PSA has published the full list of what was stolen from the FedEx truck outside its Santa Ana facility: 6,451 items, each with its certification number. The list answers the question collectors have been asking since the theft, which is what was actually taken. Nearly half of it is Pokémon.

The update, posted on Oct. 23, 2026, is PSA's most detailed statement yet. It names a second investigating agency, explains how stolen cards will be valued, and adds a new option: an owner who has been paid can still ask for the card back if it is recovered.

CASE #0387 covered PSA's first customer email, and CASE #0390 covered the police account of the Oct. 13 theft and PSA's $963,000 estimate for two of the three pallets. This update adds the count, the list, the FBI and the valuation method.

What PSA Said

"Both the Santa Ana Police Department and the FBI are investigating the theft," PSA wrote. PSA says it has given investigators "video footage, shipment manifests, and item-level records." PSA's page directs victims to the FBI's Los Angeles office, at +1 310-477-6565 (press 1, weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), and asks callers to request the duty agent handling the PSA theft. Anyone with a tip is directed to the same line.

On the list itself, PSA said there had been "considerable speculation about what the stolen shipments contained," and that it was publishing "the complete list of all 6,451 stolen items, including PSA certification numbers and serial numbers for serialized cards." The certification numbers for every stolen graded item have been deactivated, and the list has been shared with "marketplace sellers, auction houses, and digital commerce platforms," which PSA says are monitoring for the items.

On money, PSA made four commitments:

  • Grading fees on affected orders have been refunded, and those refunds "are separate from, and do not reduce, compensation for the stolen items."
  • Orders shipped on PSA's return label are covered by its insurance, and "payments are already going out."
  • Orders shipped on a customer's own return label are being handled one by one by a dedicated team.
  • Compensation is "fair market value of each item, up to its declared Maximum Insured Value (MIV)." PSA says it sets that value from "comparable sales, realized auction prices, grades, population reports, and other relevant market data," shares the valuation with the customer, and uses "a broader range of historical comps and market trends" for rare items with few recent sales.

The last commitment is the new one. "Accepting compensation does not end our recovery efforts," PSA wrote. "If your items are recovered at any point in the future, you will be given the choice of keeping your compensation or receiving your item back."

What Is on the List

The list is a 93-page PDF with two columns, certification number and description. It gives no grades and no values. Every one of its 6,451 certification numbers appears once.

The single biggest category is Pokémon. Pokémon cards account for 2,978 of the 6,451 entries, or 46%. One Piece cards account for another 898. Together the two games make up 3,876 entries, about 60% of everything taken. Smaller groups come from Yu-Gi-Oh! (58), Dragon Ball (56), Lorcana (27) and Magic: The Gathering (16). Japanese-language cards are a large share of the total: 1,831 descriptions include the word "Japanese," 1,359 of them Pokémon.

Most of the cards are new. Of the entries that start with a year, 4,669 are dated 2020 or later, and 2,997 of those are dated 2025 or 2026. Only 202 predate 1980.

Several submissions were clearly bulk orders of the same card. The list holds 51 copies of the 1990 Hoops #65 Michael Jordan, 50 copies of a 2026 Korean-language Magikarp promo from Pokémon Mega Festa 2026, and 47 copies of a 2023 One Piece Monkey D. Luffy first-anniversary card.

The vintage section is small but specific. It includes a 1933 Goudey #144 Babe Ruth and a 1935 National Chicle #34 Bronko Nagurski. It also has a run of 50 cards from 1953 Topps baseball, among them #220 Satchel Paige, which PSA's list spells "Satchell." There are 20 tobacco and cinema cards of Charlie Chaplin from the 1920s to 1940, and 11 graded Topps baseball wax packs from 1963, 1972, 1973 and 1976.

Analysis: The list contradicts the picture most early coverage gave, of a theft of vintage sports grails. Some grails were taken. But by count, the typical stolen item is a recent Pokémon or One Piece card, often a Japanese-language promo.

What It Means for Buyers

Before the list was published, a buyer had only PSA's word that it had deactivated the stolen certs. Now anyone can check a cert number against the list before paying. A buyer looking at a recent Pokémon or One Piece slab has the most reason to check, because those cards make up most of the list.

Analysis: The keep-or-return clause changes the incentive for someone who later buys one of these cards. A recovered card is no longer simply written off once its owner has been paid. Its owner can ask for it back. That makes buying a cert on this list a worse bet, and makes a lookup worth doing.

No arrests have been announced. PSA says the investigation is ongoing.

The 6,451-item count settles how big the theft was. The list shows what was taken, and most of it is modern Pokémon and One Piece, not vintage sports cards. The new terms on compensation and recovery are written down and dated.

Confidence note: PSA's statements, the FBI contact details and the compensation terms come from PSA's Oct. 23, 2026 update on psacard.com. The category, year and duplicate counts are this blog's tally of PSA's published certification list, by keyword in PSA's own descriptions. The theft date and the $963,000 estimate are from police statements covered in CASE #0390. Passages labeled Analysis are the blog's interpretation.
