This video is incredibly insightful, you should do these once monthly or at least every other month. As a collector of the art and not a player of the game, you’ve shown me how much i have sitting in my closest. TYVM!
I recently traded my bulk and some cards at my local lgs for a Paldea evolved booster box. They had a special going on where they matched 100% value off TCG player since they had a lot of empty cases to fill up at the store.
Well dang, my LGS' suck. They're too good for even some of my slightly higher end cards. I just recycle all my unwanted bulk. Don't have the space to be storing tons of cards I don't care about.
Love these videos Danny! Helps me organize my bulk. Could you do these every once in a while? Perhaps before a regional event or something? Like which decks are doing well or which you expect to do well? Keep up the good werk, much love!
by far the most useful video i've seen since starting this hobby, i opened a lot of paradox rift and just went through my bulk for it...found 12 earthen vessels and 8 counter catchers, some poffins too! thanks!
Great topic. Glad you talked through some of it. I’ve been sitting on some and have no reason to even bother with it. I guess I hope that it goes up some so I can turn over a little bit of the cost of opening packs.
I started making 3d Pokémon cards with my bulk. The few I’m working on take about 5x+ 1 revers hollow. Looking forward to getting to my stack of drampa from temporal forces
I have like 1.5k-2k reverse holos, 1k holo, and like 8k non holo bulk. All near mint idk what to do with it and no local game stores are buying... about 400 of the reverses are pokemon 151 as well. Was trying to find the best way to liquidate it
I do one normal, one reverse, one holo, and one of each special print (like cosmos holo? if I get them for each card if I happen to get them. So that there’s a hard limit on what I have of each card. Unless it’s a special case like deck building for myself. Just gotta go and resort through my bulk again, it’s been a couple months so I’m back to needing another bulk clear. I don’t open as much as tons of other people do but still good practice to do!
Good video, lots of trainers I'm currently running (Ancient Box) and it was a good reminder to list some of the 20 Buddy Buddy Poffins I have on my TCGPlayer inventory. Looking forward to when the colosseum's bulk form goes live again, I have two boxes of 7K bulk to send :)
Do you happen to have the sizes of smaller boxes you use for cards in the range where it's too many to fit into a bubble mailer? I'm thinking about selling smaller bulk lots and have been trying to figure out a box size that would be good for the 300-600 card range. I'm not sure how many cards could safely be mailed in a bubble mailer, as I would be afraid of the different team bags of cards would move around a lot in the bubble mailer, thus damaging them. I have heard of people using BCW boxes, but would you just slap a shipping label on the box and call it good? Or do people typically put that into a bubble mailer so it's at least concealed and not seen as a big box of cards? The main reason I'm trying to not use BCW anymore is because I've been burned by them after spending nearly $400 in supplies. The quality of their boxes are also not as good as I thought they would be. They had also refused to take a coupon code after I placed my order for a discount. I've been watching your videos for a few months now and have gone back to watch some of your older content as well. I'm not sure if you ever listed all of the shipping supplies you use like the team/poly bags, various box sizes and brands and any other must have shipping supply products. I'm just not sure if you have ever gone in detail with all of the products you use.
With tcgp raising its shipping cost selling bulk penny cards has been relatively easy and way more profitable mai Lu with those buyers that only purchase 1-20 cards. Biggest cost is the stamp. Only issue I’ve personally found is when buyers buy 50-100 really cheap cards that only total to $5 in revenue, and even then it typically just winds up break even when needing to pay for tracked shipping to get all of them shipped.
same. just had a buyer buy 100 cards (64 of which were Worker lol) that added up to around $5 and even doing 1st class large flat envelope it was $3.30 to ship because it weighed 9oz. can't figure out how to make transactions like that work for me. it works fine like you said when up to 15-20 cards, but these large orders of cheap cards are a lot of work for no profit.
@@kevinbohrer274you can do stacks of 16 cards side by side in team bags inside a plain white envelope. One top loader per bag. Should only need 2-3 stamps.
The problem is that listing all your bulk cards at 2-4c each and tons of buyers will actually just order a single card and burn your money. I need to sell something over 22c to even break even. And then its only cents of profit. And there's a break even point where youd have to ship a bunch of cards in a bubble mailer which costs like $4 which again kills your profit. Imagine getting an order for 165 bulk cards and profiting 13c
Just recently sold my Bulk to a small company here in germany that lets you pick out products in return :) you get more out of selling them elsewhere but it's very easy to do it that way so next time I'll do it again!
Cards are rotated out of the tcg format every year. This upcoming will be the see the end of the last SW/SH cards and with it, any cards with yellow borders (aside from reprinted trainers) will be phased out of standard format
Probably yeah. There’s a lot of decks that make use of it. Definitely don’t sleep on secret trainers because they can go crazy depending on changes to GLC and standard
Not sure why reverses aren’t in more demand. A lot of people want them for master sets. I have all mine sleeved and organized but no takers on eBay at .30 each. And I have thousands(?) of code cards. What to do with them??
Maybe people aren’t seeing them. 30 cents is a good price or people aren’t into masters sets but they for sure want to do 151 master set. I know those be selling. . For code cards maybe throw one or two in for free when making a sale. Or I guess donate em or see how much your local game store will give you. Maybe sell on eBay like 500 for $10 or something, idk what they be worth maybe like 10 cents a piece,
@Hephaestus_God I agree the rate isn't great but at best, online buyers might give an extra 1 or 2 cents over what I get locally. Then you have to pay a large shipping fee due to the weight, so it is kind of a pick your poison situation with bulk anymore.
The best way to get rid of bulk is making a bundle of maybe 20-30 cards with about 5 othose is a reverse holo or holo. then handing them out at trick or treat, or handing them out randomly to children on the street, orgiving to schools. This way you MIGHT spark their interest, keeping the Hobby alive.
I will never understand people who don't sort as they open. Common, common, common, common down into one pile. Uncommon, uncommon, uncommon, down into their own pile. Reverse holos down into their own pile. Rares down into their own pile.
Could you donate unwanted bundles or bulk to schools or libraries and get a tax write-off? This will definitely make up for those unnecessary bundle purchases from distributors
I don't know if you could, but keep in mind it is a tax deduction, so you wouldn't be able to use the standard deduction that most people use. With how high the standard deduction is, you'd have to donate a ton of bulk to schools and libraries before you get close to it

thanks Danny!
No, no, thank you for saving me 20+ minutes.😊
I donate my bulk to my daughters school. The kids like to build decks during pokemon club or at the afterschool program.
Exactly! I do the same. Such a rewarding way to use bulk or unused cards! 😁
great job!
I do the same but I make all the kids give me their lunch money first.
@@katielowen Absolute chad!😂
How did you go about it. What about people like me my kid is not in school.

this is great info, would be nice for when each set drops, if there are cards like this to look out for to do a little video on that!
I recently traded my bulk and some cards at my local lgs for a Paldea evolved booster box. They had a special going on where they matched 100% value off TCG player since they had a lot of empty cases to fill up at the store.
Man, I wish our lgs would do this!
Well dang, my LGS' suck. They're too good for even some of my slightly higher end cards. I just recycle all my unwanted bulk. Don't have the space to be storing tons of cards I don't care about.

just looked in my paradox rift boxes.. 27 earthen vessels 😅

Great information bro. I make mini tins of bulk and some of the cheaper ex and v and vstar cards for the local children hospital.
My strat that I have been doing when I evaluate sets is out on the internet on a larger scale! GJ
As a collector, this was so helpful. Thanks man.
this is the main reason i don't open packs way to much bulk cards
I have like 1.5k-2k reverse holos, 1k holo, and like 8k non holo bulk. All near mint
idk what to do with it and no local game stores are buying... about 400 of the reverses are pokemon 151 as well. Was trying to find the best way to liquidate it
I keep the holos and reverse holos so I can trade with other collectors trying to make a master set.
same, I keep all trainers and holos/reverses and bulk out all the rest
I do one normal, one reverse, one holo, and one of each special print (like cosmos holo? if I get them for each card if I happen to get them. So that there’s a hard limit on what I have of each card.

Lol. Sorting bulk is my favorite part of this hobby. 🤓
Bulk is one of those things you can sell if you put a little work into it. Just dont expect a lot, but something back is better than nothing.
I have a hard time selling hits as it is so I'll stick to sending em to you, Danny 😉
Pretty sure you traded me a booster box of evolving skies for 3000 commons/uncommons once or twice. Crazy to think about that now

I actually need more bulk to make some crafts but, I have to wait till I open more packs 😂🙃
Gold info as always, I really need to start my tcg player seller journey
THANK YOU FOR MAKING SO GOOD VIDEOS MAN I AM HAPPY WITH YOUR CONTENT
Great advice Danny, thanks for the info.😊
Great info I had no idea about bulk. Is it crazy I buy bulk pokemon cards? I buy crazy good deals online.
i always buy 90% bulk from ebay to start sets either eng or japanese
6:20 I'd do that if I had more space. I just don't, so all my bulk is intermingled together.
Very helpful video Danny! Thanks a lot!
love these videos, those 1-3 dollar cards can really add up! Thanks
Awesome advice! I'll need to search through what I have now.

Legend Danny! I definitely needed this advice 😁✌️
Thanks for the Pokemon Go Pokestop card price. Already sold 6.
I got my bulk sorted by type and alphabetically... a bit old about my bulk
I can’t get my tcg player app to work on scanning my cards. Using a iPhone 13 Pro. Is there another way?

Don’t pay for tracked shipping then. You can send a usps untracked bubble mailer for $1.75
@@TrainerTrigs I’ll have to try that never used that method before. Typically if I have to use a bubble mailer I’ll just go with the tracked shipping.

Could you say the Name please?
If you build a tower out of Ghost Pokemon cards, does it become a Tower of Terror?
You said that pokemon cards with "yellow borders" will be cycled out in April? How do you know this and how often does this happen?
Cards are rotated out of the tcg format every year. This upcoming will be the see the end of the last SW/SH cards and with it, any cards with yellow borders (aside from reprinted trainers) will be phased out of standard format
I noticed the secret energy retrieval I have from Ancient Origins, exploded in price, is that due to competitive play as well?
Probably yeah. There’s a lot of decks that make use of it. Definitely don’t sleep on secret trainers because they can go crazy depending on changes to GLC and standard
@@maximummax29 thanks! I’m a collector, not a competitor so It’s great to get some insight on the other side of things
What app can I use to scan the codes into to sell ?
How do i find what bulk is competetive when i dont play?
when i sell singles online i just throw a few cards in there randomly
I love sending in my bulk submissions to recycle the card funds, even if it is not worth much

Have you seen my Charizard card sculpture?
I trade in bulk at my LCS. They give a $1 for a full ETB box of bulk. I rather get a cool $1 card than have bulk
Oof. I was wondering my cards werent selling… all my stuff was set to hidden. Oops. Thanks for the reminder.
How did you find that out? I haven’t sold a card in almost 2 weeks.
I pick all my bulk down to $0.25 and then sell everything else to a local show vendor for $0.01 per paper and $0.03 for H/RH
How do you know which cards are .25 or more? What’s the fast way of finding out for Pokemon?
You're kind of screwing yourself over on the H/RH at that price bro. But i get it, gotta get rid of them somehow.

So hard to find anyone buying bulk in my area. If I ship, might as well just throw em away.
put ur bulk in "mystery" boxes and make a lot of money
I throw em out 😂
