Ty, you will definitely need to do a "Year from now" look back video on this and how this deal pans out over the long hall. Every year it seems like you are lucky to get one, maybe two prospects that break out like the Ohtani's, Witt's and Trout's out there. And then there are the couple that make it through for the 10+ year career and put up good numbers over time, but never really breakout in the collectible market. Sometimes "the juice just isn't worth the squeeze"...

[@ChrisGonzalez-v8k]

Yes but what people don’t get for a card to 10x all a player has to do is get the call doesn’t have to be a star etc would go way higher if they do people don’t really understand this yes it’s a gamble but I make a living buying and selling bowman their is a huge market for it

[@blueodum]

@@ChrisGonzalez-v8k Prospects are a hype driven market - it is like trading penny stocks. You have to cash out a big portion of a player at the right time to make it work. Reading top prospect lists is not hard - timing the market on the cash out is the hardest part. People lose big when they convince themselves to hold too long, or buy at the top of the hype. The second most important thing is to put in the work to identify the key prospects when the prices are still low: if people on ESPN are talking about them, it is probably too late.

[@ChrisGonzalez-v8k]

@@blueodum bowman is what I do I hold some cards and wait for the right time to sell and others I just buy cheap enough where I can put them on our stream and make money like any other sports card just gotta buy cheap enough and look for the right names eBay auctions are not comp drivin so just gotta grind them

This was the perfect episode for me as I have spent the last several months beginning baseball prospecting. Ive been into football and basketball for many years, but just never gotten much into baseball. So I loved hearing Tyson's reasoning and explainations. Many players are the same Ive been investing in- including Lawlar. This confirmed the belief that non-licensed products are not the best investments, even 1/1's. I hope you do well moving these. As always, really enjoy your content!

Every time I buy baseball prospects I regret it. Usually in a lot containing other stuff. Prospecting for baseball should never be with unlicensed products either, 1/1 or not.

Great episode! Ty does such a great job of educating people on why he’s offering what he’s offering and I think that’s really helped to build trust from the community. What’s hard for me to watch is that I see so often people will say “I can’t afford this or that” so they spend large amounts of money for massive amounts of low level cards. People don’t account for the added time and energy it’s going to take to try and sell high quantities. You’re going to get less return from that than just buying a few really expensive cards. It’s probably more fun buying tons of cards because you get the rush of a new purchase every time, but I just can’t imagine your odds of making a positive return are very high at all. Overall, still great. It’s was a super cool collection. It’d be fun to look through and it was cool how knowledgeable he was on each player. You can tell he’s got a different level of understanding of prospects than the average fan. I hope he can help his family and reboot for some new collecting 😀 Also congrats on hitting 25 years of teaching/ coaching. I did 8 years before I quit and changed careers. That’s a tough but rewarding job!

[@TamTranTriZzle]

What everyone should truly understand is that there is no such thing as a bad deal. The Seller can offer any number. The Buyer does NOT have to accept that number. If both parties are sound and sober, and not held at gunpoint, and they both agree to a price, then that deal is good. That applies to anything where 2 people agree to something. No one got shafted if both people agree.

[@bamperry4719]

It helped that he had the older graded cards with those prospects.

[@ForbiddenEngravings]

I can appreciate that he at minimum goes after SSP and 1/1s. So there will still be value there even if the prosects don't take off. I will say that for a prospecting collection like his, I'd likely only give 35% of the value. It's high risk high reward though! One of those guys could become another Jeter or Judge. And then one of those cards exceeds what is paid on the whole thing. So if you got the funds, go for it! The seller definitely got an incredibly fair offer!

[@woodconnection7899]

Paul IS the market for a lot of those guys. With him gone value will definitely tank especially if they hit the market at same time. Though sounds like you could sell some of this refractors back to him for $30 if you post right away…doesn’t seem like he really will stop

I maybe would’ve tried to justify giving him 24k just to value some cards above the $5 range but that type of collecting is SERIOUS GAMBLE and one where you have to have the money always in order to profit later from investing long term.

I think most people understand prospecting as all of us have done it at one time or another going back to the late 80’s. The difference in prospecting today is about the short-term flip and doesn’t really bring in new long-term collectors. When we prospected in the late 80’s/90’s, the thought was to hold those cards long-term so we all had a collectors mentality. Now the hobby is breeding the exact opposite people.

This is either going to be a hard lesson in prospecting or a great buy.

Vice versa I just have to mention Ohtani so having your finger on the pulse of the farm system and minors is a must if your prospecting for profit.

I am always confused when I hear someone say that selling on eBay takes so much time when they spend so much time reading stats, watching games and highlights, and searching for players to buy. I have an eBay store and fully understand the time it takes to list then wait for those sales to come in, but your going to get a better price as they are available to buyers 24/7 and some cards may need time to find just the right buyer to make a profit or break even. Ty does an excellent job trying to educate sellers on the hobby while he negotiates a win for them both.

I know that scared money doesn’t make money, but I’d have very scared money in this collection.

[@nunzi83]

This is a tricky collection to value/purchase. There’s so much potential here. Even with the leaf/panini. But buyers have to pay for what things are worth today not what they could be worth in the future. This is the perfect collection/situation for the seller to take a few cards of each player and hold. Sell the rest for a lower overall amount. They get the upfront money which is needed and have the chance to capitalize on more in the future if they players make it.

[@Johndeplume.]

One thing is for certain: the future isn't certain! I 100% sympathise with the gentleman's plight there; he has the gambler's mentality, and believes that what he's built up will largely grow in value across the board. Unfortunately, in prospecting, you're constantly playing the waiting game. That's absolutely fine, if you have the patience and/or funds to wait. If you need the funds NOW, then you're shifting that gambling burden on to the next person when you go to sell. Ty, I think your concerns are 100% valid. Personally, I thought you made a strong offer, given the risks. I would've ran from the deal. I'm sure you'll make money from it - but if you do, it'll be because of the contacts that you've built up, rather than what the market itself will necessarily pay. On a side-note... who better for you to talk to about money than 'Tyson BANKER'!? 😀 And, finally, I'd have as much interest in purchasing the 'Brailer Guerrero' card, as he has of signing it. Shocking autograph - and the lad is 18!? Another great episode! Thank you Ty, and CC team. 💯

Not to sound mean but a lot of the Dominican players barely know how to read let alone sign their own name. They grow up poor and are usually working and found by MLB developmental tryouts.

This seller is a pretty bright guy. I also like unlicensed products, certain ones. Notice he goes after the low number Leaf products. Those are rare, you just usually need to put them away and wait while Topps overprints everything to the max. He pays attention to the low entry point, which is the key to prospecting (and choosing the right players, of course). So for the person with a certain strategy, if the seller has the right players, he stands to potentially make really good money longer term. This stuff is so nuanced that this simple statement can’t do it justice…Great program, guys!

[@chrisolivo6591]

I would respectfully disagree. He is selling his whole collection yet he has a card on the way he bought on eBay? (as shown in the video). That was very strange as even Ty said he had a problem (in a joking but serious way).

[@Showcardsusa]

@@chrisolivo6591 what do you disagree with? Topps is overprinting almost everything. The guy is pretty smart trying to dump those prospects . He has the right idea for approaching prospecting, but the wrong players. And the prospecting game is very nuanced, as such cannot be fleshed out in a single paragraph.

[@chrisolivo6591]

The guy admitted he spent over $50,000 on these cards and is selling them for $22,000. This is textbook example of how prospecting on this scale is a bad idea. He finally realized it would be a full time job to sell these cards. His wife probably told him to take what he could get before 90% of them are worthless in 5 years. Listen, i think prospecting is fun if you pick a few players. This guy is everything wrong with the hobby as he was in over his head. Heck he was selling his collection and still buying cards! (As Ty showed that the one eBay sale was from a few days earlier). This is not good for the hobby long-term as it breeds gamblers like these guys and not long-term collectors. This guy is in and out of the hobby in a few years and has no PC and a $25,000+ loss.
