A burglary at a Massachusetts trading card shop has left the owners reeling. Security footage captured a thief smashing into 1st Edition Collectibles in New Bedford and stealing over $100,000 worth of rare Pokemon cards and box sets in just 30 seconds. The stolen goods included a highly coveted First Edition Shadowless Charizard and First Edition Shadowless Blastoise, along with vintage sealed booster boxes prized by collectors. Co-owner William Gilmour lamented the devastating loss, though his partner Sean Vieira acknowledged, “it’s just money. No one died.” Despite the setback, the owners plan to take a week off to “reflect, regroup, revamp, and come back even better.” (Newser)
