Marsh's collection is valued at $20,000 to $25,000, according to the Seattle Times. The cards were stolen from the car Tuesday while Marsh's girlfriend was at a nightclub in downtown Seattle. The vandal smashed the car window and stole two backups, one containing cases of the cards and the other containing a team-issued iPad.

"Who ever stole my magic collection from my LR4 last night, if you are 12 plz return it and I will give you two tickets to next home game," Marsh said on Twitter.

"All you 12s do me a huge favor and retweet my last tweet. Other than god family and football, my magic card collection is everything," Marsh said.
