I mean, if it was a "regular" thief, he would have stolen the money, right? Instead he stole the cards, because in his mind they were more valuable than money. Probably (or perhaps) this guy wouldn't normally steal, what brought him to steal was the fact that he prized that specific object so much that suddenly it was worth to commit himself to a crime. He wouldn't have stolen money with which he could buy 100s of cards packs, but he stole the cards... Isn't that a consequence of the insanity of rarity-based collections?  :\I'm not sure but I think that in the 70s in Italy they made a law which prohibited to print rarity-based stickers (stickers albums were very popular in Italy, such as those about soccer teams) because the kids went crazy about that.In a way, a mature person is (or should be) perfectly able to play her CCG hobby and have fun without even thinking about stealing, but I am afraid for children it can get pathologic too easy and too quickly  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
