Rare Fusion Strike Pokémon cards were allegedly stolen from a printing company and attempted to be sold to a local shop, which turned the thief over to The Pokémon Company resulting in the "largest return of stolen property to date" in the trading card game's history. Some collectors blame the theft for the set's already poor pull rates, but there is no evidence to support this claim.
A viral post showing hundreds of rare "stolen" Pokemon TCG Fusion Strike cards caused panic among fans, but it turns out the cards were seized by an individual, likely a private investigator hired by The Pokemon Company International, in January 2022. The cards were likely disposed of to prevent any impact on the market value of the cards in the future. The alleged thief's identity is still unknown, but it's unlikely that they affected the number of rare cards distributed in the Fusion Strike expansion.
