The sportscard world seems to attract the dumbest criminals/scammers.
Well give him credit for not trying to sell it to the person it was mailed to.
The card shop where this USPS employee offloaded the stolen merchandise is the shop that is nearest to my home and the one that I frequent most often. The owner was telling me only as much as he was allowed to back in the summertime when this investigation was occurring. Postal Inspectors were on this guy pretty much from the get go, and had come into the store and asked to see surveillance tapes and set up an interview with the owner, to determine if he or any employees were complicit or had prior knowledge to the thefts. He was cooperative and they cleared the card shop and the employees completely.
I am glad he got caught.
"An investigation found that many other cards were missing, and four of them turned up at a sports memorabilia store where Robinson was caught on camera selling the cards in his postal uniform last year, according to prosecutors."

Gives new light to "going postal"....
Surprised he did not sign for delivery. To go along with his other faux pas.
