From the list of items in that story, several items listed are numbered autographs. If those turn up anywhere for sale they should be easy to identify. The Tracy Lancer card on the list is listed as a 1 of 1 for example.
I've shared the story on my facebook thread as well since I'm friends with several people in the trading card hobby. Even though most of us are in the north east part of the country, many of us do shop for cards and merch online. We'll be watching!

In the off chance that it's related, there was a similar in style break in 2 years ago at the MerryMac Games & Comics store in Merrimack New Hampshire.

The perp in this case took off with a bunch of Magic cards. There was only one person seen in video in this case but they were dressed similar with a ski mask.
