I've got some cards that I would like to sell. Ironically, a couple that I have were mentioned in this video. I have a Kobe Bryant rookie, Lucky 13. I have the complete lucky 13 set still in a package. I also have the Larry Bird, Dr J, and Magic rookie. I'm not sure if it's worth much because the cards have been separated, but are crisp besides being separated. I have many more cards from these eras and much older. If you are interested, please contact me. Thanks.

[@Chewy_GarageBandDad]

@@wadesworld3861 How has that gone for you? LOL

[@miketyson8933]

You know you made it pretty big when you're getting videos sponsored by Ebay!!! Dude you're channel and brand is blowing up, ai know this was a year ago! You just have that really friendly voice and the way you talk to people with professionalism, and with great knowledge really makes people want to give you deals, heck I've seen in your videos where guys are giving you nice cards to have because you're a Gator fan! Especially the way you deal with the kiddos! My youngest son is 8 and I want to get him into collecting cards. I'm just getting back into it, all my older Jordans and cards I had bought when I was younger even a Stan Musual I have it just doesn't have the great shape as what I see other cards worth. A couple of my Michael Jordan cards and Shaq rookie cards I would figure would be worth a LOT of money but they aren't worth hardly anything because they are not in mint condition none of my cards are graded and if I were to get them graded they are very picky on the grades they wpuld be like a PSA 6 and its just not worth it. Best thing I can do is just pass them down to my son and he can pass them to his kids. But I have bought a box of the new 2021-2022 Basketball Prizms and I got a few nice cards just not the players, like my auto was a Josh Howard and his signature is HORRIBLE! The guy doesn't play in the NBA anymore least he can do is make his signature better then a g00fy cursive JH lol Anyway I did get a Scottie Barnes & Cade Cunningham Emergent Prizm Silver which are beautiful cards, a 75 year blue diamond Paul Millsaps LOL and a 75 year Optic they inserted and it's of the legend Jerry West, also a USA of Charles Barkley that's horizontal and dominant Lebron James. I just regret taking all this time off of card collecting buying a box or 2 during Lebron rookie years things like that make me feel like I have really missed out. I am invested in the stock market and with about all my life savings and some, my house is too big so its going to be sold here soon so I plan on getting some big stuff, like some of those brief cases

[@gorillahawkpeacock4688]

Can’t help but think that an eBay sponsorship and a wildly successful card focused KZbin channel is the best way to make money collecting cards.

[@robertwooley87]

Love how he casually says I got this for less than 15 thousand dollars...

[@dareal_cart3r824]

Yea ik

[@alfiey5783]

I got this for less than $1.5 bucks hehe

[@d2cardboardnovice169]

He is a little out of touch hahah

[@evoeyerex3518]

Right?Lol . I bet he wipes his ass with hundreds lol

[@ohnoourtableitsbroken300]

I’m pretty sure he’s almsot rich

[@TheComebackCardInvestor]

Just the tutorial on eBay's advanced search was well worth the watch.

[@evangturner]

Whats up Geoff, I've been breaking boxes and selling on ebay since '09 Cant believe the value has shot up this high I would've never thought it would only take 11 years to 5x their value. Ur channel is awesome man keep promoting the industry.

[@johnshoemaker234]

I know it's ONLY been 2 years since ya made this comment, But I agree 100% I can't believe that 2009 Hobby Basketball boxes because of Curry an a couple others, and 2009 Baseball are this expensive just because of Mike Trout!! Absolutely Mind Bending stuff!! I truly wish I accidentally stored some of those Trouts I pulled or a few of the Hobby Boxes until now 🤣💪

[@anthonyculotta6424]

Great video and tips. Flipping cards on eBay is tough though. You gotta overcome like 20% taxes and fees just to break even. How consistently can you do this?

[@hhenry76]

Sport card investors data is like the modern beckett real time price guide. Beckett price guide is too slow😁. True👍

[@blessembreaks]

Except at 1000 X the price 🤮

[@jonathanbanks4427]

I remember buying beckett mags to look up card prices it use to be the only way to look up any pricing but agree

[@brucethecardcollector]

I will make this real simple buy tom brady now on ebay and sell during the football season and during the brady documentary. Ok now I am certified genius thank you everyone

[@sunryzen6025]

Many years ago I pulled a Tom Brady gold parallel rookie straight from a $10 pack. Shoved it into my binder full of cards and forgot about it for years. Found it again just 2 years ago and my heart sunk at the condition it is in. Still a nice card, but wouldn't grade more than an 8 today and might get me $100-$200. Who knows if I had sleeved it up and taken care of it properly right when I pulled it.

[@markspeltz2074]

Great tips! Another thing I do is just WATCH items that I am considering buying. Probably 50-60% of the time, the seller will shoot me a discounted offer.

[@mickey-eq5vw]

thats what i do I watch about 20 cards and wait for an offer and get a good one 90% of the time

[@paulf3232]

One thing I do is keep an eye out for graded cards - not listed as graded. It doesn't happen often but I've picked up a few nice cards - based on searching Ebay by newly listed and have come across some exceptional deals with cards like the below - 2010 Bowman Mike Trout #PP5 Baseball Card - which was actually a PSA 9

[@jonahprpich]

Video starts at 8:52 Thank me later

[@mikestermoney]

Thank you my King!

[@nylontusk1289]

🤣🤣🤣 thanks man; not only for the info but for the laugh too. I knew there was something to reading comments before the video really gets started.

[@MIaco-qm1bx]

Great Advice Geoff, appreciate the tips, very helpful. Going to my 1st show in 15+ years next week, have been slowly getting back into the hobby, your channel and app has been a big help.

[@teamsycon]

Thanks for the great advice, and breaking down some of the tips for eBay searching.

[@eze2121]

Wow! Just wow! Amazing content. Love your channel because I recently got back into the hobby and there is a lot to learn. Keep it up!

[@Kafgar]

Can't stop watching this channel, insane. Geoff is just so nice, so glad i found this channel, hi from Canada :)

[@TarheelDiggin]

Tremendous value in this video - great job, Geoff!

[@Littlememoryfarm]

Thanks Geoff. Great video. I'm getting back into cards after being out of it for a long time. These tips are awesome. Such a big help. Thank you.

[@MikeMc84]

Congrats Geoff..!!! 🥳👏👏 This was straight 🔥🔥🔥

[@Southpaw_canvass]

LOVE the app and channel!! My favorite sports card app. Has so many amazing options i.e. particularly the growth chart

[@SmithOrgonite]

My favorite video you've ever done. Your the goat of the hobby. I appreciate you my friend.

[@jasonward3295]

Excellent video, I have really enjoyed the App as we have transitioned from collecting to investing, especially with the retail environment pretty much non-existent. Not sure you can really be a casual collector anymore, even my 11 yr old is learning to trade up into better graded cards. The challenge has now become finding that great deal on singles / boxes, not hoping to run into vendors.

[@berganmay]

I'm watching this again for sure... Great stuff Absolute 🔥

[@garydower7870]

Thank you for just being you. Really good role model for people of all ages. Willingness to share valuable information. For teaching! I could go on......

[@alexlurye1815]

Those greatest hits are pretty epic

[@yan2987]

This video was very helpful as usual. Loved it

[@CW-oy2bn]

Love the new features you guys rock!

[@joefran619]

Bought psa graded vintage cards 17 or so years ago. Now the price of these cards have grown in value.

[@thedollarbox]

great idea on looking for deals on redemption cards, I never thought about that!

[@gabrielkawa432]

Thanks for making this video. I learned quite a lot of tips from this especially the advanced searches, keywords, and tactics.

[@johnnysusmc]

Very in depth and worth your time to watch

[@TrailBlazer5280]

Hey man great advice love your videos! This stuff can be used buying and selling anything it’s great. Just a straight forward eBay class no fluff or hot takes or pushing opinions.

[@klyoko1118]

I have watched this video more than once. Thank you for making it Sports Card Investor!

[@Prokotaco]

Lots of information in this video, thank you Geoff, and eBay!

[@thedollarbox]

I am a BIG FAN of the app, such a nice quick snapshot of cards and players that are on the rise or retreat

[@boykinlp]

Thanks for this instructional video. It is very helpful.

[@ritchcraft1]

best episode yet.... thanks for the awesome content as always

[@joeg9810]

Great tips. I used eBay a bunch years ago to purchase sports cards but now they have a bunch more tools. Thanks for your assist as always!

[@troys_collectibles9811]

Great video - great ebay advice. Thanks for sharing.

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

Great search tips . Thank you .

[@grahamcochran5400]

Checked out the app, and I like the concept. Biggest thing I've noticed is lots of the graphs are super old and recent sales seem a bit behind, but I get this could take time as it's a lot to scan through. I favorites my two Lukas I have for my PC, and I trust y'all to keep making this better.

[@HavenRadioWaves]

this is a great way to keep the market fair !

[@ZeeFighter28]

Very good tips. This will help me grow as an investor and seller as well as a buyer

[@JimKrautkremer]

This is a really good video. Learned a ton of tips to buy more effectively on eBay. Thanks!!

[@TyronneRatcliff]

Solid content Geoff. Appreciate ya.

[@AstenRegis]

Great video, love these tips! Thank you much appreciated!

[@robertulloa9570]

Great info! You're the best out there! I downloaded your app :-) Thanks!

[@Jtevkicksandcards]

I love scrolling through ebay for cards

[@RandomSportsInfo]

I absolutely love this channel

[@kirkadams231]

I like to add a card to my watchlist and I find that sellers will often offer me a deal below their asking price.

[@starz1779]

That’s what I do !!

[@JUDDLILIHA]

Love the app guys... thank you!

[@travisgreene3509]

Great video and advice. Is there a way to look at more historical data? I feel as though the 30 day window only gives you a small piece of the puzzle. It would be easier to spot and predict trends looking at a larger window.

[@Iamjimbob]

Great job on the video and the advice!

[@MrBostonross]

Thanks for the advice

[@g82yr10]

Hey Geoff great work as always thank you..question for ya..any value to those 1996 Florida Gator coca colas..I have a six pack of them lol

[@LOOGEYBAYAREA]

i have a big collection of barry bonds cards this page is key for what i need!!!

[@stevespeaks4091]

Great advice, thanks !

[@brianmcguire5906]

Most informative video … thank you

[@thedollarbox]

The Dollar Box has posted similar videos highlighting tips and tricks to find sports cards at a discount! Good work!

[@belcastrohomes]

Great informative content. I am new to the card collecting/investing world and channels like yours are very helpful. Do you know how to go about leveraging a loan against your investment portfolio?

[@ronnieconway5125]

Thanks for the tips

[@cbcarmack128]

Vince Carter is a perfect example of taking a chance on investing in a player but kind of didn't linveup to the hype. I opened a 1999 upper deck autograph card of his and I saw it go from $175 one month in Beckett price guide to $300 the next month and I held it since then and still have it. Lol! I am crossing my fingers tho for his HOF announcement. Lol!

[@bryancook3564]

Another great video thanks!

[@endangeredentertainment8584]

Thanks for the valuable insight. Do you recommend any bundle PSA grading packages? I have several vintage cards that I would like to send in. Any info is welcomed. Thank you

[@tko_sportscards9889]

Very insightful!

[@robotcameron8374]

Thank You, Geoff,🙌🏻💪🙂

[@btbam111]

Great video and insight. It's obvious you spend a lot of time planning and organizing these, they're great. The title somewhat seemed as if it catered towards low- to mid-level experienced traders. I clicked in the hopes of gaining some new strategies (which I did). I would have included some sort of "intro" in the title or breaking up the playback time bar with a video of this length to jump around to different sections you speak about. Again, great video. Will continue to watch them all.

[@federicothompson2299]

Great stuff Geoff

[@rockcity3840]

Great presentation. 🎉

[@RockfromPhilly]

Loved the video just getting back into collecting after almost 20 years and everything is so different!! Who are some good players to start looking for their cards/ slabs as brand new investor/collector?

[@raidergainzx5290]

Same here

[@henrysmith5472]

i learned a lot. thanks

[@theonecardhunter7334]

Gracias por sus consejos muy bien 👍

[@tdsportscards]

Great instructional vid

[@endtimesnowwithjohnnybargo3028]

Very informative!

[@RAG718]

wow. good vid. class in session.

[@ericallen6553]

This was great thank you!

[@HectorLopez-dl2hi]

Amazing advice

[@sendy5220]

The way he says (parentheses) cracks me up

[@aidanleesoccer3623]

Fantastic App ! Using it for soccer and works great.

[@aanddgames9620]

I just wanted to say You are awesome !🏀🏈⚽️

[@bowmanbrent419]

My two biggest buying busts are Darian Cruz (retired after his 2nd Bowman Chrome card came out in '19) and Sam Hilliard ( who is still in the bigs but plays for the Rockies and had a terrible year.

[@lylepelusojr232]

Great show

[@davidlampley7714]

Good job.

[@jedediah601]

Geoff, I absolutely love your videos you do a great job. I’m new to this as for I was in the military for a lot of years as a sniper but once I got home I dug my card collection out and found that I have some valuable cards after 30 years imagine but anyway I’m trying to figure out the best way to scan my 120 thousand sports cards or however many I have I’m looking at the Fujitsu 7160 I was wondering if you suggest that one or a certain one I saw your video on the eBay easy list video but I need a picture of the card first and it’s getting pretty tiresome with my iPhone lol so any information or help would be much appreciated

[@ryanra44]

Sometimes at non peak times I will do a search like “2020 Bowman Chrome PSA or SGC” and ending soonest. You would be surprised how many cards I win way below market value. Also do this search by player.

[@RogueDemagogue]

(The cardboard connection) is another great free site that tracks current auctions of a specific player.

[@business1249]

Geoff....I thought this was a great and helpful video! Thank you ! More videos like this please

[@GoCards1983]

YOU GOT SOME GREAT EBAY DEALS REALLY.

[@stevenwashington917]

Lamelo Ball Prizm Draft Pick Crusade Rookies are on fire!!! Every time I see a listing on Ebay that I like someone scoops it up before I can even hit the Buy it Now Button. I think something big is about to go down...

[@andreselprophet8354]

When are you making another video on Dibbs? Literally on the app 24/7

[@SportsCardsUK]

Useful video! 👍

[@montana01]

Watch out on that steve nash psa 9 finest... looks way off center. As Geoff mentions, be sure to look at the pics of the card.

[@HMFamilyLife]

It looks like you forgot to tell us how to figure out which cards to go after in the first place?

[@stillse2130]

Bought a Tom Brady playoff contender rookie auto beckett graded 8.5, 10 auto for 2300 on Ebay. The value came down from 2700 because of deflategate, 4 superbowls later its an epic buy for me.

[@edzukation]

I have noticed a trend of sellers listing a buy now option but not accepting offers (even offers within a dollar of their asking price). They are just putting best offer in the settings bc peeps are doing queries of sellers who are accepting BOs

[@havefun1796]

If you could put a few boxes together and talk about some of the pulls that are available to pull. Some of the high priced cards that could be pulled. Talk about how to tell the difference between variations i think it would be a video. I would watch it. I been collecting for about a year now. There is alot to learn in this hobby so far.

[@NYC-SA-Mike]

My big one Geoff? I picked up a 1988 Kenner SLU Jordan PSA 10 for $187 a few years ago - it's a POP35 I believe? The last 3 have sold for 15K!!!!!!!

[@rocktheboatpaul]

My one lesson for you guys is don't drink and shop at the same time. Drunk E-Bay shopping is not recommended.

[@pleasuretokill]

How dare you tell the truth about my favorite activity!

[@gregorycrossman9833]

LMAO... I've been a victim of that situation myself....FUUUUUCK....Ah...well, it turned myself right....l o l

[@instareferral]

amen

[@davedave2882]

I don't know I just had a drunk eBay winning bid on a Peyton Manning SP authentic 1 of 2000 that was a 8.5 I won it for 2k. I've been wanting that card for years but never wanted the fork out the cash. But I was happy after the purchase even the next morning no regrets.😁

[@stuarts765]

I love when you search for "sealed factory sets" and the pictures have all the sets opened!

[@freedomfight1933]

It's strange to me how much higher 10s sell compared to 9s, it feels like the rating companies have dominated the consumers in this industry. It's better for them if there's such a high premium on the rating, it gives them more power and control of the market. It feels way out of wack. Obviously it's a scarcity thing, but 10x or more in many cases because someone at the rating company on a judgment call thinks the surface looks or color looks better for instance is a bit crazy. However they've managed to push the market this way bravo to those large corporations for figuring that out I guess. But I don't think it's the best for consumers. I'm curious to what people think of that. I'm just looking into the card market again after being out since I was a kid. My normal full-time job is as an investor in another industry. This video delivers great value and this guy seems like the smartest person I've seen on KZbin talking about this stuff. Thank you!

[@williammal2166]

because its in better condition, condition is everything

[@miketyson8933]

Im sure most guys know how to get the deals and what not, I consider myself a very savy Ebay buyer, but I did get a few little tips here. I know right now is a great time to buy cards, the market is VERY LOW, and people need money for other plays and things they want to do during times like these.
