I love collecting raw cards. Graded 10's are great but when I got back in a few years ago, 10's were expensive. Plus I'm a little OCD and my entire collection is raw.
10s are great but I’ve been stacking volume psa 9s over 20 years now. I have tried and tried to get people to see the light…psa 9s have been very underrated and undervalued and yes it will finally catch up once people understand that psa is a mint card…but the card people. It has gotten rudder to buy 9s cheap but when they are available I’m on them until the common collector starts pushing the numbers up to a non stacking zone.
I lean towards 9’s when possible for bigger cards….it says MINT! and the difference between a 9 & 10 could be because of whether some had a bad day or not…..
I think the direction I’m heading is getting 9’s and 8’s in the pricier Jordan hierarchy cards I choose to go after and sprinkling in some 10’s of some of my favorite more affordable ones- I like a nice balance 👍🏼
I love the Michael Jordan content. I set up at card show and I always look at any Jordan cards people are selling. I just picked up a 1993 beam team Jordan PSA 7 for 30.00. my buddy asked me why I bought a PSA 7. I told him a 7 is worth 120.00. or raw 120 also. I flipped it for 120.00 to a buy 5 minutes later. Live the Jordan psa7
I have the 97 Metal Universe Championship All Millennium Team in a PSA 8 that you sold on PWCC about 4 months ago. Got it for less than $100. The PSA 10 version of that card is at $1300 right now in their Weekly 136 Auction. To think that a PSA 10 copy of this card is almost 16x more is just crazy. This is just another reason why I’ve enjoyed a good life collecting 8s with Jordans. I’ve seen price differences between 8s and 10s be at least 200x as well.
"Have we gone too far from the 9 to the 10?" When u look at the cards side by side and can rarely tell the difference - even, in person - i would say, yeah, we've lost our fargin' minds.... great content, Cajun. Keep it up, brutha
I’m about to pickup a PSA 9 total O. Got a members only 93 stadium club MJ frequent flyers PSA 9 pop in the 40’s for only $30 bucks. I thought that was a steal.
I never buy any graded 10s no matter who it is. In my opinion, that's wasting money when you could just buy 9s and 8s or below. Lately I've been on a tare picking up raw mjs,pip,tha worm & kg with great success.
Interesting video, I took a quick look on eBay to see how easy it would be to get those cards in psa 8 at the last sold price and it wouldn’t be easy at all. It seems the comps are not reflective of what people are asking. I’m new to the hobby so maybe I’m missing something?
Say Cajun when you’re showing comps is there a way to see where that sale took place? If eBay isn’t your primary source for buying cards could you maybe rank say your top 5 or 10 places to buy Jordan cards closer to or better than comps. Greatly appreciate it, cheers CJ
From this exercise, do you think PSA 10s are overvalued, PSA 9s are undervalued, or is the variance where it should be? wonder if the variance is consistent with Tier 1-2-3?
Good question. 10s slightly over. 9s slightly under. And there is NO Consistency at all with the 10 vs 9 price variance in any tier. All depends on pop and card and gem % and who already owns the 10s
Is the arguably extreme disparity in value a reflection of the distribution of wealth in society? Vast sums of money at the top chasing a limited number of 10s would seem to create conditions for price increases in 10s that consistently outpace increases for 9s and 8s? I don’t know the answer, just thinking out loud.
It’s a reasonable theory for sure and to some extent I agree. But if you look closer MJ 9s and 8s are also spiking right now so it may just be all MJs but year this psa 10 premium is crazy right now.

As much as we talk about the high end, this should be discussed more often. Great video!
I like to collect the card, not the grade. Rare cards can be had at reasonable prices in PSA 7 and 8.
10s are great but I’ve been stacking volume psa 9s over 20 years now.

You hit an excellent Jordan card education spot. Practical info.
I appreciate that!
I have a combination of PSA 8s, PSA 9s, and Raw MJs. I'm happy
These 9s have got to run at some point. There’s only so many 10s out there that the gaze of collectors/investors must turn to the 9s if you want in.
Bingo

#facts can’t argue with any of what you are saying. Nines are fine!

Good call Rob!

Great stuff!!!
Great video!!!
I honestly would love to see the prices of many of these and other Jordan cards before you began the Heirarchy and afterwards.

Great video, I collect 10’s when I can and 9’sand 8’s when 10’s get out of reach ❤👍
Good idea!!
Nice video. Been thinking about this.

Love this move Dre!!!
PSA 8 Inside / Outside just sold on Fanatics Collect for $21.60
I sold every Jordan PSA 10 I submitted. ALL of them junk wax high print

You are definitely missing something. Like every single sales platform other than eBay. There are probably 15-20

The discrepancy is wild!!
slow down a little bit, brother. and remember to breathe every now and then😂
Hahaha. No way. Too much to say and too little time! 😂
Agree. Psa 9 the way to go... sone of those would regrade to a psa 10 as well.
