minutes.
We wrap up with voicemails and have an updated Mt. Rushmore after Tuesday's show.
