Magic: The Gathering cards worth an estimated $300,000 were stolen from Pastimes, an Indiana gaming company, last week during Gen Con in Indianapolis—one of the largest gaming conventions in the world. Zack Reiter, a manager at Pastimes, confirmed via email to io9 that it was his store that was affected by the theft. WRTV, a local news station, ran the initial story.
It’s an incredibly busy day at Gen Con—the annual tabletop gaming convention held in Indianapolis—and the Pirate Borg table is full of books, dice, and, off to the side, a galleon figurine. The galleon is suitably manned by skeletons, half-dead pirates, and I think I spotted a shark or two shadowing the water.
