Be wary. Large sellers have multiple ebay accounts. They sell graded on one and raw on other. For example Four Sharp Corners (graded) and New England Sports Cards (raw)

Tip: You can put the minimum grade you’re willing to take on a card on when submitting to PSA. This way if it grades an 8 or below they won’t put it in that case and you can just sell it raw.

@jasongoodman9604

newb question, why would you rather sell it raw vs graded as an 8? would a buyer think they can get a 10 so pay more than they would pay for a graded 8?

@evanandrews2751

Jason Goodman yeah exactly when cards are below 9 they start to go for less than the raw card itself. This isn’t always the case but most of the time. Its better to not get it slabbed if it’s lower than 9 because someone’s more likely to buy it raw and try to grade it themselves than buy it as a psa 8.

Every raw card that exists theoretically could be a graded card one day. Precisely why I don't put much stock in slabbing modern cards. Its just an artificial and arbitrary means of making certain specimens of an unexceptional item exceptional.

Great advice on raw cards. Time for me to send some cards in for grading. Especially my 1984 Mattingly. Am I the only one that remembers that PSA used to differentiate between retail 84 donruss and the factory set cards? Retail cards were cut slightly bigger.

Nice submission! I just want to add to your comment about ebay sellers. That there are a lot of dishonest sellers on ebay. They know that their cards have damage and they don't disclose it in their listings. Those Optic holo's are definitely a tough grade. They had a lot of surface issues. On your Luka Holo I noticed a surface mark on the right border close to the middle. I saw it as you was moving it back and forth. I still think you did very well. You got a good number of 10's.

Sharp Cards - I’ll be anxious opening my PSA submission if that Ty Jerome only got an 8 🥴

That was just fun to watch. The curiosity of seeing which cards you had graded and what grade they got.

Starstock is awesome, typical early stage marketplace challenges, they need to ramp up supply but it has tons of potential

If you look at the Luka holo that graded a 9 around 14:46 I can see what looks like a surface dimple on the mid right side of the card, everytime you moved it left to right under the light it's there. Not sure if that's the case or card but I think it's y you got the 9. As someone else said, cross grade it to bgs and you have a chance at a 9.5

If you look at the top of the card it's been damaged buy the slab the way they closed it onto the card

great advice thank you

Great video and nice grades, I have that same luka card and it’s base.. also a lot of Ja’s and Zion draft picks.. definitely will need to get them graded.

I sell raw cards on eBay all the time I just like opening packs I hold onto the signatures and numbered pretty much anything besides base so I got everything else and sell that on eBay

Good job keep the last card don’t sale it. Very special memories. 🙌

I see with memberships with PSA you get bulk submission discounts but the declared value can't be worth more than $99.. Is there a way around this? I have about 40-50 cards that could be worth $200+

how do you think the flood following the back-log will affect prices? it looks like Graded Jordan stuff is down quite a bit so far in July... what kind of stuff do you think got submitted in the millions during COVID, aside from the Ultra Modern stuff which can only go down as pops spike soon...

My first time watching one of your videos. This was great. Do you have a video explaining how to send cards in for grading. I have 2 Topps LeBron rookies I'd like to send in. PSA s pricing is based on the value of the card. Do I pay assuming it is a 10? I dont understand how much money to send them.

Just gave my advice because no one else had! Keep Collecting!

💯 on the seller with RAWS. Atleast a 9 for a Lonzo is gonna have some movement

How do you send cards to get graded

the LUKA is clearly OC 60/40 left to right and 45/55 top bottom but you might squeeze a BGS 9.5 with 9 CENTERING if the other 3 SUBS are 9.5???

If you get it slabbed an 8, seeing how you're paying for the grading anyway, can you just remove it from the slab once you get it?

@santaclause3487

Right, this doesn’t sound right. If I was paying full price no matter what, I would say grade it out of spite. Like what a rip off if they charge u and don’t slab it. I would tell them to out of spite and break it myself. And if they charge u no matter what, why wouldn’t u get it slabbed? I think u would see way more 8s.

Thoughts about palantir PLTR and Beckett partnership?

I'm investing on Lonzo Ball rn. I want those psa 10s :(

On 1986 Fleer basketball I am seeing PSA 10s seem to have a little tiny corner white of other slight imperfections. Is that normal for this set?

Good grades Geoff!!

Does psa grade the back centering?? Cause 6:18 that eloy card is way off centered in the back and it got a gem 10 I'm confused.

I hate to go thru the grading process especially now

Amazing 10’s!

Thanks for sharing

Hey SportsCardInvestor great video! Love your channel and videos! Sick submission, congrats on some sweet 10’s on some amazing cards! Incredible Zion gold vinyl and dual auto of Ty Jerome and De’Andre Hunter! BTW I think your Luka Doncic Holo had a scratch on it, so maybe that’s why it got a 9. Keep making great content and stay safe!

Nice cards. Well I guess I won't be expecting my cards until next year...

Man your son was pumped on that pull. Best part about opening again is getting the son into the hobby.

This video with price on each card you show is perfect my be next time. Nice informative video do. Good job..

What i want to know is do you collect any cards that you keep for your own collection to enjoy not for money value. I hope that doesnt come across wrong jist wondering if you are a collector also, and what players or teams do you collect if so.

Would love for you to go back and check out the Lonzo Ball cards and see why some graded 9 and others 10. Maybe we can all learn from that. Checked out StarStock just not a fan yet. I love getting the cards I buy in hand. I have so many cards from my past that I have a hard time selling. Guess I am more of a collector than an investor. Wish I could change but it just seems to be my nature. To each his own.

you have incredible luck with psa! very successful results... alot of poeple get 6s, 7s and 8s you got one 8 and the rest bangers!
