22 MISTAKES I WISH I KNEW *BEFORE* Selling SPORTS CARDS!

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

What are some things YOU WISH YOU KNEW 10 years ago?

Should have picked up MORE 60’s of baseball and 70’s basketball..🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@skipthebase]

@@CHASINGTYWILSON 1)Never invest in pitchers, running backs, and wide receivers long term. 2) Most new release modern cards and players actually go down in value. 3) Define your PC from your selling inventory and don’t “cross the streams”. If you are also a collector it can get really tough at times to separate the 2 (pc and inventory)

I have been binge watching the channel as I list cards tonight, Really awesome videos with some straight up tips and advice Ty!! I just started my ebay store a week ago just doing low end NASCAR cards and I have already made 11 orders, and your videos have encouraged me to do more posts than I already am. I feel there's a ton of money incoming to the sports card industry. God bless you!! I bet you guys are going to have a record breaking year. 🙏

[@Sportscardwhatever]

What a simple concept of a video, but one jam packed with experience and examples. THANK YOU! A relevant video to be able to come back to again and again.

[@CheithKeith]

Ty. You’re a real one man. Appreciate the education my friend

[@CliddyT]

Absolutely loved it. Thank you me and a very good friend of mine or trying to start reselling ourselves and he sent me this video. It was very good

[@civicminim]

Some of these hit home! Great takes Ty!

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

Appreciate that!

solid video, appreciate the wisdom!

Thank you!

Really appreciate the insights Ty, thanks for sharing!!

It's refreshing when you finally find someone with mature advice on this topic.

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

Ha. Well, I appreciate that. I'm telling my wife that you think I'm mature. ;-)

[@curdt79]

@@CHASINGTYWILSON haha, at least you're mature on this topic! Better than those dudes saying this will 10x with a thumbnail of them mouth wide open pointing to an overpriced card.

Cool video, and some awesome advice

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Some great advice in there, especially with specialization!

Some goodies in there. Thanks

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed

Consistency is key! Started my channel 6-7 months ago, goal has been 2 forms of videos/week. Once I became consistent, the # of subscribers have followed! My eBay followers have grown too!

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

Yes!!! Way to crush it!! I'm going to tune in!

[@MeeMee-ih6tu]

So many good pieces of advice

Your utube channel is great I'm a big fan Mr. Wilson. And happy Thanksgiving to you and your family godbless 🙏

[@Richard-w6o8m]

How do you make the search the strings? I would love one for soccer and TCG

[@defiendetu2a717]

Man I start couple month ago I wish I have this information before. I have spend more than 7 k ripping. and now I have thousands of cards that I have no idea what to do with. 😢

[@carolinatarheels7903]

Your comment is the voice of 99% of the resellers that thought they could make a profit jumping into a hobby they knew nothing about in 2020.

[@glc424]

Excellent advice, I only sell to reinvest in my PC. Unfortunately have tons of dead inventory from buying into breaks & buying new sealed product when in releases. The thrill on opening/chasing hits is hard to pass. But does give me opportunity to sell to buy what I want/like. ANGELS for me PC rookies, jersey numbered cards or if it's numbered 24 of whatever being 24 is my number. Thanks for sharing advice.

[@Richard-w6o8m]

Thank you

[@joshshulkin-l1e]

Thanks Ty. I juyst signed up for your email list. I have a nice collection from about 1973-1992 I pretty much have everything. Im going to just keep 1 of each and sell the rest, mostly cards in the1-10 dollar range. Do you (when selling) think its best to group lots by player or by year. I list my 7 extra 1980 Nolan Ryan nrmt-mt cards as a single lot, how much (x6) should I raise the price vs. recent comps?

[@williamdunlapwaxnews]

Some very good information provided. I am what you would call a card hoarder so i rarely sell. Been ripping topps 2024 update baseball daily. Rookie checklist is awesome.

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

You like Update that much?

[@NuthinFancyCollectibles]

I do sell on occasion, but I probably should sell on a more regular basis. #12 is very important when it comes to selling. Comps don’t always measure up for either party. #14 can be the key to it all….making relationships. That is good for both parties. All the other tips are spot on, Ty. Thanks for taking the time to share. There is one eBay store I’m glad I discovered…..Chasing Cardboard!

[@scottfiscus1431]

Thank you for the video. Enjoy your content. I am a smallish side hustle seller but I am at the point where I have too much inventory. Would you suggest I just stop buying for a while so I can just list and sell? I see good buying deals all the time. I struggle not to buy it.

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

I really try to follow the... if it's not going to hit my store and sell within 90 days, it's not a buy for me. But that's my risk tolerance.

[@scottfiscus1431]

@ I like that rule. Thanks. I am getting a pile of cards not listed

[@skipthebase]

Ty-can you answer this question about vintage grading at what is it safe to say that you should grade all of the big names regardless of condition for example if I’ve got a stack of Willie Mays and Hank Aaron cards. Wouldn’t I want to get those graded regardless of condition?Because a SGC one is better than a raw Willie Mays? Or is it still condition based where you should only grade the higher conditioned ones?

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

If you are reselling, I’d always default to grading top HOF’ers. Not just because it makes it easier to sell, but because it prevents you from returns and negative feedback on condition.

[@skipthebase]

@ Solid! I appreciate the advice.

[@damonjohnson466]

I bought 25,000 cards and just started the grading process! This week I will have 44 cards graded! One and lost! I am sending out 25 more! I believe spending a couple of months getting graded cards and not selling anything! Build graded cards inventory 1st before selling

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

Love it!

[@rippingandflippingcards4135]

Oddly enough, I don't disagree with one thing. Normally expect one or two on the interwebs. Nicely done.

[@DEE-o4v]

May just be the best damn vid you've ever done! Glad you focused on TAXES. Folks, I am a dealer in collectibles (sorry...no sports stuff....and if any.....very, very little...ie. if I EVER have any, I got some sport stuff by accident) and I CANNOT express enough that you should take TAXES as serious ....as a heart attack. YOu don't want Uncle Sam coming after you. It's easier to deal with The MOB, then the IRS.

[@ThorsTradingCards-dk5oz]

I’m curious what you think about taking time to scan and list common type cards. I’m more inclined to just sell anything I don’t specifically want in bulk for cheap.

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

I'd say follow your gut on that one. My personal preference is to NOT deal with anything less than $5. The margins shrink, it's a bulk game, and frankly the buyers of that inventory are much harder to please. Bulk is definitely a better option there... but again, personal preference on this one. I know a lot of great sellers who make a solid bankroll just selling sub $5 cards. I'd lose my mind. ;-)

[@williamdunlapwaxnews]

Should just send to comc if your selling that stuff.

[@ThorsTradingCards-dk5oz]

@ I’m in a similar boat. I think I’ll start by listing in bulk and see how it goes.

[@HensleyAdventures]

Dead inventory is spot on! I am currently moving it all. Its a grind

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

What is your strategy?

[@HensleyAdventures]

@@CHASINGTYWILSON I use Kronocard AI software to build my listings on eBay and then make singles or lot listings. Just started back up hard again. Listing everyday is key.

[@TheCardDeal]

#23 - More clicks without or with a shocked, sad, or "O" face? 😂

[@CHASINGTYWILSON]

100% the sad face. ;-)

[@ThorsTradingCards-dk5oz]

I almost watched the video but I don’t like the number 22. 21 or 23 then you had me and I would have even commented to help the algo

I think you still commented. ;-)
