For one thing I cant imagine a "pokemon " card would be worth anything of that magnitude.  If I were to buy something that expensive I would have traveled to get it.

Rare Pikachu Pokemon card sold for $195,000 in October, 2019 at a New York-based auction house.

This is a start of a good foundation for Class Action status, based on all the comments on the boards about lost shipments. Everybody gets a piece of the action. Sign up early and often.

Zaid works on fun cases. Maybe when I am sufficiently vested with my pension I will retire from my job and pursue some fun cases.

Are they at least coughing up on the $50K insurance?

I don't understand why they only insured it for 50k when it sold for 60k.  Even if insurance paid out, the buyer would be out 10k.

Good luck collecting even that. They'll claim it's not a total loss and since it's a collectible, it's value it subjective, thus we'll only pay you the cost of shipping plus an arbitrary value of replacement cost of our determination of say... around $10.00. (Because it doesn't matter what you insure it for, it only matters what the insurance company thinks it's worth.)

I'm trying to think what he was asking, wasn't it 300k or something?

Maybe going over $50k involved a substantial additional premium or that was the max amount with the carrier.
