How to PROFIT GRADING Sports Cards

[@PapaDubBreaks]

Hey I graded and sold that Mookie Betts card!! Pretty cool to see it featured

[@llamedica]

Great video - thank you! Never considered grading but you made it seem approachable.

[@GemRippers]

Absolutely one of the best Data Dives yet! This is where the $$$ is (along w the arbitrage that is cracking to sub to PSA!)! The main thing I tell customers who ask about grading is that you wanna atleast be breaking even if you get a 9. QUESTION; you said if you get subs in now to PSA you should have them back by National. So Bulk Subs are coming back that quick, ie 4-5 wks? Obviously not the June Special, though, since they say 65 biz days, right? Keep up the GREAT work!!! PS: Market Movers Makes Magic!

Really love the info bro 100% getting the market Movers app asap

PSA is more expensive too. If your card is worth more than 10k, they charge you 1000 bucks (or more, there are higher tiers of card value) to grade the card. BGS allows you to declare how much the card is worth and then auto calculates the price of insurance for your card, so if a grader drops your card or something happens and it gets damage, you would be covered by insurance. So if you send a 10k card to PSA its 1000 bucks fee, but for BGS its less than half of that. PSA also does not grade the centering on back of cards while BGS does. Sometimes cards are center in the front, but the back is offcenter. Card flippers aka "investors" go to PSA because its more forgiving on their card evaluation.

BGS are the best of a bad bunch. I had to pay $2000 in upcharges to PSA two years ago and the cards are now worthless. The grading is a joke over there. You rarely get a fair grade. I would send cards to BGS and save on the upcharges and resubmissions. Membership at PSA isn't worth it. They no longer have the 15 free grades vouchers. BGS for a fair grade and lesser fees and charges. Nat Turner out

[@DanielCordone9]

I've received 9.5's for the centering at BGS wherein the front is perfect and the back is way off. Most companies don't downgrade on back centering

[@modernlegend_gaming]

Man i think it's ridiculous how much psa and other grading companies charge... 🙄 the price to grade a card shouldn't change based off the value of a card... and honest psa sucks. I like how beckett shows the ratings for each thing being graded. Id like to see more companies establish themselves in the grading space and get the grading prices back down to realistically affordable rates.

[@theodorerivera81]

Great stuff and awesome video my friend 💯.

[@DanielCordone9]

BGS are the best. PSA need to get rid of upcharges, reintroduce the 15 free grades regarding membership, significantly reduce grading fees and most importantly hire competent graders.

[@DanielCordone9]

Hiring graders that don't damage valuable cards regularly would help.

[@Hectekk]

FYI, if trying to break even with a PSA9 when grading make sure to include EBay sale fees in calculations if you plan to sell there.

[@theodorerivera81]

Can you tell me how much a Donruss rookie auto of Joe Wieskamp goes for, please and thank you.

[@G5ranch]

Great information. Thank for sharing

[@Talkturkeysportscards]

I get the data analysis. I highly appreciate it tremendously and believe in it. I’m a quant and that how I traded on Wall Street for 18 years. The question I have for you is something you mentioned. You said you like trading at shows. I do as well and will travel to shows for new experiences as well as to profit. Where do those buy and sells show up in the data analytics? Do you accommodate some how for “yard sale” or “card show” deals?

[@Mica-me6pm]

Got Baseball cards service is money well spent! They are amazing, customer service cannot be beat. They have saved me a ton of aggravation, they reject what I would have spent money on to get graded only to be disappointed with the grade. Highly recommend utilizing the service, great topic this week TPot luv the content.

[@DanielCordone9]

I like the bloke who runs it. Seems a genuine caring person

[@TedWilliams1959Fleer]

I like to buy graded cards with sub grades and I restore them to a higher grade for huge profits. I also pre grade all my prospect cards and cracked slab cards too. Great video and we already see so many people doing these things now.

[@jamesnguyen7069]

now u told ur secret. i will do the same!

[@sp123]

What you mean by "restore"

[@jamesgaebel1369]

Im sure it means trim the corners. Keep eyes out for "restore

[@rage508cardsngrails]

Awesome vid. Thanks.

[@miguelavila8961]

Basketball is super hard to make anything on due to their market, I’ve done great with football with all of the younger QB’s. Burrow, Allen, Hurts, and some Herbert, also some of the more exciting receivers.

[@catdaddy2643]

I like fresh and clean

[@rubysportscards5165]

My experience is that probably 50% of the raw cards being sold have some defect which eliminates it from a Gem grade (that is why it is being sold). Of the other half, maybe 50% will Gem in a best case scenario, so overall 25% of the raw cards you see for sale will Gem in a best case scenario. I find your gem odds are higher if you buy redemptions and wait for the card to come, and buy encased raw cards direct from the manufacturer.

[@eurostar0711]

I dont grade my cards because i moved to Europe and there is no BGS or PSA here lol. I prefer to submit in person because i dont trust mail service for my cards. I have cards that i pulled myself while wearing gloves and took pictures of them so i dont have to pull the cards out of storage, and many of them are worth 10k-100k. There is no way in hell i'll mail those cards.

[@jonsmith479]

I dont understand why we want a card that has a great "gem rate." All it means is that there are a lot of other PSA 10's of that card, thus lowering its value. It doesn't mean that the raw cards you buy of that card are likely to do a 10.

[@tonytrinh3850]

Ive heard of those people swapping out cards.

[@montana01]

Seems like a very flipper tactic in my opinion. I’d rather buy the cards I enjoy, bc if I get stuck with it, I’ll still like the card.

[@RacerRed]

We need a video that analyzes slab worth by features. Anti counterfeit features are huge for me. This makes PSA the only slab I look at pretty much.

[@Jonfishman5624]

Why did you block AIH

[@andrewmeyers6243]

PSA pay ya? No even mention of other companies in the first 3 min...what a commercial

Great info. But if you're showing a screen, don't have yourself on the side. We don't need to see you talk. Let us see the data too.

[@thememefactory8108]

Agreed. We know what you look like and that you’re still there. Also I don’t understand why we need an introduction that’s so long every video either 😂

[@GemRippers]

@@thememefactory8108 Seriously?! LOL He does what you're supposed to do & does it right. Always start w a brief intro telling the audience what the videos gonna be about which this one is a whopping 9-seconds followed by the show's original intro of 14-sec. Sorry that 23 seconds is "sooooo long" to you ppl!🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂
