Jessi Kahlo, the co-owner of the store says they sell just about any board game or collectible."It was very clear that they probably had visited the store and probably scoped out exactly what they were going to come in for," Kahlo said.
A thief broke into the store though the side door, and can be seen on camera shoving binders of cards in a pizza bag before making a swift exit.The thief stole 1600 Magic the Gathering cards.They can range in value, some are worth thousands of dollars. "I've never had to deal with anything like this," she said."The impact of this is absolutely detrimental to my husband and I and all of the progress we've built over the last three years."She says it's because the cards aren't able to be traced.Kahlo's husband started collecting in 1994, and has been trading and selling ever since.
"They're valuable because they're old. Because they're rare because they're hard to get a hold of," Kahlo said. For now the owners are leaning on other local businesses who are stepping up to help anyway they can.Kahlo says other gaming store are keeping an eye out for the cards to be sold.
