@@agentlainezNot too bad at all considering all the 90s cards! Thanks for watching!

@@BireliLangerhans yep, that's grading included

@@rushdoulati2710 Not too bad, considering all the 90s stuff. I source on COMC, eBay & Card Shows for the most part.

@@BeyondtheBreakCollectors Thank You! Same, they are much more fun than ultra modern in my opinion.

@@SkipsCards_87 It's pretty sick! I'm debating keeping it since I PC Iverson

They definitely had Mr. 9 busy on the bball special & he was working out of New Jersey 😂 Thought there were still some rad gems tho. I'm gonna guess the Tower of Power & All-Rookie Shaqs? I PC Iverson so I was diggin' that True Colors Refractor.

@@pdxwax close...it was the Shaq postmen refractor, and that Iverson true colors refractor. Loved them! Thanks for the great content today

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 good picks! That shaq refractor is pretty sick

Aw man, that's high praise. Appreciate your support! Was definitely stoked that one pulled the gem.

Appreciate the support as always bro 🙏🏽

@@kevinzettler1568 Still around! Just moved to a new house & been very busy renovating & getting settled. Should have a new PSA reveal vid shortly!

@@MrClackamas Portland indeed

@@gradedcards5516 Much appreciated! Agreed, definitely some opportunity w/ those '02 Brady cards. Affordable but sell well graded.

Thanks! Will do my best!

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 Must have been badly timed. I think the one before that did over $100. No way I’m taking $50 on it! Appreciate it brother! New house is in a much better neighborhood so we’re looking forward to it.

@@chrisjcowboys Thanks! I love finding clean copies of the older stuff

Thanks Jesse! Appreciate your support & always dig your videos

Haha, I was definitely pleasantly surprised w/ the gem rate on this one.

@@sysda1 Yes, grading included. These were all graded at the $15.99 June Special.

@@BLACKVAULTMARKET Appreciate it! 🙏🏽

@@gradedcards5516 I noticed that comp! I’m a little torn on what to list it as because I saw a previous comp sell for $105. I’m thinking the true value is somewhere between those 2 comps since it’s low pop & has the Kobe factor. Agreed that it’s surprising to find those clean MJ’s on COMC, even his $1-5 90s cards sell for a healthy premium in a PSA 10.

Appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying the content. I'm with you on thick cards. I've gotten a few gems on thick cards w/ PSA but usually even the clean stuff pulls 9s. Seems SGC is a little more forgiving w/ the thicker stuff. I've noticed on eBay that consistency pays off. If I list weekly I get much more activity & eyes on my stuff than if I list monthly. It's also been helpful having funnels such as TH-cam directing viewers to your eBay store.

@@pdxwax good info, appreciate it. I noticed you're pretty good at gemming the Prizm cards. A lot of these cards I get look prefect on the front but have very minor print lines/scratches on the back that are pretty much only visible when angling towards light. Do you let these through to grading if this is the only flaw or are any visible print lines on the back a deal breaker for submitting?

@@michaelrobisheaux5707 No problem! Almost all optic, mosaic, prizm cards have some level of factory print lines on the backs. PSA is pretty lenient on those unless it’s egregious. I’d definitely send ‘em in if the fronts are clean. Non-factory scratches, on the other hand, are more likely to get dinged.

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 Thanks LV! Right? For someone that’s probably either 1 or 2 all time it’s surprising how affordable Bron’s cards are.

Much appreciated! I was definitely happy w/ the results. Feeling much better! Chalk the injured back up to getting old & all the new & exciting germs to having a toddler 😂

@@MrSteevo28 Much appreciated! Yep, Invested is cost of card + grading fees.

@@pdxwax thanks. Appreciate the quick reply. 🤘🏼

@@MrSteevo28 no problem!

@@GKCollectables Thank you! I have been sourcing mostly from COMC recently but have done tons of eBay in the past as well as card shows.

Agreed. It definitely wasn’t a 10. I cracked it and there wasn’t a pen mark but that back upper left corner had a slight crimp, very hard to notice unless the light hits it just right but I have no qualms w/ the 7 all flaws considered.

Haha, yeah I’m fully expecting the “hope I get this grader” comments. Obviously every now & then you get a rough order but sending in really clean cards usually yields good results. Appreciate your content for highlighting the nuances & differences between companies.

@@TravisJCollins congrats on the move!

@@pdxwax I appreciate that I really like your idea to post the comps and amount invested I might have todo that as well haha

@@TravisJCollinsit’s a little time consuming but I feel like most viewers appreciate the data!

@@pdxwax yea definitely better content always helps the viewership as well

@@crispee5265 Thank you! I try my best w/ the photos but still probably only grade 15-20% so it’s mostly a numbers game. I only send in the really clean stuff to PSA so that tends to keep my gem rates healthy.

@@bennybreaks702 Much appreciated. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate It! Was definitely happy w/ this one. Thanks for watching 🙏🏽

@@michaeldenzer6024 appreciate it! Yeah decided not to crack any out after all

Appreciate it! You nailed it. I'm very meticulous about what I grade & have enough experience that I trust my eye.

@@mattk1631 haha yep & she was drinking her water too 🤣

Thanks LV! I love that year of Skybox, something about the font & graphic design really does it for me. Super tough w/ the black bordered backs. Always appreciate your support & words of encouragement! 🙏

What's up!

@@MyrickWillard7 It’s honestly a crapshoot, the scans on COMC are not the best quality. I do my best not to buy anything w/ glaring flaws. I have a well trained eye for centering, which is something I can usually glean even from lower quality scans. It’s really not possible to fully assess a card until you have it in hand. Often a card looks clean in scans but has major surface issues in hand. It’s really just a numbers game. In my last COMC video I bought 386 cards & only sent 22% to PSA w/ another 7% going to SGC. To be fair, there were plenty of cards I rejected that were likely PSA 9’s but it doesn’t make financial sense to shoot for 9’s on most modern cards. I have a critical eye & if I don’t think a card is gem worthy I don’t grade it. That’s why my gem rates are relatively high (contrary to the belief I must know somebody at PSA 😂).

@@daviddanielle7308 thanks!

Thanks for watching! Great questions. I am a very detail oriented & habit-driven person. When I submit an order, I sort the cards alphabetically by year & set. I don't like sending in too many copies of a card & usually try to split them up into different orders (just an OCD thing). While I've sent in a few 100+ card orders, I tend to prefer the 50-75 card sweet spot. The super large orders make me nervous because you run the risk of getting a hardass for a grader. I use a fresh penny sleeve & Card Saver II (Cardboard Gold brand).

Much appreciated! Following your lead

@@jessmansportscards appreciate it!

@@3pt-cards Much appreciated! Yeah I’m on the fence about whether to keep that Team MVPs MJ, definitely a nostalgic card for me. Keeping the Sharpshooters for sure tho!

or...if you had the grader's eye that this guy does it couldn't hurt

@@gradedcards5516100% agree, it’s all in the submitter, this guy has got an amazing eye for pristine cards

@@bennybreaks702 That’s awesome! Fun card, not too many in the pop report. Good luck!

Me too! Hopefully it’s a viable way to squeeze out a little extra profit on cards that aren’t quite PSA-worthy. We shall see
