    Good luck… I recently had my first show as a dealer after 30+ years of collecting. Went well… but yes it is a lot of work to get ready for the show.

    Remember, Stay firm on your price. Do not engage in haggling. But if you do haggle make sure you price your cards 20% over comp. That way people will think they are getting a good deal. It’s all about perception. You’re gonna crush it!!

      I price every card FIRM and right on market - keeps it simple.. some like it some hate it.. but I'm busy so games are not my thing.,.. it does work many buyers come back 15mins later like "your rice is right"... and I'm like I know haha

    the table/case should have some organized thought around telling a story; a confusing case/table wrecks peoples' brains, increases cognitive overhead, and they probably just move on instead of scanning/staying more focused on the cards; second thought, experiment/change based on visual cues and questions; it's a physical UI design

    • @TheSportsCardDad
      @TheSportsCardDad  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks Jay, is it better to put the same ‘character’ or player cards together? Or mix it up?

    Stranger Things collectors felt a disturbance in the force as one of the largest collections of Stranger Things cards is being dismantled for big bucks at Culture Collision. This solidifies Bob Boozle as greatest Stranger Things collector.

    I’ve set up at a few. My biggest thing I can recommend is to be different. So many modern card tables and it’s nice to have something different.

    It's possible to collect sharp cornered vintage cards and not fearing that it's trimmed. You just have to learn how to spot the obvious signs of trimming, like noticing "bat-ear" edges, etc. In other words, you can collect sharp cornered vintage cards with confidence if you educate yourself

    Just overprice everything above comps like most dealers. And be prepared for kids and people to comp you to death bc everyone is a dealer at shows no matter if they stand behind a table or in front of if. But In all seriousness good luck. Make sure you have value boxes. Those are always the most popular at the huge shows

    When I sold the Wolverine auto to you I made a lateral move, I used the funds to buy some vintage Arthur Adams original art of Wolverine & Spider-Man.

    Sell at 169% comps, buy at 69% comps, make sure you vlog every transaction and complete it with a catch phrase, and most importantly pump KD cards

    I often hear the topic of curating or consolidating as a major topic of conversation. Since the card cycle has been coming down off highs, collector behavior has reacted. I believe the driving force behind the consolidating behavior is fear or greed. What isn't talked about very much is WHICH cards we should be seeking to consolidate into and WHY that is... I wish there was more conversation or enlightenment on "why" do it. Personally, I've been very disciplined in seeking collections to buy that come from lifetime collectors as selling cards help fund my collecting. However, most of my buying is from older collectors who have what I compare to aged wine in sports cards. There's a history of the "why" I spend my money on these types of collections. Generally speaking I get to see cards that don't see the light of day from a card show....I think to myself, if this old time collector kept this item in the collection for many decades, I should also pay attention to their why. I guess what I'm saying is it's wise to consider a bit of what our elder collectors say and have done that we can learn from so we know what is wise to consolidate into.
