I've been collecting for forty years. I buy sell trade on many sites and places. Ebay has the most eyes but is actually the worst for sellers getting ripped off. On Ebay if a person says they didn't get the card they are refunded. When ever I decide to sell some on Ebay, I always quit when a few go missing. I've never had a card go missing off of Ebay. It's around 5% that goes missing on Ebay. Facebook groups are better then Insta.

Congrats on 2 years. I just saw your 1 year video today too. I got lucky at the LCS, bought 10 of the 18 OPC packs from a fresh box at only 4.5 a pack (I even told the LCS that he was giving it away at that price, but he was happy to.. which was awesome). Split the 10 packs up with my son and he pulled a Bedard premier. All in all it would have been like 1/33 boxes to pull the card, and we got lucky with a few loose packs. I think I'll continue to give reasonably priced loose packs out of fresh LCS hobby boxes a shot going forward, while staying away from ebay loose packs.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Hopefully once some of the Bedard cards start getting pulled and sold on eBay that the price goes down but over time it’ll still be a pricey box for a long long time unless Bedard is a complete bust which won’t happen. 15-16 (mcdavid rookie) box is still going for like $1000+ I think.

Great point. I don't think QC will be any different for this box unfortunately. We could talk for days about this ha. Part of the downside of a monopoly on the product. To their credit, they've built a good business over the years and kept some brands alive (O-Pee-Chee, Parkhurst) that would have otherwise died. But we'll also never see new brands/have any competition in the meantime (enter price gouging)...and the outburst gold 1/1 of Bedard...I wonder if that pull will really be left to chance. I hope and I hope it goes to a good collector! Thanks for watching and happy collecting.

Nice! It depends on what type of box you’re opening. You can get up to 3 autos in a hobby box but you can also get 0. There’s different types of boxes (hobby or retail). Usually you don’t get autos in retail like blasters. The full checklist usually has the odds and specifies what you can get in the different boxes www.cardboardconnection.com/2022-23-upper-deck-artifacts-hockey-cards/amp?fbclid=IwAR3mheH7sbDWek9QkJT7npw-tBVb59QKjVo4h8vy5DX1VZRttwAwt5LlOpk. I would ignore the “look for signed cards” as it’s just an advertisement. The checklist will let you know where you have a chance of getting an auto. Happy collecting!

good video the crosby is not a clear cut it is just a base card but kinda cool. the cost for you per card unless you bought the single doesnt make much sense if you are just dividing the number of cards in a box by the amount you paid because not all cards are created equal the base cards you are really not gong to get any return out of. best of luck on your prospecting tho would be careful on some of the players with no graded cards already and not many sales one way to look at it is filling the demand another way is that there simply is no demand or collectors of that specific player. another thing would be your predictions on returns are razor thin considering you will need to pay the 13% ebay fee plus shipping cost on your eventual sale so should take that into account unless you already are. I think as long as you are not truly doing this to resale for more profit and wouldnt mind holding onto those cards as collectibles then looks great but i do think if you are just grading to make profit you will probably do about break even when you sell this lot over time because of the less of a premium sgc cards have for sales then psa and other fee's like your shipping fee to sgc or the shipping fee from them back to you as im pretty sure you have to pay for both ways when grading. look forward to following your channel in the future found you from your other channel look like you are making great content and as a new ebay seller myself think it will be nice to follow your journey and maybe bounce some things off you or just talk shop about hockey, cards and ebay some time. hope this comment doesnt come off as negitive in any way i might be out of line dont have much experience with grading myself but just wanted to mention a few things that were going through my mind when watching the video have a good one!

They can and do usually sell, but they don’t hold as much value as the regular sized young guns in general. Of course all the normal factors play a part still in determining its value (I.e., player, set, condition, etc), but usually sell for less. I’m not a fan of them myself. I don’t keep the large top loaders for them on-hand, so if I sold one I wouldn’t have a top loader for it.
