Allan Bisson has been involved in sports card trading for 20 years and has owned his shop, Spokane Valley Sportscards, for the last seven. For Bisson its always been a fun part of life but after his shop was robbed on Friday, March 23rd he's having trouble enjoying his hobby.

Sometime Friday night the side window was broken and thieves made off with upwards of 1,000 sports cards. Shelves were smashed and cases torn apart in the process. Bisson says the most valuable cards taken were his vintage Mickey Mantle cards that date back to the late 1950s and are worth between $800 and $1200 each.

Bisson thinks the cards may pop up on sites like craigslist and eBay but that it's unlikely that someone will try to sell them to any of the other local card shops. He specualtes that since many of the his autographed celebrity cards were taken that whoever broke in may just keep them for their personal collection.
