Yakima police say a group of men planned a vicious attack to try and steal collectible sports cards.

Three men face robbery and burglary charges for forcing their way into a man's home off of Nob Hill Monday night.

The men allegedly planned to steal the victim's collectible sports cards, and rushed the homeowner with knives.

The victim fought back using a couple hammers.

He's expected to be OK.

You know things are bad when you are getting rob for a Jake Plummer gu!!! I guess I will start carrying a living will when I go to the card shop...lol

What's this world coming to? A person got robbed near here a few weeks ago.
One of the people who sells stuff at the local flea market was living out of a mobile home at the flea market and had a storage trailer full of merchandise with him. He sells power tools, electronics, sportscards, racing items, and sportcard supplies, as well as other items. I stop buy his area at the flea market once every 2-3 weeks to get good deals on supplies and 1/64 die cast. He got robbed by a group of thugs who stole his trailer with $50,000+ in stuff in it including a 50+" flat screen TV. I don't know all the details, but he said he just feels lucky they didn't kill him. They got the perps on camera, but no one has identified them yet. The flea market has no security guards either and this isn't the first time people there got robbed.

And we say all the time... "they are just little pieces of cardboard"! Yeah, but to someone that could have nearly lost his life for them. Truly sad what the world is coming to!!!
