whatnot the land of the givvy goblins. ive spent over 100k on that site in the past but those days are over.
Are you planning go your local GameStop sell your graded sports cards. Compare the price how much you can get from eBay, card show vs GameStop by selling your graded sports cards.
You should promote your whatnot show when you make a video about it.
They have whatnot marketplace you can list your card there.
whatnot is a platform for the ones that already have an audience. Thing is, they are drawn in from other social media platforms like youtube channels and are not generic from that specific platform. Not for me. thanks for sharing, great week to you!
Thanks for sharing
You take Keane as a good example on how to have success. His KZread connects to his buyers and he runs 200-400 cards almost every night and starts everything at $1 and does "sudden death" auctions and he has built his brand and gets 60-100 people per night. But it's so much work, such a grind and 3-4 hours after in preparing shipping.
I've been using COMC for a while It's better than Ebay
In my opinion, even if they did detect a trace amount of something, that Wemby card is huge. PSA wants their name on cards like that. I doubt they would ever decertify it knowing how big the card is for the hobby and their reputation
I can make profit off a whole submission without getting any PSA 10's... it's all about the specific cards that are graded and know what collector's have an interest in. Find a niche and get really good at knowing how those sets grade then expand.
I think the part you say about finding a niche and expanding from there is great advice. Find the spots that work and gradually spiral out from there.
So basically any numbered refractor is good
They can have different 'demand' a bit, and with too many parallels people get more picky about 'demand'.
how long did they take to come in?
I ordered cards over a period of about two-weeks, then hit the 'weigh all' button, and it took about a month to get my shipment weighed and then another month before it was sent, and then another week before it arrived. All in, I got the cards 2.5-3 months after I won them in auction. That being said, in my recent purchase, they got it to weighing my package within about a week, so they may be speeding up.

Keep in mind, the only one who earns money for sure is PSA, with grading fees more then double of CGCs, it is unlikely that they do not earn a pretty fortune.
100%, they are making bank on the hobby. I don't know how they managed to position themselves the way they have. They aren't objectively better than other graders, but they certainly have managed to corner to market
Grading is a scam. PSA siphons at least $25million a month from the hobby.
They are definitely raking in the dough. It's crazy to me how massive they are in the hobby space.
As tempting as it is to move everything to COMC I just can’t get past the fact that after I pay all the fees to list and sell my cards that I then am charged another 10% to get my cash. That’s absolutely wild imo when many consignment sellers will do an ACH payment free into your checking or savings account.
Yeah, I could understand that. I did make a video awhile back that looked at the actual fee structure with concrete examples and what I found was that all things added in, the amount COMC takes in the end and the amount eBay takes in the end almost evened themselves out, especially if you do a handful of listings with eBay promotions. I personally use a good amount of my COMC sales to buy other cards as well (either for my pc or to flip on the platform or to flip to sell elsewhere), in which case they don't take that 10%. But I do understand what your saying, that cash-out fee ain't my fav.

Great Content! This is a wonderful video. You spoke about cards I do not have.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm thoroughly inspired by this video! Subscribed for more inspiration! - "Embrace your dreams with unwavering determination and boundless resolve."
Does CARD HOBBY declare the actual value of what you purchased on the package? Wondering about custom duties...
I'm actually not sure, now that I think about it. All I can say is that from my experience, I've had 4-5 shipments, valued from maybe $750 at the low end to about $2K at the high end, and I've never had to pay any customs fees. But I'm not actually sure what they are declaring when they ship it off.
way to sell fakes... china doesnt get real cards... any cards u see in china are 100% fakes...
That's so clearly not true. China has a massive sports card community, probably second only to the US. Xenophobia much?
Great video and insights Solid hustle
Appreciate that, glad you enjoyed the video
well done Javad!
Thanks!
Um, instead of a blank piece of paper, print a packing slip.
Awesome man!
It was!
Great experience with family Priceless
It definitely was a blast.
what a fathers day. Congrats
Thanks man, it was a blast to open those with the fam.
Only need 3 cards to complete. All graded PSA 4-7. Great set.
Thats awesome! Good luck on those last few
I heard GameStop are buying your graded sports cards now. I saw one KZreadrs cool factor cards sell his graded sports cards. Are you considering selling your graded sports card at GameStop. It could be interesting video in your channel. You can compare comp vs GameStop gives you how much they pay you in cash?
Thats a very interesting video idea. I might have to find out if the GameStop in my area is doing this. I read that only some branches of GameStop is doing this, but since sports cards aren't as big a thing in the Pacific NW where I'm at, I would be kind of surprised if the GameStops around here were doing this. I will have to go check it out next I'm near one.
@@scoa go their website they tell you which GameStop participants in your area
You heard buysportscards have a promotion in June. They will pay you list your sports cards in their website
Greatvideo.Wouldlovetoseewhatyoupaidforeachcard
I have another similar one coming up in the future that doesn't list what I paid, but I'll try to do that for the next time I get a batch like this in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@scoa how much was the gold hoops Giannis? Those were high back in 2020
@@TheCardHunter That one was right around $100 after fees. Looking now, that looks like it might be closer to right about current comps. i bought this a few months back (takes a few months to get in person} when comps were more like $150.
Are you going try 5 dollars live auction in COMC? If you can make more money?
I put one up one time, and didn't do so well. I also have gone in as a buyer to some of those streams and that has made me not want to submit as a seller to those. Don't think they do as well as I'd want them to if I was gonna spend that much for a submission and risk it.
Can you post the source on how humidity has been proven wrong?
I don't have any of the sources on hand I was using when making this video 2 years ago. But I kind of remember the humidity issue being related to cards that had never been opened, and were in their plastic packaging, which would prevent humidity from reaching the card, have many times still ended up being hulked out versions of the card when first opened.
I came back to the hobby late into the downturn. Looking at things from a prospective of the 90s.. I see alot of similarities, but with a great amount more risk. I buy a few graded vintage cards, but it's way too volatile for me. The place I tend to focus is buying collections in bulk. Then at least after the work you have value for your efforts.
Collections in bulk can definitely be a good way to go. Definitely needs a lot of time though! I bought one massive collection a few months back and ended up basically just reselling it as a bulk collection again just because it was taking so much time to go through.
Wow, you are really picky. 9 graded cards as the upper limit to keep in your collection is really tight. Good for you. Currently I am doing "pregrading" for $9 with CGC. that gives me more than 2x the chance than going directly to PSA. Totally agree, thicker cards are harder to grade, but that also goes with black or darker borders.
It's easy for me to be picky about graded cards for my PC, since I don't find much personal value in having a graded card for myself.
what are the starting bids on those no bids?
Starting bids on all of comc's ebay live auctions are $0.99
I’m thinking of getting a prizm box this year, should I buy tons of blaster boxes, or just one whole mega box (aka hobby box, which you probably know) Thanks for this informational video!!
Oh man, I really don't know the answer to that question. I actually don't buy a whole lot of sealed wax myself, tend to just aim for singles. It seems the general knowledge spread is to aim for hobby instead of retail, in general, if you are going to rip wax, but I really don't know for sure. When I open packs, it tends to be blaster boxes, but that's just because I rarely open them and just do it occasionally for a fun experience with no expectation for getting much monetary value out of it type of thing.
Great thanks, thoughts on fat packs? The blasters for prizm this year seem to be over priced, thanks for answering my question, new subscriber earned!
@@tradernottraitor2731 Welcome to the subscriber team! I don't have any strong thoughts on fat packs, I do think there tends to be a lot of base cards in there, which isn't necessarily what I'm looking for. Prizm in generall this year, I'm not too keen on for packs. In both basketball and football, so many of the best young rookies have exclusive autograph contracts with Fanatics, so they can't be found in Panini products. To me, that brings down the ceiling of those packs by a really significant amount. And I'm not such a fan of parallels, so it makes it hard to be excited about much of anything in there.
Once again, thanks for the great info, I ended up getting Prizm draft picks box, if you ever get hands on one you should record. Have a great one man!
Comc Ebay live auction?
Yeah, COMC hosts live auctions on Ebay Live every monday through friday.
Fees are just a bit too high for me, especially when time to cash out.
I can understand. I've done some math of my sales and found that overall, when all is considered, the percent eBay and COMC take from me actually end up being pretty much the same all things considered.
You said you have 2 top loaders. What’s the second one for?
I used to use an extra one for added protection. I don't do that anymore though
@@scoa Oh ok yeah that makes sense
Did you see COMc doing 25 percent off submission promotion for standard until June 17. You should take advantage the offer
Yeah, I see that. I probably will be sending in a batch of cards.
That was an informative video. I still cannot find the live stream auctions but it seems like from your video, I am not missing much.
If you have the patience to find the hidden gems in the streams, you can find some really good deals as a buyer. If I was to give anyone advice at the moment about the live auctions, that's probably where I'd point people to look. It's only accessible on the app though, can't get to it through a desktop/laptop.
Only about 90,000 numbered cards in total???? This insane I got a single Jordan card /100,000 lol
amazing video man, im getting intp cards now. im doing it to make money which i dont really need atm but mainly for the fun of it too.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Enjoy the hobby, and glad to hear you're in it for the fun of it. That's where it's at.
I found the best way to make money on COMC is to not sell on COMC.
Haha... did you used to sell on COMC? I still sell on there quite a bit and find I do pretty well overall.
@@scoa I still have a small handful of cards on there but I had most shipped back to me. Between fee's, very slow shipping and processing I had enough. My auctions never ended well and lost way more than I care to admit but I never tried the live auctions.
Unlicensed cards with sticker autos and non-associated patches. Why would collectors want that?
Shill your live cards with a burner acct. I have 3 of them
I'm definitely not doing that
Hahahahahaha
People not paying on ebay in any form is a problem. Theres no reason there shouldnt be a card on file that gets auto billed. Even whatnot does this.
Hi! Messaged you on Instagram, and really want to consign some cards with you guys on CardHobby
i rarely sell 3-4 cards a month on comc... over 1200 listed...
Wow, I'm really surprised. Mine sell several per day. Maybe you need to reprice or have a sale
