Yeah man, I subbed to your channel from the original 1000000 card buy video! I've watched some vids here or there, but probably would have been more plugged in if you posted more 'update vids' on the collection. I think there's a lot of people who watch your vids that kind of identity with you, and that buy was so cool! Your normal card show stuff is fine, but we've seen it a million times on other channels, but your collection buy is unique! There's still time to lean into it, but either way, good luck!!!

Agree Boss, I'm gonna be doing more videos on how to sell off collections this year.
Thanks for the content Staks! Phoenix Suns fan here, they gonna hopefully win it all this year if the big 3 stay healthy 🙏🏀

I would enjoy doing a 1m card flip. Lots of leg and admin work but i do love the hobby and the conversation part of it.
Always love your content, keeping it real!

I appreciate that!
If you do it again, you could take some boxes back from your friend's house to work at your apartment. Thus would save you gas and time, as well as prevent you from getting overwhelmed by the mountain of boxes. Great video. Thanks for sharing the experience.
I commend you for trying, that’s a huge undertaking.
Thank you for the show. Golden state is coming through with a very strong team.
Bulls favorite team. Got Milwaukee taking it all this year.
Raptors! Great video man!
Great vid brotha!! Cavs, Bucks

THANK YOU
Gotta love the Grizzlies, esp with the new addition of DRose to return to Memphis and hopefully mentor Ja!
Very cool stuff. I just bought a collection of 60K cards pretty recently, and even that amount is proving to be enough that I don't know if I necessarily want to ever do it again. 1 million, I can't even fathom. P.S. fav team = Blazers, but I'm saying the Bucks are this years champion.
Nice content! Dame and the freak! Lucky to be a bucks fan
Very interesting video thanks for sharing. I like the bulls and hope they will win.

You and me both!
Moving that much in a short amount of time is very hard if you don`t have contacts ahead of time to move specific things to. Good job doubling your money. With the next collection you buy, and the stuff you learned, you will increase your profit margin alot. 👍👍 Favorite team = 1980`s Lakers Championship team this year = Nuggets
Great video and excellent advice

Great video. I bought a large collection several years ago thinking I'd go through everything quickly. Several years later and I still have a few hundred thousand cards that I've never gone through. I probably shouldn't have bought it. Favorite NBA team: Celtics NBA Champion next year: Bucks
DETROIT! I feel your pain in this. I bought a 75,000 card collection and it took me 3 months to go through. SO much fun though.

LOTS of fun finding new stuff you may have never seen. Just a lot of work
my favorite team is the grizzlies , i think the celtics are gonna win it all this year tho ! glad to see you at least made some ok money for all that time invested
My friend you are speaking total truth...
I'm in the same boat as you. Overwhelming amounts of cardboard, constant listing daily, it's a nightmare. Anyhow, my favorite team is the Celtics! Bird is the word! And I feel like the Bucks are gonna take it this time! No insta, sorry. I would not do it again either.
Great vid!!!!😊

Suns fav team , they are going all the way ! this is my first comment on any videos
Favorite team: Timberwolves. Bucks will bring home the 2023-2024 title!!
Jazz fan in Pa. Gotta go with bucks to win it all. Loved the video
Nice Vid. Glad it worked out but sounds like a ton of work. Favourite team: Miami Heat Championship: Boston Celtics as I think they have got much better with the trades this offseason.
The Hobby is hard to control ❤🎉
Timberwolves and let's see the twelve win it all this year!!
That seems like a lot of work but for 12k that's good money ! Great job. I love the milwaukee bucks and Giannis 😊 i really hope they win the championship again.

i agree would have been great to have more content on that huge collection. would have loved to see what was in that huge collection my favorite team is the San Antonio spurs, Championship = but the bucks are gonna win this year.
Favorite team - Pacers...NBA champs - Bucks. Enjoy watching videos on purchases at shows and collections.
Nice video. Love your content and transparency. Would love that card. Not on Insta. My favorite team is the Warriors. Think the Celtics might finally get over that hump.

It'd be helpful if you do a video on what to keep track of when it comes to taxes with cards
Great video. I get opportunities to do these kind of deals from time to time, but just haven't pulled the trigger yet. My favorite team in the stolen Seattle Supersonics and think the Suns will win the 2024 championship.
I watch chi city's breaks and love your re packs. My favorite team is lakers

The entire collection is gone. I sold it all back in May
You have to be much better organized. I am at the point I can strip a 100k collection in about 4 hours. find any decent cards quickly and box them. ship all the commons off to my junk guy. then sort into .25-50 cent-1.00 -2.50 boxes. everything 2.50 to 50 bucks goes off to COMC. sell everything over 50 at card shows. rinse and repeat.
One by one The way to go is one by one Patience
favorite team, wizards. bucks will win nba finals
Wonder what your average per hour rate was to double your money. Fav NBA Team - Denver Nuggets NBA Champs - Denver Nuggets
Happy Haircut!

Phoenix Suns if they can keep the big 3 healthy at playoff time.
favorite team- celtics but i think giannis will win another this year
Favorite team is Portland trail blazers and I believe the bucks will win with the addition of Dame Lillard
The Lakers are my favorite team an I thought they were going to win the finals but now I'm not sure cuz the Greek Freak got a all NBA caliber second option. Gianis an Dame are enough on there own but if Middleton can stay healthy an play 60 games an be healthy for the playoffs its pretty much a rap. Imagine trying to guard Gianis with Dame on one wing an Middleton on the other spottin up at the 3 an Lopez in the corner. With the deep range Dame got The freak is going to have so much room it's going to be crazy. And dame being able to just spot up an catch an shoot is scary. I could see Ganins winning MVP an Defensive player of the year cuz he could get 3 to 4 assist a game just drivin an kickin to dame. So that would bring his assist totals up to like 7 or 8. Plus averaging 27 to 29 plus 12 to13 rebounds an 2+ block 1+ steals shooting 55+ percent from the field. Damn that's scary. An completly possible. Lakers coming out of the west tho.

Im going through a similar issue. it wasnt a million cards but it was a truck full. maybe half of your load. Completely overwhelmed, not only with the sorting but the sheer amount of supplies I would need to properly store and resell them. I'm a month deep into it and finally making headway. Another issue I am dealing with is missing deals being too focused on this batch. Then sorting for grade, and deciding what gets sent in first. With this big of a load, I agree with your fast nickel than slow dime for the bulk of it. I sort for grade, value, relics, autos. All other is going into the bulk bins. For the price I got the load, one box made it back. $.003/card. It was a no brainer and yes ild do it again for the same price. That bathroom pic made me laugh.
Would love to do a 1 million card flip, would be a grind but sounds like even though you're hesitant you've learned enough you'd do it again haha Go Raps Martymaniac

Of course!
I’m a Knicks guy but I thinks it’s bucks or tics this year
Buying a 1M card collection assumes you will play the longer game. But yes, having contacts where you can move things quickly is also great. When I buy, larger things I try to determine ahead of time the amount of effort to break even and then have the rest... Also buying larger quantities will allow you to get cards a bit cheaper ala volume discounts. i also do hold onto certain things that I feel are undervalued. The point about the sheer volume is daunting - that is why I would ask the buyer to describe contents in boxes to help me expedite the "crap" so to speak. Final thing I have learned is that it is great to have both wholesale and retail customers for cash flow but you have to be careful at shows having special sales because then people expect that every time thereafter. Truly enjoy watching your evolution in this and your take - it is a refreshing version versus other ones that are basically puff pieces or far worse.
Favorite team is the bucks! But feel like the grizzlies will win the chip
Cool adventure! Should just have taken a few boxes at a time to your apartment to always have work on hand if you wanted to work. Im sure your partner was more inconvenienced having all that shit in their life 24/7 even if he did have a house. Great material!
Cool!
Kool video I am Warriors fan and think the Lakers win it all.
Favorite team is Philadelphia 76ers. 76ers will win the Championship this year.
My team is the mavericks but nuggets are going back to back
Good video .....my favorite team is sixers and of course i want them to win !!!

Great video. Very honest. Favorite team LA Lakers with Jerry West & Wilt the stilt. 2023 - 2024 champion: Boston Celtics Hate writing that. LOL
Denver all day
Bulls in 4
@mi3cards I'm rooting for the Timberwolves since I am here in MInnesota. They will not be winning the championship. Denver could repeat this year. Sending out that many cards to COMC at one time would have been expensive. I like them though. I buy on there every day. Would have been good to take a lot of cards and set them out in bargain boxes at local card shows. That would keep you busy. Could sell off the boxes at the end of the show for a discount as well if you find someone that would be interested. Seems like there are a few other dealers always trying to add to their bargain boxes. Good luck!!!
Favorite Team = 80's to 90's Chicago Bulls Championship Team = Hoping for Lakers
LA Lakers!
How much did you spend for the 1mil cards?

Com C is a seller but they’re amazing!
yo love ur vids. For the giveaway warriors are my fav team and I think the Celtics are gonna win it alll this year with the addition of porzinigis and holiday
Im gonna say the celtcis as a favorite& the celtics winning this year! Honestly man if my math is right you guys made 12K profit and 6K each for the amount of time you had in thats insanely low. When you expenses you didnt calc in thats nothing... you probably could have made more doing odd jobs for 13 an hr... im an enterpeur i get it , not all about the money... but you have to get your profit way way up.... cards is tough. In other fields i work in of collectibles, i make a lot heavier margins on items as much as 5-15x my money usually and no junk stuff to deal with. An old dealer once told me dont get involved with a project unless you making triple your money! Its a rule i always have tried to follow... that being said high dollar items lesser margins are ok like a 1k item you gonna flip at 1.7k thats worth the effort.
I also have a guy who will buy your parallels and other inserts in volume and he’s in the Chicago area he does every show and specializes in bargain boxes
