Midwest Monster Day 2 Card Show Vlog [Dealer POV]

Let's go to the Midwest Monster sports card show in Fishers, Indiana on Saturday, June 8, 2024.
The TripleCrown24 KZbin channel is focused around one dealer's journey through the hobby via card shows, discourse with fellow hobbyists, and grading submission reveals. Today's video recaps the buy/sell/trade transactions from my most recent card show.

I'm not a modern guy but I do appreciate a peak behind the curtain of dealer in both of these vlogs. I love your methodology and your calm controlled demeanor when negotiating. The guys that beg, "you gotta work with me, come on", I think are born out of the profit, rather than collector, mentality. I know this for sure, that will never be me. I'd rather lose $20 here and there than beg someone when I'm trading paper for cardboard.

[@TripleCrown24]

Thank you for your kind words! You are correct, about 9 out of 10 times that someone begs, it's for profit. Every now and then, you get a collector who really wants something, yet we usually aren't that far apart. I know if it were me and I was $20 apart on something I really wanted, I'm going to concede the $20, but that's just me.

JT, it was nice talking with you on Saturday. I am glad you did well during the show and I am pretty sure everybody will always think their stuff is worth more than it is and your stuff is worth less. It’s all just part of the game.

[@TripleCrown24]

Nice seeing you again, Otto! You're are spot on in your assessment

[@antmavel]

This channel is quickly becoming my favourite show to watch on YT. Really like the educational tone and the way you described your process, keep it up ! 🎉 also nice positivity tone overall which is nice to hear these days…

[@TripleCrown24]

Thank you for the high praise! I try to keep it positive when I can

[@cardsacrossamerica]

Dude....I was exhausted after Saturday went back to my hotel and crashed. Looking forward to Cleveland now!!!

[@TripleCrown24]

Time for a little R&R my friend!

[@BabyDoIIx]

I absolutely LOVE how you respond to resellers. I have been screaming from the hills about, *IM SELLING THEM TO MAKE ME MONEY… IM NOT SELLING THEM TO LOSE MONEY SO YOU CAN MAKE MONEY* That’s not your problem if they are going that route … I got from my Dad, *if I don’t like the price? I don’t buy it… period* people can’t seem to grasp that… everyone is buying now to resell… it makes it tough for me cuz I just collect

[@TripleCrown24]

Thank you. It's a problem that seems to be getting worse, which is discouraging. At this point, it may not be a bad thing if some resellers get squeezed out in the next year or so to promote a more healthy show environment. Thanks again for watching.

[@MrFisherbike]

Great footage as always, j.T.Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@TripleCrown24]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@huckssportscards]

Another great video! Love the buy and sell info!

[@TripleCrown24]

Thanks!

[@daniel4619]

I feel like singing that song “You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run.” Good luck at the National.

[@TripleCrown24]

Absolutely!

[@sacthequeen123]

Good strategy on just getting out from under that big deal with the stroud and getting even. Sometimes it's the best thing to do and just reinvest that money into something thats going to move easier

[@TripleCrown24]

Absolutely, I had enough time to read the room and get a good feeling of what I would've got for the card had I held on. The risk started to outweigh the reward

[@LegendsNeverDieCollection]

Glad you did well JT!

[@TripleCrown24]

Thanks!

[@foxbreaks9473]

Couldn't agree more about recent Comps. You're not allowed to get steals on ebay lol really bothers me. Great vids as always.

[@TripleCrown24]

Thank you! Most of these guys don't understand the volatility of auctions

[@4softcorners728]

Nice deals and footage! Definitely sounded like a big success. Must feel like a nice reward after so much hard work and hustle….now relax a little bit! Haha

[@TripleCrown24]

It was satisfying to wrap up that stretch, onto the next!

[@WeskerGriff]

You didn't film Portillos! JT...C'MON MAN!

[@TripleCrown24]

Gotta subscribe to the Patreon (at the gold three crown tier) for the exclusive Portillos trip video, sir!

[@Tomjanson333]

Great video. Best dealer pov out there.

[@TripleCrown24]

Thanks!

[@jmy5966]

I have a ten year-old issue of Beckett Baseball monthly that I'd like to use and at 75% of that comp. C'mon man! Gimme some room to work with! 🤣🤣🤣

[@TripleCrown24]

Haha! The people need some room!

[@EYoung88]

Great video! Love the channel and the content you put out there. Keep up the great work!

[@TripleCrown24]

Thank you!

[@brettfry5901]

Another great video. Congrats on the success at the show💪

[@TripleCrown24]

Thank you

[@PickSixCards]

Another great video

[@Bulletproofcards]

I’ve made it a point to not deal with people at shows that aren’t a dealer paying for a table. I go to shows to buy from paying vendors for my collection. They pay for the table they deserve the business as long as they’re fair

[@TripleCrown24]

I think many others feel that way too. This venue does have adequate space to accommodate attendees to sit down to deals with one another. However, I have heard of people getting kicked out of shows for poaching people looking to sell since it's takes away opportunities for dealers.

[@MattyT4eva]

mmmmmm...Portillo's.....Gimme some room on those cheese fries.

[@TripleCrown24]

Buying all Italian beefs at 80% menu price!

[@BeamTeam2024]

What card app are you using? Card ladder ?

[@tx_cardshark]

Are you using Alt or Center stage to scan? I couldn’t tell

[@TripleCrown24]

ALT

[@asuh1158]

What app is he using to scan the cards like that? 7:00 min mark

[@AllMikeD_34]

What app do you use to scan for prices?

[@millr7165]

What app do you use to get your comps?

[@scottflint4916]

Gofffffff!!!!!!!

[@nabzy28]

Great video, as always. Personally, as you mentioned regarding the non numbered stuff, I avoid all of it. Won't touch the Kabooms, etc. that are, allegedly, SP or case hits or whatever. The print runs on some of these products is insane, now. I just can't trust that they don't have 5k count boxes of stuff like that that they ran off and could have sitting around. Hopefully they don't and, once they lose the licenses, stuff like that doesn't get dumped - but it's not a chance I'm willing to take.

[@TripleCrown24]

I've heard rumors of Kabooms being backdoored but they haven't amount to much more than that: rumors. That being said, history would tell us what you said is very very possible.

[@PickSixCards]

What up TC24

[@lecronflamez]

Everybody tryna make a buck. Glad I’m not a flipper, rough business.

[@TripleCrown24]

Yep, cards are far less enjoyable as a job vs a hobby

[@RainMan5]

Yesterday's price is not today's price.

[@TripleCrown24]

Absolutely!
