Great video! Here’s a bonus tip. . .don’t bother printing your label on a label maker, print it directly on the envelope. Most printers have an “envelope” setting so you can just print direct to the envelope.

[@Ceo.hustle]

Genius

[@xdabeast6002]

This comment just saved me money... You're awesome!

[@logan42399]

Never thought of it like that. I just printed the label and taped it onto the envelope. Not super professional but it does work

[@keithdefreitas3399]

I agree with everything you said except about the amount of money you can make. If you put in the time an effort you can absolutely make as much as a full time job. Now obviously everyone’s opinion of the amount of money you make with a full time job will be different. For example I’m sure a lot your subscribers are making $400-$600 a week and that’s 40 hours a week. You can most certainly make that especially if they use the exact steps that you showed with the scanner, the listing the card from someone else’s listing and investing in a label printer which all save a huge amount of time. Great Video! 🤙

[@bobbymonaghan6769]

Well said. I making a living off grading cards and flipping them. I live in California so it ain’t cheap living.

[@lococardcollector7901]

I believe this is the best way to get started in the hobby and understand how everything works without risking too much capital. Great video!

[@TRIKESportsCards]

Definitely a good way to start out! Thanks for watching

[@deaconweekley3893]

@@TRIKESportsCardshey I know it’s been 2 years. But I still can’t figure this out- the only way my cards get attention is if I promote them, which when I’m selling 100$+ cards, takes around 20% off. It’s just never worth it for me. Any way to fix this?

[@tonyhamilton9764]

Hey, just another tip on the ebay envelope, is that it includes tracking so instead of getting refund requests for low dollar cards that don't arrive, as long as you ship it, it goes on the post office if they lose it.

[@bigboomboxbreaks9081]

Great video Troy! Recently I have been going to my local card shop and going through the $1, $5, and $10 boxes and I have flipped them for so much more than how much I got them for. I definitely recommend trying this for new collectors and even people that have been collecting for a very long time. I got a 2019 Topps Chrome Sapphire Kyle Tucker for $5 and sold for $100!!

[@jfcortes1028]

Any tips on what cards to look out for ? Just started

[@kylerbui7973]

Where do u sell it?

[@K-xb2qz]

Yep. I do this as well at my local card shop. They have so many cards that they basically just wholesale them. I found a bunch of 1988 coca cola Micheal Jordan for $1. I bought about 15 of them. I seen those sell $10 and more. I have invested in a lot of $1, $5, even $10 and they're selling for more than triple the price. The best way to sell is do it in bulks. Make sure it's players people recognize. Do like a 10 or 15 card lot for $30. I bought about $600 worth of Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey mantle, Bob clemente.etc for $30 and another $800 worth of cards for $50. Each . All together I had about 130 cards. Lot of cards were worth $30-$40 bucks each. Some were going for $200-$300. I thought they were fake because "who's gon sell these Hall of famers from the 50s and 60s for less than $100 but sometimes you find guys who just sell them really cheap

[@bigboomboxbreaks9081]

@@K-xb2qz Awesome!

[@Whasup8822]

Yes great idea that’s what most of my inventory is in my gerting everything set up and gonna start listing cards in a few days

[@perryengland1574]

One thing to add to this is, you must list a few things at least everyday. I have noticed when I do list I get more traffic and sells. When I go a few days or a week even my sells drop off! Very good video, I think investing in a feed type document scanner may increase your efficiency as well!

[@WebbHumanPerformance]

Every other weekend I go to card shows and pick up a bunch of stuff from quarter, 50 cent, dollar boxes etc and list them on eBay in bulk. Nobody is going to get rich but I get an extra $50-100 a month to spend on food or something for not really doing too much

[@TRIKESportsCards]

Hey guys! Hope you enjoy the video. Once again just want to emphasize, this is not a "get rich quick" or "easy money" method. There's risk and even with the tips this will take up a good amount of time, but I do think if you're willing to put in the work you can have some success.

[@CANTON2COOPERSTOWN]

Do you have more info on the scanner you use? The link no longer works.

[@TRIKESportsCards]

@@CANTON2COOPERSTOWN added to description!

[@markthompson7503]

Penny sleeve the card, card saver (sometimes top loaded cards USPS kicks back), put in team bag, put in a Thank You card where you can buy 10 for $1.25 at the Dollar Tree.

[@Krysdavar]

Keep forgetting about putting in a card. Another good/cheap way to get cards is at 'after Christmas sale', when big boxes of x-mas cards are sold for dirt cheap like 75% off.

[@shanebeckim5444]

A couple of quick questions. 1 - How do you prevent getting a glare with the scanner? 2- How do you fit that big label on a standard envelope?

[@GelatosLottos]

love the instructional video!! only qualm I have is the way you're showing people how to ship. Using a top loader in an envelop is the WORST way to send a card. First off, the post office sends them thru a machine, ive seen too many instances where the card was eaten up and permanantly bent because of that. bubble mailers with proper protection is the way to go. If you HAVE to cut those shipping costs, use CARD SAVERS not TOP LOADERS....either way your spending money, but card savers dont have rigid siding, so they go thru the machines better.

[@simplybass70]

Been selling Disney cards Disney with coin cards ,movie poster cards .Lots of cards from the 1990s . Fantasy cards it's a great hobby.

[@WCPFISH]

Like your realistic and truthful take on this!

[@DeuceTreyz]

One thing I also do is finding a Template for the description of the ebay ad, it makes it a lot cleaner and professional looking.

[@McCarden-Collections]

Very informative I’ve had my eBay card shop going for 2 months now and only sold 20 cards in that time period hopefully I can sell enough for the scanner 🤞🏻

[@J.H.HOLLIDAY]

QUESTION ----->. if you are just sending them out in a standard envelope...... how to you deal with "SHADY BUYERS". that claim I DIDNT RECEIVE MY ITEM?

[@pokechee5etv124]

Great video. We’ve collected Pokémon cards for a few years and just moving in to Sports cards. We have a lot of lower end cards just say there that aren’t wanted. Just struggle to find the time to get round to starting to list them. We deffo need to just bite the bullet and start.

[@ResellerNiche]

I'm really impressed with this video and your videos in general. Thanks so much for making things easy to understand. As a newer card seller this is exactly the kind of info I needed. Cheers.

[@ffbuddyguy8159]

How new are you to card selling and how is it going ? I'm looking to move my side hustle to this niche but curious about the process

[@ResellerNiche]

@@ffbuddyguy8159 I think you were talking to me, so if you weren't sorry I just thought I'd answer. I'm very new to card selling. Got in this June after I saw a lot of people trying to sell and I LOVE a down market. Only problem was that I haven't really looked at cards since 1992. lol. It's going ok, I got burned a few times buying junk wax, which is what I had in my garage anyway, so I just have more of it now. I would say this channel was really good because it didn't talk only about million dollar cards, it covered the basics. I probably list about 50-100 cards a day and it's super fast. I know some people buy scanners to speed up the process, I'm not buying enough to make that make sense. My goal is to only buy cards with card profits. I didn't start like that, I probably put in a $1000 because like I said I only had junk wax. The cliche is true though, go with what you enjoy. I'll stop here because I can go on forever. To answers your question though, it's going well, I'm basically breaking even right now but growing slowly. 1. Pick your card niche. 2. Buy a thermal printer as soon as you can as it will save on ink and printer paper in the long run. 3. Pick your place to sell, I like eBay, but there are many places. 4. Set a budget for buying. 5. Do some research. Compare eBay prices to wherever else you may be buying from, this will give you an idea of how cheaply you can buy for. I sell more than just cards, the money is usually made when you buy. 6. Visit a card shop/card show (I'm still yet to go to a show myself!!!) Use the research you did earlier on eBay to see what they sell things for. 7. Enjoy yourself and take everything you see and hear with a grain of salt. Everything I do seems to adjust daily because I'm so new, so I'm sure others will have more knowledge than I do, so make some contacts and talk to people. Good luck and have fun!

[@ffbuddyguy8159]

@@ResellerNiche I was asking you ! :) Thanks this is exactly what I wanted see. I'm in about the same boat as I stopped collecting around the same time and I'm out of the loop.

[@dljtwo]

Excellent video, thank you for sharing. I can appreciate you taking the time to scan your cards properly and have them generate additional income for you. I can't wrap my head around some of the crap pictures people post on eBay of their product and the prices that they're asking for something so poorly represented. So many eBay sellers are just lazy and don't want to put forth the effort to be or look professional.

[@justingutube]

I buy and sell this stuff all the time, fun hobby, make a few bucks, build a collection. Capitalism, business, and fun all at the same time. Good luck buyers and sellers, keep the market alive!!!

[@KingdomCollections]

Halfway through the video and I want to say that this is a fantastic video. Lots of great advice and I never would have thought of using a scanner!

[@lizmoore1696]

thanks for the content! I have tons of cards and wasn’t sure how to get started. Just subbed my man!

[@menofresh]

Nice watch. I actually do everything you mentioned with the exception of scanner and label maker. Thx for the links.

[@lorenzobeanbeansonthescene]

Great video! I used to collect in the 90s and just got back in the game with my kids. I’m gonna use your tips for selling because I have an abundance of cards from back in the day and some of them are worth some $$$ but overall I love the hobby and look forward to all the great finds

[@drawstraw4483]

I've liked your video from the very instance I first seen one. A method to help a nice collection grow even better! Thanks 👍 man

Love the idea of Scanning. Hadnt thought of that yet. As well as your thoughts on shipping methods.

[@Bphilly.Breaks]

Hey man, I’m a big fan of this video and your content and I was wondering if I could make a similar type video of flipping low end through eBay. With credits of course.

[@GoalPlays]

thanks for this great video! I recently stumbled on my hockey card collection that has hundreds of cards in it 😅😂 definitely don't need to keep all these cards so this was super informative on how to get into selling the lower end cards...appreciate it!

[@Mintacious]

Do you start your auctions at $1 to ensure buyers or closer to final sales?

[@matthewweinman6356]

Can you explain why you do $2.99 shipping. Do you use eBay standard envelopes? Do you explain like a shipping policy. If so what is it. Thanks a ton in advance !!

[@rdubs2988]

Thank you for this video I use to do this and kinda stopped due to focusing on one sport but well definitely get back into doing this again guys this really does work if you find the right cards

[@TRIKESportsCards]

Of course! I'm glad you had success with this too

[@RazorRamon24]

Just put a lot of cheap bids in on eBay for cards you want and b surprised how much you win

[@sethother8012]

The part that confused me was when you said you use the scanner to take pictures of four cards at a time, and there is no cropping. Well, if there are four cards per scan, wouldn’t you need to crop that photo to sell as individual listings?

[@wrivers6412]

Great video man!! One of my favorite content creators in the sports card hobby!! Keep doing what you're doing dropping knowledge 👏

great video.... for cheaper cards, do you recommend 1 dollar starting bid auctions and/or (say) 3-5 dollar buy it now prices?

[@cherrypickingcards2413]

Excellent video!! I love buying player lots and piecing them off individually.. as for shipping, thank goodness for the blue usps boxes around town! I’m lucky to have one about 2 mins from my house and I use that about every day which saves so much time and miles. Take care! ✌️

[@skorpionfn674]

The biggest question I have is how do I get my listings seen. Especially because some cheaper cards will be less sought out so how can I get them sold as efficiently as possible?

[@prospectsETC]

Thank you mate. I have HUNDREDS of singles to sell of Top Prospects and am at the point where Im completely swamped. I also got so sick of having to type in the info for a new listing w the card info etc. This is going to ramp up my sales. Thank you sir!

[@nickmorrow1838]

What software or what scanner set up do you use so you don’t have to crop each card after you scan it?

[@Xterminator0]

At the minor league team stadium in my city the AAA Tides there is a car dealer that goes there every day I believe thay has $1 grab bags and there’s 20 cards per pack so as I’m 16 I normally buy 10 packs per game so I have a lot of cards collected

Which brand team bags do you use? Those look nice since they fit the single toploaded card snug

[@tonyreed3702]

Love the video! A few questions: do you mail them in a regular envelope with the card in a top loader? I think you said you also put them in team bags. Could you send me a link to what those are. I’m new here. Thanks again!

[@t_rain2578]

Awesome video thanx for the knowledge. I just have a couple questions. Do you, use international shipping? Cuz I have a lot of soccer cards as well and figure they’d sell faster with an international fan base? Also how many raw cards can fit into the standard envelope shipping without issues?

Yea that’s exactly what I was wondering lol

[@Not_Salty]

If you get Windows Fax and Scan there is a preview mode that you can enable that will highlight the borders of the top loaders of all 4 cards. You then click scan again and it will do all 4 on 1 click.
