I Made Some BIG Mistakes Buying These Cards 😓 (and that's ok)

[@q00per45]

You guys should add moving averages and/or Japanese candlesticks with customizable time frames… that would be sick!

[@lancebowman653]

As always, love the content T-Pot. I would love a video about your collection like you mentioned in the past; I could sit and watch you mull through random cards for hours!

[@MarketMovers]

Thank you! I should have some content like that coming soon!

[@CaptShriver]

You seem a little sad selling these, although you want to get rid of them. I don't know. It just seems like a downer for you to have decided to do it

[@luismontiel3921]

Great video. This helped. I was in denial about what to part with.

[@ryanra44]

Thank you for making this video. I am going through this process right now. Moving all the 2020/21 hobby hype craze cards I bought and no longer care for. I listed over 500 raw cards already. Going through about 100 graded cards right now. At this point I’m not even worried about what I paid for them. Up on some. Down on some

[@ManOfCole]

I am actually currently doing the same thing with my collection right now. Taking some advice from previous videos about consolidating more nuanced cards into more "iconic" cards of my favorite players.

[@baseballbrownie2317]

GL with your sales T-Pot, when should I sell Juan Soto cards now with his New 765 Mil. Contract with the Mets and will his Value go down, see you and the Guys on Spitballing with this Topic,Happy Holidays to you all.

[@iNeverHadMercy]

Another Homerun, Teapot! Sometimes in life, one just HAS to "let some things GO!" I (like some other 2023/24 investors) have to "let go" of Jonathan Brooks cards 😡 Dude got hurt AGAIN with the Panthers.....Money gone 💸

[@josesparkyjohnson]

Most cards been going down like crazy and packs have been going up

[@metsrus]

Even the legends like MJ, Lebron, and Kobe are taking a hit. I think investors are shifting out of the card market and positioning themselves into bitcoin and cryptos, which are the hotter assets right now. Investors always chasing the next pump. This is actually a perfect time to get that high end card at a discount.

[@asburycollins9182]

Long term the legends should be good. Finance bros will be back

[@jeffschwantes1930]

Horizontal cards don't look good in slabs IMO. Displaying them looks awkward

[@crazykev6491]

100%

[@UncleKylesCards]

i wish psa did a horizontal slab like HGA

[@MarketMovers]

Yeah can be tricky for sure

[@brettcb471]

Trying to flip PSA 10 base rookies and PSA 9 vet inserts seems like an excellent way to torch $

[@sovereignruler]

Buying a card is not investing; it's speculation. A card is not a financial instrument (i.e. stock, bond, pref. stock, etc.). There is no way of calculating a card's real value b/c it's all based on what someone is willing to pay for it, which is nothing more than speculation. That's not to say that someone cannot make money in sports cards. It's just that there is no standard metric that can be used to determine a card's intrinsic value. If you pony up big money for a piece because you think you can sell it to the next guy for more, it's on you if the card loses its value for no other reason than speculation. If you love the card and the player then the card becomes priceless b/c it's not about the money.

[@creeper2054]

How is that any different than crypto? I can at least hold a card.

[@sovereignruler]

@@creeper2054 I agree. Most crypto is for speculators, but not Bitcoin. Study it for 100 hours and you'll get an idea as to what that is.

[@metsrus]

Sure a vast majority is about flipping and selling when it's hot, but the card market isn't always about speculation. When people buy legends and proven guys like MJ, steph, lebron, mahomes, it's usually to keep in their personal collection as long term investments. No different from people speculating on penny stocks for quick gains and flipping them to buy the blue chips for long term.

[@asburycollins9182]

​@@creeper2054its not different. But its different than stocks for instance

[@asburycollins9182]

​@@metsrusit is different bc stocks are businesses and they produce a product or offer a service thereby generating value. Cards do not generate value. You can calculate the point at which a stock is too cheap. If they make 200 mil profit and have 200 mil assets and are solid business they should be worth more than 800 at the very least right. The cards are worth money only bc people care. If they dont care they are worth nothing. And thats why its different

[@keatoncroxen9498]

I’m def interested in your Culpepper and Megatron if you haven’t already sold/shipped for consignment yet. I’d love to work something out

[@MarketMovers]

Hey there! I sold them to CardsHQ, so they might be available on the site soon!

[@slymancollector4157]

I pulled SO MUCH Eloy in 2019. If only he wasn't terrible lol

[@tx_cardshark]

Market movers all year and it’s really getting on my nerves that I can’t find half the searches i put in. Frustrating so I go back to eBay. Might cancel soon .

[@hughporter399]

Yo T-Pot! Do you think there will ever be a day that graded cards won't have such a premium over raw cards? Love your videos bro. My favorite of the SCI family

[@MarketMovers]

I would love to see that gap close, over time. Whether or not it will, I do not know. But it does seem silly to me to pay a massive 3-4x premium for a PSA 10 of an ultra modern card when there are hundreds or even thousands of them.

[@CaptShriver]

The Football cards to get a hold of is JAHMYR GIBBS. I'm trying to figure out why there is not more love for his cards

[@MichaelParsons-j7f]

What do you think about the 93-94 topps stadium club beam team bball set? Good investment trying to assemble? The Jordan is obviously the most expensive piece. Go Green! Go Lions!

[@SpursCards21]

It’s so hard to let them go lol I know someone who would really like that Drummond Cavs, Hoss 😀

[@MarketMovers]

Great to hear from you, my friend!

[@martinsuper4545]

I used to deal in military antiques so I know how the game works. I get how to buy, how to sell, and selling at shows. It's all the same principal. But with cards, the sellers are INSANE. If a guy has a few $5 cards, and mostly $1 or less cards, he wants you to pay full retail for all of it, plus sometimes a premium. I tell these people, I'm reselling. I can't pay you 125% value on them. I see some cards that last year were worth $15 are not going for $2 today. They still want the $15. And these $1 cards? I can spent days listing everyone of them, they wont sell anytime soon. What are they really worth? NOTHING. I want to do this because my son and I are both into cards, and we want to have some fun buying and selling. But so far, it's not fun at all.

[@donnys_sportscards]

Hey T-Pott I might be interested in the ichiro/Pujols card

[@MarketMovers]

I sold it to Cards HQ already...sorry!

[@sheldenhubbs9281]

Where are you listing the Kelce /5? Would love to get that off you

[@shorebreakcards]

You're not the only guys who pikes a crooner! Awesome video and great lessons on card collecting 👍

[@matthewkennard1166]

If i asled myself the question if i would pay what i did at the time, currently. I would have to move moat of my PC that has gone down in value. My burrow stuff no i would not pay the money i did then because i know i can buy lower. Would i pay the now prices most definately

[@alexmathewmendoza]

This video is really making me want to dig through my boxes and declutter lol

[@crazykev6491]

I do it every winter when my lawn care/landscape job ends early December to make room and buy bigger cards.

[@crazykev6491]

I sold 42 slabs at the October Chantilly show for $4000, setting a numerous new comps of which I probably had $2000 into. Good luck

[@pamn1220]

T pot whats the benefit of sending to a consignment rather than just listing yourself?

[@MarketMovers]

It is far less work, often gets more eyes on your listings, and - if the card is expensive enough - can actually save you money on fees versus listing yourself (many times it is 10% or less versus 15% if you sell yourself).

[@Dog8myhomework]

Chicken nugget budget 🤣🤣🤣

[@asburycollins9182]

Id buy the holyfield if i didnt have to pay import fees and deal with the hassle of that

[@GFTCNJ]

Probably a wise move to get out of J-Rod while you can.

[@MarketMovers]

He's still super young. I hope he can turn it around, but you never know...

[@fliplife67]

In the hobby U take a lot of Ls before U realized when is a W.

[@Mr.Enfuego]

Ok, so what is the message you are sending out to ACTUAL collectors who can care less about performance/value adjustment? This may prove successful for investors...but I LOVE my 2022 Topps Big League J-Rod regardless if he had a crappy season...

[@lecronflamez]

Dumb video of a guy showing PC Cards he thinks he overpaid a couple dollars for..

[@MarketMovers]

Go Lions!

[@BestBallCabal]

Cards always look better in a one-touch. A stranger's opinion sways me not. Grading is for dorks who wants to lose money pretending to be flippers. THERE IS ONLY ONE FLIPPER AND HE WAS FASTER THAN LIGHTNING. AND NO ONE WAS SMARTER THAN HE. FOR HE WAS KING OF THE SEA!!!!!
