Don't Miss This PSA Reveal! Tips for Grading Sports Cards in 2024
super helpful video! i’ll have to check out the website you use to organize everything, it looks like it well make the process much easier haha!
Great video! Very helpful
Thanks! More like this coming soon!
Great Vid! 👍🏽
Thanks! More coming soon!
thanks for the insight! I’m new to collecting and haven’t sent any cards yet appreciate the advice! Not sure if you have already but a good video would be to show how you find value cards that can be graded and flipped, would love to learn how to find cards
Yeah I have guides for buying on eBay and Facebook so you can check those out! And feel free to reach out to me on IG with any questions
Great video man, thanks.
No problem! Lots more coming soon!
Does that blue light help easily identify minor issues? What do you typically spot with it? Thanks!
It’s not really a blue light, just looks that way in the video. I normally just use my phone flashlight to examine cards and that works just fine. Direct light just helps to notice surface defects that otherwise can’t be seen.
Awesome video, definitely appreciate the info! I'm really interested in trying out the site you were using but it just keeps coming up saying it Timed out that the Connection Took Too Long. Were you using a certain browser to use it? Was just trying it on my phone through Chrome.
Sometimes I’ve noticed it does that when the www is missing in the url. If you’re still having issues, feel free to reach out to me on IG (link in description) and I can help. Thanks!
@@synergycards That's kinda weird but hey it worked! Definitely appreciate you getting back to me quick. I'll be digging into the app today for sure. Been looking for some different ways to help track what I'm trying to do as I'm scaling up.
Glad it worked. I’ve been looking for a solution to that problem for awhile but haven’t found one yet. Let me know if you have any questions/suggestions!
Thank you for the content. Insightful as always. I grade more 80’s and 90’s and need to be even more picky. Less competition on buying which is good, but need to look at far more cards to find gems. Margins haven’t been as compressed.
Yeah very true! Margins are much better if you can get mostly 9’s and 10’s
Great video!
Thanks! Lots more videos coming soon!
Great content. Thanks again for always being willing to share. I have submitted my first 10 card submission followed up by a 20 card submission. PSA says I will be getting the 10 back in Feb . Followed your process and am looking forward to seeing how I do. I will circle back around and let you know the results when they come in. Happy Holidays!
Great to hear! Excited to hear how it goes!
This was extremely helpful. I love these more detailed videos as there is nothing like this on TH-cam. More detailed stuff like this please!
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely a lot more videos coming soon!
Great video, thanks so much
No problem! Let me know if you have any questions!
Buying Josh Allen
I wish I could get my psa orders back in a month lol… I’ve got 1 in assembly been there since 10/7 & another in research & ID been there since 11/5 🤦♂️
Yeah they’ve really slowed down for me too.. very frustrating part about grading with PSA for sure
If you're not in a hurry I'd make the order but wait on sending anything until after the last PSA special is revealed. It could be $15 per card
Yeah I’ll definitely be shooting to send in another order at the end of this month. Hoping for a good special
UPDATE December 2024: I just added several new features to the synergy web app (website I made to track sports card finances) so make sure to check that out! It saves me tons of hours and helps me know what is working and what isn't in my sports card business (use code HOLIDAY24 for your first month FREE!): www.synergycards.app
I love your videos on showing how to buy on eBay for grading. This video definitely shows that it is a great time to buy baseball and grade it. I had a couple questions though. 1st when you use gixen do you usually get your cards for a good deal or do you pay close to comp price? And then 2nd how do you go about looking at cards to grade online or even in person that might have scratches on the case but it’s hard to tell if they actually are. Do you just take the gamble if you think the scratches are in the case? Again, love the videos!
Great questions. With gixen, I just set the max price I’m willing to bid (usually at or just over comps depending on the card). Sometimes I get outbid but I’m okay with that because I wouldn’t have wanted to pay any more than my max bid anyway. And often I win cards for less than my max bid. As far as scratches, if there’s something that looks like it might be on the card I usually message the seller about it. Surface issues are the hardest part about buying online for sure. Let me know if you have any other questions and feel free to reach out to me on IG anytime
@ Thanks!
Don't grade Bowman's best autos. Juice isn't worth the squeeze
Yeah I am learning to stick with mostly bowman chrome and Topps chrome for baseball. I appreciate the advice!
Just found your channel & subscribed to get you closer to 1,500! I also have a TH-cam channel about baseball cards/autographs/celebrities, etc. I am getting close to 700! Check it out, thanks!
I would like to see a reasons for reject video
Awesome I’ll try to get that put together
What has been your experience with grading 80s and 90s cards. Id love to hear your insight. I love that era and want to start collecting and grading
Great question. I haven’t really done anything from the 80’s, but for 90’s stuff I generally look for cards with white borders that are break even in a psa 8, profitable in a psa 9 and super profitable in a psa 10
I'd be interested in seeing why you rejected those cards. You have a pretty high gem rate, so it would be interesting to see.
Sounds good, yeah I’ll try to put that together!
Maybe he uses a magnifying glass?
I just use a flashlight and a centering tool (if needed)
Big fan of the channel… question in your opinion, I’ve heard you discuss in older vids potentially not shying away from cards that center (3/2 -60/40). I feel like when I sort through my inventory I run into so many cards that fall into perfect surface but center (3/2) send them all in ? Or just move on from most ? Or spread them throughout orders?
Great question! Recently (past 3 months or so) I feel like they have been a little tougher on centering. I would sprinkle in a few per order and see how they grade them
@ sprinkle got it!
Appreciate the value added on these psa reveals. Hope my current order there treated better .
Thanks and good luck!
I’ve been grading for 2-1/2 years now and I have a set of questions I ask before purchasing on eBay. Some people get mad and say I’m cherry picking! But majority of peeps are honest and send extra pics to answer all my questions.
Yeah never hurts to message sellers and ask!
Everyone got these low grades during the last 30 days, the gem rates are down. What a joke
Yeah the inconsistency at PSA is probably the most frustrating thing about grading cards
Thanks for watching! Check the description for the financial details of this order! Also, I sold the very first card for $60, not $0 😂
Honestly I’m sick of hearing “this is not my card” a million times over the past 2 videos. Just do us all a favor and pull those cards out of your stack pre-video.
Fair enough. Thanks for the suggestion!
I would like to see a summary at the end showing total profit for the submission
It’s at the very beginning of the description, but yeah I should start putting it at the end of the video too. Thanks!
Any tips for someone starting out trying to grade? I’ve sent in several orders and done decently just want to gain more capital. Thanks!
Great question. I recommend starting a pipeline of grading orders. So start with what you can, but ideally at least 1 order per month. And try to focus on liquid cards when your capital is limited, so rookies of top players. Feel free to reach out to me on IG if you have any more questions or want to discuss more in depth.
Would love a video of you talking about what it will take for you to go full time. Thanks for the knowledge on grading, submitting my first order tomorrow
Great to hear! Good luck with the order! And yeah definitely would be cool to do a video of what I’ll need to get to full time
Good stuff 👍😎💪
Thanks! I appreciate it!
How was it overall in terms of profit per hour on your time compared to just listing stuff to eBay? Sounds like it was a lot of fun either way
Yeah it was definitely a ton of preparation, and compared to listing on eBay the profit per hour definitely wasn’t as much. However, it didn’t really feel like work, and it was a great experience. Definitely not something I would want to do every week or even every month, but once or twice a year would be awesome.
Setting up at shows are always fun and it’s one of the best ways to see what people are interested in. Solid pickups!
Thanks! Yeah it was a really fun experience!
Awesome video, some nice trade deals, and I love helping the kid with the trade up challenge! I am excited to see the other videos!
Thanks! Hope to get the other vids out soon!
As a dealer at a recent show, what kinds of stuff were people asking for? Does it seem like Wemby was still drawing a lot of interest? Did it give you any insight into what could/should be looking to grade right now?
Great question. Wemby drew some interest but not as much as I thought. Ohtani was the big one. So I’m trying to grade more of his stuff right now. Currently working on the video with all the sales I made at the show, so stay tuned for that!
What videos do you want to see more of?
Setting up at cardshow seems like fun experience
It was a ton of fun! I don’t think I would want to do it super often because it was a lot of work, but totally worth the experience for sure!
Would be good if you called out the grades as you turn. But great haul for u
Yeah I should do better at that. Sometimes with the big orders I just speed up to get through them quicker.
Do yourself a favor an add WWE cards to the mix.
Definitely not opposed to it! I’d love to get to the point where I’m comfortable grading anything that makes sense
@ WWE market has seen steady growth. Worth doing some research. The girls largely outsell the guys, besides Rock, Hogan, Stone Cold, Andre, and a few others.
I’ll have to do some research and try it out!
what sport would you say to invest in grading because I have a little bit of everything ?
For legends and hall of fame players you can grade/flip them year round. For new rookies, I try to buy them in the offseason and sell them leading up to the start of the season. Feel free to reach out to me on IG if you have specific cards you want advice on.
Thanks! Nice content. I’m trying to figure out my strategy for purchasing and grading
Yeah always good to put in the time to research to make sure you’re getting cards that actually make sense to grade margin-wise
Thanks telling about the “Import WL” feature! I’ve been using Gixen for a while and never knew that. I’ve been copying and pasting the auction # to setup my snipe.
Got a similar gem rate back on a 37 card order but still generated enough profit to keep the ball rolling
Love to hear it! With the right cards you can still be profitable even with lower gem rates
Surprised to see no skenes?
Yeah definitely should have graded a bunch of his stuff. I will probably grade some Topps chrome update of his
It will be interesting to see how some of the lower end Wembys work out. My head tells me that his recent price drops are going to continue.
Yeah there’s just way too much of his base stuff at this point. It will take a whole lot to move prices up on those even a little bit, so I’m just getting rid of them now
Isnt that a 1.5 return
1.5x would be $60
It’s 2.5x
