Major John Wayne lobby card robbery alert

Major John Wayne lobby card robbery alert:

I am very sad to report that a long time collector has had a number of his highly prized (and very rare) FIRST release John Wayne lobby cards stolen.

Many of these are incredibly rare, so if you are offered any of these, it is quite likely they could be the stolen ones, especially if there are several cards together.

Here are a few of the titles that were stolen (all are COMPLETE SETS of eight and the first release, except for Stagecoach, which is 5 cards):
Stagecoach
Searchers
Man from Utah
Man from Monterey
Westward Ho

plus many other cards, including not as rare titles, like complete sets on:
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
Rio Grande
Rio Bravo

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY INFORMATION YOU MIGHT HAVE, SO WE CAN TRY TO HELP THIS COLLECTOR RECOVER HIS VERY RARE CARDS

That sucks, desc. Can you tell us how they were pilfered? From a convention table, home invasion, etc?

We're pretty sure how The Duke would handle this, right?
