The rookie card was in fact so rare and in mint condition, that the thieves will be having a difficult time selling it without tracing back to Schneider, according to The Inquisitr. Schneider, an avid baseball card collector, is fond of collecting the likes of cards from the 1950s and 1960s.
Fortunately, despite Rob Schneider robber, the "Hot Chick" star has kept hidden separately his collection of Mays cards and a larger baseball card collection. The thieves weren't able to locate the collection.
