A pair of graded Proof Morgan Dollars stolen from New England Patriots’ star Rob Gronkowski’s home during the Super Bowl were found quickly thanks to the their certification numbers that come with their slabbing.
Professional Coin Grading Service, aka PCGS, which is a sister company of Professional Sports Authenticator, certified the coins and they were found thanks to the info on their slabs. According to PSA, the Foxborough, Mass., police didn’t have any leads until Numismatic Crime Information Center founder Doug Davis shared the coins' info via the NCIC network. They were found quickly after that.
"Within 30 minutes of sending out the alert, I received a call from another dealer who advised he had the coins and the identity of the person who sold them,” Davis said.

There are a lot of cardboard discussions that happen daily over on the Blowout Forums, but there's one that's just getting going that's bound to grow into something fun.

Shohei Ohtani put on two shows Sunday -- on cards and field

Shohei Ohtani is off to a red-hot start in his first month as a major-leaguer and there were two ways to see it on Sunday.
One was on the mound where he followed a week of notable home runs with a stymying performance that flirted with perfection, while the other was on eBay where one of his rarer and most in-demand baseball cards carried just as much heat.
The card is his red-ink auto from 2018 Topps Heritage and this particular copy was pulled by fellow big-leaguer and collector Pat Neshek, who sold it on eBay Sunday night for $6,101 after 114 bids. Ohtani made his in-pack MLB debut there with one unsigned short-printed card with two autographs, a blue-ink card and this one, limited to just 69 copies.
But on the field is where Ohtani shined once again.
