    Maybe the staff will find it on the floor of his room just like they did when the guy at the last Chicago National claimed his 1968 PSA 10 3D Clemente was stolen.

    Yikes. Someone had to know that he had that card. Or someone from the hotel pocketed that thing knowing what it is. Still sucks, thats why ya need insurance on your collection!
    Collecting Ozzie Smith PSA 10's, 1949 Bowman PSA 5's, and 1949 Bowman PCL'S in any grade!

    I know the feeling. I had a NM-MT (this is before professional grading) '58 Bobby Hull rookie stolen from my house a long with several other high-end, high-grade vintage cards. Never recovered from the loss and was the main reason why I gave up collecting.

    "The card was assigned a grade of 4 by the Professional Sports Authenticator. That grade indicates that the card is in “very good-excellent” condition, according to the grading standards. Out of 106 of the identical card, only 11 received a grade of 4, he said."

    ...Not mentioning there are over 50 graded in better condition image
