Diggin' your videos. I recently decided to start selling the cards I collected as a kid from the seventies into the early eighties. A lot of Baseball, Football and movie cards including the original runs of Star Wars, Close Encounters, Empire Strikes back and more. Just loading them all into my eBay store now. I got the bug though, already bought some "newer" cards from various spots and got some of those in my store. Really enjoying getting back into collecting.

I have snagged some good lots on eBay and Facebook as well. You have to be patient for sure. My favorite is still to bargain box dig at card shows. A lot of times though, I now go to shows to set up and makes it harder to go around and buy.😂I actually track my lot purchases on a spreadsheet where I record the cards I list from it and track the purchase price vs net sale price to track when I break even then see what I make as a profit on it. Fits my spreadsheet nerdism along with my collecting nerdism🤓. Thanks again for the insight and advice once again brother!🤙🏻

Great video! I honestly thought that was Mike McCarthy in the thumbnail for a sec! Anyway, another idea is to go on a forum like Blowout Cards and just let people know you’re willing to spend, say, 75% of comps. You will probably get sarcastic comments like “wow, so generous!” but you will also be surprised how many people are ok with selling at that discount.

I have a huge collection of sports cards (tens of thousands). All from 2016 to current. In football, basketball and baseball. If you would be interested, let me know. I literally have an entire bedroom dedicated to storing them all and would really just like to make room. They are taking over, LOL!!! I have always organized them well and kept them in great condition. Barely dipped my toes into ebay selling and it is tedious and painful to sit and do card after card. I have way too many great ones. I just don't have it in me to spend that kind of time on. I am starting to sell on the Whatnot platform, hoping it goes well, yet to tell. I know the value in them, and I also know you have to make a profit as well. Anyway, just let me know. Nice video as well.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who thinks only maybe one or two collections found on Facebook marketplace are worth it. I’ve only gotten three in the last year. First two were worth it but nothing super insane. Second one was a little better. And this last one was the most expensive. 2k but had three Jalen hurts raw auto RCs in there. That was a lot of money back instantly. Still haven’t gone through the whole lot so hoping it pans out.

For anything that is not junk wax, do you list it in your store using CDP even if it is a common? Or, do you have certain criteria for things that get scanned in? I don't have that trained eye yet so it takes me forever to see if an item is worth it. I have a collection I bought that has alot of junk wax, but also alot before 86 and after 93. I was thinking anything that isn't junk wax I would scan. But, if it was in 86 to 93 I would only look for RC or HOF cards. The rest I would sell as lots. Is that a good strategy ?
@Chical209 Жыл бұрын
Jason, what things do you look for in cards when sourcing? Certain sets, years, sports, players??? I find cards I like, everyone already has. What's hot changes daily, and many cards are over produced. I focus more on graded cards, I don't have the space time to store bulk cards and sell dollar cards. I don't bother with yard sales or estate sales, they are mobbed with collectors and usually want too much money. Have you done any self storage auctions? I'm glad you mentioned finding a good card in a dud lot. I have had that happen several times, often its hard to come up with an accurate price and its not difficult to overpay. But I also have found rookies that made up for it.

Macro sort/organize the unlisted inventory as best you can. By sport first so you can decide which sport you want start with depending on current demand. Then find the boxes that look like honey holes and start there. While you are posting the honey hole box fill a new box with commons that are not worth much to deal with later. Also find and make sets to move multiple cards at once. Rinse and repeat.

Naw, just need to have a plan on how you are going to reinvest what you make from what you initially put up. Personally I try to put what I paid for something plus 40% of the profit into my store savings account. This covers the 22% tax on profit plus allows me to grow my bank account for future purchases. Because I do this on a spreadsheet, I can’t allow myself to cheat it. And once you factor in business expenses, the 22% tax is more like 17%

I love how people immediately make statements like this to dismiss taking a chance. That’s why you won’t be successful bro, and always be reliant on someone else’s success for that paycheck. Where there is a will, there is a way. Arbitrage, reinvesting and creative budgeting are all ways to start a business and scale it without debt or heavy initial capital investments.
