Hey Randy, as a local business owner myself, my heart goes out to you. This is something we all dread. All I will say is; don't be too hard on yourself. Unless you literally left your doors wide open and unlocked, the people who broke into the property and stole from you are responsible, not you. I know as a business owner it's habitual to take things on the chin when they go wrong, but this one isn't on you by the sounds of it. All you can focus on is how to move forward. It might be hard to process and seem like an incredible obstacle at the moment, but 5 years from now you'll be able to look back on this as a huge learning moment and period of growth. Keep your head up!

Randy bro youve got this, youve got such a large and strong community, mentally i know youre going through it as it is, take each day as it comes! If you dont want to get out of bed one morning, lay in but make sure you do still get up at some point! We need you❤

[@lauraknight1967]

I'm really sorry to hear about this! I have been planning to send some cards to grade with you (this will be my first time grading anything), and I'll still be sending them your way! Keep your head up - the team's designs are fab and the quality of the slabs is amazing! 🌼💓

[@MisterFrossty]

I am one of those customers, first time going with Ace and for me I don't care about monetary value unfortunately attachment and memories with them, but we move I trust you're doing everything in your power, it just is what it is, regroup and rebuild ♥️

@@mhutch5082 your in so many comments , chill out and have some sympathy, anything you lost doesnt even account for 1% of these peoples livelihoods are at stake.

From the explanation here about the current security there it's obvious that its an inside job. He won't say it because if they can't find the culprit it will put people off grading with ace until that person has been found out. I feel bad for Randolph and anyone who had cards taken.

Best of luck Randolph and the rest of the ACE team, stay strong, I'm just a random Pokemon fan but I'll be cheering for your and your customers' recovery nonetheless :)

[@HaiderTonight]

Stay strong Randy! Everything will be alright, just hang in there. We all love and support you!

[@KingZangoose-ABN]

Jeez that's horrible, I feel so bad for the people affected and the company and yourself hope everything works out somehow, persons found cards are recovered ect somehow. Prayers for you guys, hope you're ok.

[@UmbreonHunter]

Keep your chin up Randy as someone who is effected by the break in I don't hold you or the guys responsible for this. Some people are just A- holes I will continue to use Ace 100% not your fault ❤

[@clarko1]

I'm so so sorry this has happened to you. I have previously believed in you to grade my favourite and most valuable cards, and WHEN not IF you get going again, I will submit many more cards to you for grading. You will bounce back, Randy. We believe in you mate, chin up, keep smiling. We love you man ❤. Thank you for all you do.

[@jacobpayseno9392]

Love you big Randy, don’t give up. You’re a great man and you’re always so positive. As someone who’s felt like everything’s been going horribly lately we need people like you out here ✌🏼

[@jess-kook]

I recently got back into Pokémon, and I committed to collecting physical cards when I saw the Twilight Masquerade Tatsugiri full art with the custom Ace label! It stole my heart how amazing the Ace label goes with the card (and now my wallet wishes I had never seen it in the first place). Ace, the team, and you are contributing so much to the community - the positive energy, commitment, and integrity behind everything you do does not go unseen! We're here to support and Ace will come back stronger than ever!❤

Bruh can't find you on "Omegal" but can find you here WTF anyways howdy :)

[@lenny365]

Can you make a general list of cards that are stolen? We can cross check eBay and whatnot to check time and place.

[@Djordymans]

Things like this will be sold in small amounts and likely underground sales etc

[@defensivebenny3153]

I don't think they're that stupid to sell online. Either crack and regrade, sell raw or sell it 1 at a time over a long period.

[@ReaperJDS]

Mine was a full set of mint ash's Pikachu cards possibly all 9-10's 😢

[@ditokelio7860]

They will sell them in person, have direct contact with people or ship them abroad. We can always look out and try cross check people who sell expected cards with previous suspicions but its almost impossible to prove. There was a shop that got robbed of about 1mil in stock in the UK before so maybe if we find suspicious cards from them and also from now it could have a chance, we can pray.
