I’m just gonna comment this even though no one is gonna probably read it. To be clear RIPPING WAX IS NOT A GOOD INVESTMENT. I got extremely lucky, and don’t recommend it to anyone as a real way to make money (which I’ve made clear in pretty much any video I’ve ever made on the matter)

[@fjfucjdi093jfe]

Did you buy the select box yourself or was it included with the PSA promo?

[@brockman562]

I've ripped so much wax/blasters this year. not one card over $10. I'm gonna start ripping way less now.

[@Zach434-]

I just watched one of your videos from two years ago where you said you didn't think this was a viable full time job, now it's your full time job! Nice

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thanks! If I remember correctly that was the low-end flipping video. I still think it'd be mighty hard to full time flip cards exclusively out of dollar boxes. But with content and some more expensive flips I've been lucky enough to make it work!

[@Shahhh]

the upside down J Love auto🤦‍♂️

[@JeseeWalker]

I had to double take, then facepalm LOL

[@MrAndyhdz]

How is that a10 with an upside down auto?

[@Darbobski]

As a collector who enjoys opening cards, I tend to lose money and take the enjoyment as payoff. An occasional endorphin hit is nice too, but the overall money spent VS money earned is typically in the red. However, the targeted collector side of my has consistently made money. It also helps that I started collecting (again anyway) at the right time in 2017. I have a lot of Judge, Ohtani, and Soto that anchor the value of my collection. I've also made good money by buying raw cards that look good on the screen and then taking advantage of grading specials from PSA or SGC. Vintage has been especially good for this. It goes beyond hobby and becomes work, but it's not bad work once you get good at it. With the hobby appearing to still be expanding, it is still worth venturing into.

[@Foxa2312]

Duuude! Yes, you're back. Hopefully you got some footage from the Soccer trade nights too.

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Yep! Got some fun clips from Soco forsure

[@Couper_J]

Was I the only one that saw the auto upside down?

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

shhhh

[@SeaTacky]

I like to rip wax, but it's not the best way to make money, although it is super fun when you do!!

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

100% agree, I actually even recorded a 1 minute voiceover explaining how bad ripping wax is but it was too long to leave in

[@SamRothstein]

Great video dude! I was the previous owner of that Jordan refractor!

[@aravindgopinath767]

One of my favorite card KZbinrs. Please post more bangers 🙏🏾🔥

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

5 more videos already finished, stay tuned

[@MichiganMaizeNBlue]

I have never sent in cards for grading. A tip on how to/what to look when deciding what time send in would be incredible (assuming you don’t have one in your uploads lol).

[@davidmillschills]

seems that was your lucky day! Congrats

[@Top-Gun757]

You’re back! From a month hiatus let’s go!!

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

We are finally back, but back in a big way

[@i2Shea]

That Select box was absurd! Well done!

[@wwemark7017]

You’re a cool dude, one of the reasons I started my own card channel!

[@Entrysz]

Favorite card KZbinr is back! Glad to see it. Now just want to see how long before someone copies this video too lol…

[@mattscardshop]

unreal editing!!

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thanks brother! Thought this one turned out great

[@anonanon7235]

As far as I'm concerned, the only way to make money on cards is to buy low, and sell higher. Chris Sewell has a proven strategy. The hardest part is being able to appraise/price/negotiate bulk lots.

[@jalenLaMarca233]

awesome vid showing the different methods. buying raw and grading is a slower method but has some good returns overall

[@brushben22]

Did you include the fact that that 2020 select box was scanned? Either way great stuff :)

[@Saad-]

you never fail to deliver.

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Appreciate that a lot, hope this one was worth the wait

[@kaza_family5950]

I really enjoy the vids brother. Love the budget videos especially

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thank you so much! I'll do more of those soon

[@jonnyb798]

Troy doesn’t miss on his vids

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

My guyyy

[@livelycardcollector]

dude you remind me of the ironchefdads son lol not sure if you’ve ever seen any of their stuff on youtube. your voice even sounds like his.

[@denny_cards]

Production value so good here 👏

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Really glad you noticed that, uploads taking longer now because I'm trying to make each video high quality

[@denny_cards]

@@TRIKE415SportsCards I love learning from really skilled creators such as yourself. Keep up the great work! ✊

[@LetsStormTheTeaCupRide]

Hey Trike, how long before T-Pott/Market Movers make the exact same video idea with the same thumbail? 😂

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Haha I talked to T-Pott and we are all good now. But yes that thumbnail carbon copy was pretty crazy

[@user-qw3iw5fw8c]

I just noticed but why is the Jordan love auto upside down. That’s actually pretty cool

[@StifflerPodcasts5]

That Jordan Love card is amazing! Congrats

[@liamthomas1499]

I LOVE THAT HAT

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Thank you! One of my favorites

[@wassabisabi9871]

Great video congrats on the grade my guy 🎉🎉🎉

[@iblion2227]

Crazy select box a Mahomes /5 and a love rpa /10 is insanely rare

[@Romanshorn84]

I run a biz. I crack magic the gathering boxes then sell singles. I can do it profitablity. 100k+ sales a yr. I've tried to transition to sports cards. I've had no luck. I don't think it's profitable at all UNLESS you can buy single cards at 50%-60% of market value or sealed product at 70%. The other way is to buy sealed and hold it for 3+ years then sell. Rinse and repeat.

[@ZINGZER]

Congrats on that Jordan Love! That's crazy!

[@QTrainSports]

Congrats on the big pull!! 🎉

[@thesparkplug5783]

Been a subscriber since 2020!

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Wow a real OG. That means the world for real so thank you

[@krisshreds]

Great video!! Was that same day grading?? How much was it?

[@user-bw1om8ep2h]

I miss the soccer exclusive days :(

[@Random-wd8je]

I love all your videos but I wish you would upload more/stay consistent. Keep up the great work

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

It's taking longer to put out videos because of the production time/quality behind each one. But don't worry, got 5 videos already finished and ready to go. Lot more uploads coming

[@tchinn79]

I went to a local card show and was rummaging through the $0.25 bin and found a Clyde Drexler Team USA card from Skybox. Gonna send that in for a PSA and hope for at least a 9.

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Congrats that’s awesome!

[@SakDrop]

Man u hit that love

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

great hit there .

[@PickSixCards]

What up T415

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

What up what up

[@RossVioli-c4p]

When will you be going live on Whatnot again

[@gwopdigital]

Nice

[@hello-jg8rv]

Way to go

[@canebuller3174]

Is the Jordan love auto upside down?

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

shhhhh

[@PullinMyOwn]

All that for $20? No thanks.

[@nikeball7]

J love omg

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

Hugggeeee

[@MultiBrodeur]

What a waste of time. Gambled $270 to make $20?? No thanks

[@FatherVinyard88]

Troy...say it ain't so...PSA provides you with a nice 'hotbox' to rip in their exclusive VIP lounge...you happen to pull that gold J Love auto...give it to PSA to grade onsite and it comes back a 10...big surprise there!...and then you put it in PSA's vaulting service...I get it, a low key sponsored video for PSA but man, you've always been one of the independent good guys, not one of those d-bag sports card influencers, hope you're not selling out man, that would be a real shame.

[@TRIKE415SportsCards]

I'll always speak my mind and do what I want to do, authenticity is clear anywhere on this channel. But taking sponsors is the only way I can afford to produce these videos, if taking sponsors is selling out. Then I guess I'm a sell out

[@SamRothstein]

Great video dude! I was the previous owner of that Jordan refractor!
