Oh man no kidding. I always asked my parents to keep buying me the books each year as the price went up or down. I remember being super disappointed by the price of a couple of Jose Canseco cards I had. lol
Some may look down on this but I use Beckett and I will usually take the "low" price as a good gauge for pricing. I use EBay for graded cards as an accurate price match. I have a large collection so poking on eBay for every card wastes a lot of time for me.
This is my issue. I have several 1/1 cards and printing plates. I have no real idea of their value. Closest I can get is comparing to an out of 10. Printing plates I have zero clue though.
Yeah, I'm having issues with that too. I have a 3/3 Earl Campbell that to the best of my knowledge hasn't been sold on Ebay. No idea what it's worth so I"ll probably end up holding it forever haha.
@@nathansmith8723 If you can't find the value of the card on eBay because it is rare, such as a 1/1, 3/3, etc this is a good problem to have. Basically, you set the price you want to get for it. Set the price high, see what action or traffic the card is creating (Views, watchers, offers etc.) List it for a decent amount of time 1-6 months if you're not in a hurry to sell. Or check how much the value of the same card that is serial#d /10 or /25, then price yours much more than those cards.
as a new collector i really appreciate you for posted this video. i dont plan on selling at this point, only buying, so these techniques are really gonna help me make sure that i dont overpay. thank you sir.
Hey brother I appreciate the feedback. I’m glad you appreciate the small details in put into the videos. They take a little more time to make but go a long way I think 👍
Hey Matt, any chance on a video of best place to sell cards? I'm new on Ebay 100 transactions and its so easy to get taken advantage of and robbed w the way they side w buyer always. I see all you guys making a fortune, but where are you selling? Where does a newbie sell and feel safe? Comc etc? Thanks
Hey my dad’s friend recently gave me given tons of sports cards I was wondering what I should do I am not really a collector so should I go threw them or just sell them bundled
Same, a guy gave me a huge box of baseball cards.... like 5000 and I have no clue what to do with them or how much they’re worth lol I don’t want to get taken advantage of if I bring them into a local shop and get lowballed because of my ignorance about the value 😭
I look at the Beckett price guide. I look at low and high value and go in between. I then go to eBay sold and look for 5 sold prices then average them out. Finally I take the Beckett value plus the eBay value I calculated, and divide it by 2. That is how I value my cards. Not sure if I should take shipping costs into account?
Hey, Matt. Well, I have to say, by watching your videos I learn something new in every one. All the times I looked through ebay I could have shortened my searches through this method. But, I miss the days of the Beckett Price Guide. It was so simple and you get the money for your cards, exactly what they're worth. I'm telling you, ebay has got the hobby ruined, in my opinion. But, who am I to say. I'm just one person. It's bad enough you pay a lot of money in some cases for boxes and the dollars aren't there from the start and the box isn't opened yet! I'm thinking I need to stop buying boxes and do what a lot of others are doing and just buy the cards I want. That's probably the safest bet. Anyway, that's my two cents worth on it. Have a good one., Matt.
lol, we have to agree to disagree on the Beckett days. I do not miss them. I think using eBay is so much more accurate (and free). Plus, having all the old Becketts stored up in my closet was a dang nuisance. But, we all collect differently and do everything our own way. Luckily in this hobby, there is no right or wrong way to collect. Which is honestly what makes it so fun. Seeing how other guys do everything is always entertaining to me. Do they even print Becketts anymore? 😂 Thanks for the feedback and comment Rod! Glad you made it out of that snowstorm alive!
@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR Alive but not well. We've had a dozen lots of snow since then. It seems I'm shovelling everyday. I'm so sore. I have a job to lift a fork to my mouth.
Hey. Just wanted to thank you for the amazing videos that you make and for helping me learn more about the hobby. I am starting to get into the hobby as a 15 year old with not much knowledge about it. I am collecting mainly basketball cards and I am hoping I will stick to collecting for awhile as I really enjoy it.
Wow, thanks for the feedback Eli! I'm glad I can help you on your journey into the hobby! There is a ton of information to learn and can seem daunting but after some practice and research it all becomes more clear. Basketball cards are some of my favorite cards to collect both newer and older players!
@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR Thanks for the reply! I actually started to collect basketball cards as a way to keep in touch with the sport, because I got injured and wasnt able to play any basketball or even watch the games. But ya, It is pretty daunting at first but the more and more I learn about collecting it really seems to lighten up per se. 😅 I've really tried to focus my collecting to the 2000's and the early 2010's, as it is pretty affordable and has great sets. The three main players I want to have a pc in is Allen Iverson, Kemba Walker, and Cj Mccollum. All three are amazing scorers and just super fun to watch 😌.
@@CalebCutler Hey there! I was a bit confused when I saw I had a reply, as I don't comment much, in fact, I totally forgot I made this comment. Time flies! Anyways, thanks for asking. My collection has grown quite a bit since then, as I was able to obtain most of it before covid and the surge of new collectors, but after that surge, I grinded to a halt in terms of collecting. It's just too darn expensive nowadays. Plus I'm at that age now where I've got to conserve the little money I have for college. Thanks again for bringing me back here, and bringing back some memories.
I have a rookie Mario lemieux opechee hockey card that's in perfect condition but im a little scared to send away for grading....sure would love to know the rating of that card...😊
what happens if you can't find the specific card using the sold items listings filter? can it still be useful to search it up on ebay without pressing any more filters? I am new to this and I have no idea what I'm doing but so far your video is helping me. 😅😊😊
Blessings to you brother for sharing this information. Been looking at other collectors and investors and they never shared this information. Thanks for sharing
Ebay is so confusing to me. The same card can go for $250 but also $20. I don't understand it. I know it depends on if it's graded in condition, but some of them look exactly the same and go for $100 more
Hey man, i really hope you see this. Do you have any thoughts on investing in UFC cards. the sport is only going to continue to grow and the fighters that are stars now are going to be the most valuable legends in 20-30 years, since these cards really just started getting made. There are no 1990 UFC cards lol. So i figure by 2040, the 2015-2020 UFC cards will be super valuable because they will be the oldest cards. Your thoughts?
i'm kinda skimming here, but found 2 of these bonds cards listed (highest price obv) selling/listed at 20k and had watchers....so are people just trying to take advantage of people not willing to do any research? (like, if the card can be purchased for a buck, how is it 20k on someone elses listing?) did you make a video on how to resell for higher profits?
So I have a card and I can't seem to find any information on it as an individual card. It's the 2017 Illumination panini Prizm football autographed dak prescott number six card. Every search I've done has only shown me record on four other players and not Dak Prescott. I'm stuck .Can you help me out. I've tried direct to Panini and no match in data base. Smdh.
I have a Mahomes rookie worth about 400-500 mint. What can i expect the value to be if a tiny micro dent is in the middle of it barely noticeable unless you inspect it closely. how much can a micro ding reduce the value? thanks.
I know a few sellers that use ebay to find card values but I still use the beckett website. Of course there is a price for a subscription on the site but once in, you'll find it's so much easier than ebay searches.
Just because Beckett says a card is valued doesn’t mean people are paying that price. eBay is the only way to get accurate prices and see what people are actually paying for the card.
Thanks for the info Matt very helpful. I was just wondering, wouldn't it be easier to get a Beckett and search directly for the price or another reputable price guide (i.e. PSA website)? I would have though that those price guides would be more accurate and reliable than what people would sell for on eBay (but obv I don't have as much experience). Also, what are your thoughts on the free price guides on the internet - are any reliable? thx again for the vid and tips!
The prices are fluctuating every week almost. It’s tough to find a set price for a card due to supply and demand, auction prices realized, hype, etc. This applies to vintage and modern cards. If you want to know what people are willing to pay for a card you have to look at what recent cards have sold for. Sometimes the recent sales are too low and sometimes too high. In short, the market doesn’t go by price guides anymore Bc the market is so unpredictable.
@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR True, that makes sense thanks. I was just looking for an easier way to look up a large quantity of cards that are already organized by set but I guess price guides wouldn't be the best option. Maybe I can use these guides just as an indication of what cards in sets are actually worth looking up in eBay etc. (as opposed to each individual one). Unless there is a more efficient method out there. Cheers and thanks again
Love all the videos keep up the great work!!! Maybe in a future video show how you store and organize all your stuff...seems like I change my mind on a monthly basis on how to keep mine organized cause my amount changes weekly lol
Thanks for the feedback! I have the same issues you have. My stuff is always getting moved around and it's a pain to store lol, especially if you're limited to space like I am. I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to organize it better. I'll post once I figure that puzzle out 👍
I collect mainly hockey hall of famers . My objective is to collect at least one rc and one memorablia card of each enshrined player. I consider my collection pretty nice so far. Your video was very helpfull if ever i decide to sell.
Hey it's Joe Hamilton I have a new phone and a different TH-cam account haha.. Nicely done like always.. but this 1 time Im actually ahead ofya...but you pointed a couple tips that will be very useful. I just can't express how much I appreciate you sharing your personal knowledge that anyone on Earth who is starting to collect can listen and learn on the basics and very important steps to take to move forward and accomplishing the goals that at 1 point myself thought was impossible and almost gave up! I have used your information to do and understand things I been wanting to know and do. Now that I applied your tips into my card collection it has not only more organized and time efficient but also it's fun not frustrating. I just want to thank you my brother I really appreciate your time and help. I'm just about done with my first 100 baseball and basketball PSA cantitdates🥇 I invested in a Head lamp with LED and black light to magnify and make the appropriate judgement before adding to my PSA pile. As I'm doing this I keep a manifest for each and everyone of my cards that I think I determine PSA cantitdates even though I won't be adding them to the list that I personally am gunna send out to PSA. I sleeve # then store and now if someone is looking for a specific card or player. I can find it easily without no 3 hour search. PSA should give you a free lifetime membership seriously! I'm actually going to print a letter of acknowledgement that if not for you sharing your knowledge + advertising and promoting their company in high regards.. me and 2 other friends wouldn't be customers of their services. I'm going to inbox you the link to my eBay account and if the cards aren'tgraded l definitely will attach my opinion to the Lott if I believe it's worthy of grading. Appreciate everything 🏆🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
PSA now offers a drop down on their site that says AUCTION PRICES. I type in the card and it shows the most recent sale value of that card, and an average of its worth based on ebay purchases.
Feb 11th 2020, came across your channel, nide channel very organized in the info. I am not a value chaser, but I am a history collector and I am just starting to get my cards psa graded.
First timer getting my feet wet. I wanna submit some cards to psa but I have a question. Card must have a declared value of 499 or less? Is that a beckett price? Is that a graded price? Is that an ebay price?
i feel at times its best to run auctions and take a risk on a 5 to 7 day because you will get something most like if its a 99 cent start. I am usually chasing another card with the money and if I wait to long with buy it now a lot of times that card gets more expensive by the week sometimes by the day,
Yep, depending on the card, sometimes it is worth it to run an auction. If no one is searching for your card and one guy happens to come across it and bids, then he will more than likely win it at whatever starting price you put. It's all a gamble.
pulled a wander franko rookie card from select its a premier level silver that is blue on top and purple/pink on bottom with like smoke clouds in the color.. Anyone have ideas on what it is. It's not a regular blue premier it's like 3 colors and not numbered. Is it a rare or case hit
a few of my golden ones, Nolan ryan king of kings....jose uribe fleer....bo jackson King of kings... basically the whole king of kings set...a few others that's on ice till the market grows😉
@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR I was just asking in general. I have so many cards I have to sell it would be almost impossible to put them all up. I have already sorted out the HOF's and semi-star cards. I have not attended shows for years. Was thinking that may be just another option. Thanks for your reply.
Awesome! I recently was handed down 300 signed cards by Jacoby Brissett. Most are 1/1 with some being the black print plates. A bunch of signed prizms as well.
Go to ebay and find what similar cards have sold for, as long as there is a market for them, that's the best way. If a card doesn't get listed often, it gets more complex. Book value rarely represents what people will buy and sell at. If there is a wide range, look at the average and the most common sale price (offer the low end of the range when buying and ask the high end, but be willing to buy/sell at the average or the most common sale price.) Previous sales can be found under "advanced" when you click the 'sold listings' button.
I just found a bunch of sealed boxes of baseball cards. Some 2015 Bowman and Tops some. 2019 Tops a bunch of 2020 tops a lot in packs, but fat packs I have like 8 boxes in total and I remembered I use to like Chipper Jones and my friends mom made me a collection of all his cards slot of Mike Piaza and some Ken Griffey Jr. I have a value of 1441 in raw cards don't know how much if I sent through PSA but I will be going through a third party since it's cheaper . I use to collect basketball when I was little and I had a pretty bad ass collection buy gave it up to my family friend since we grew up collecting them together.
Just throwing this out there as extra info: Once the 90s started and into the 00s, many new year's cards came out the previous year (just like automobiles) Meaning, there are 2002 Pujols cards with 2001 copyright dates. To combat this, add one year onto the last year of player stars on the card back. So, a 2002 Stadium Club Pujols card has a 2001 copyright date BUT his stats end at 2001.
Yes, sir! That's part of the patience lol. Newbies are definitely going to have to figure a lot of this stuff out for themselves. I remember when I was looking back and forth on eBay and Beckett guides trying to figure out the correct years. Seems like an eternity ago!
Cardboard Empire This helps for sure but the thing is if someone doesn’t put that in the description then it won’t show up.. so with that being said obviously you can’t get them all in there..

Always great stuff. I am looking for the video where you show us how to go onto PSA website to check and see how many cards were sent in for a player and what they graded at. I have been on the PSA web site and can't find that right link to click on. So fustrating.....grrrrrrrrrrr.

Trust me... this video is not helpful.
I just bought about 15,000 baseball and basket ball cards from the years 1970-1990 from a dude for $40 that he had in his basement. Wish me luck!
Wow. Goes to show that guy does not care about money. Doing the math not even one of those cards were worth 1 cent he sold you for.
Basically he should of charged you at least $15,000 since each card would at least be valued for $1.
I buy half off your hands for 20 lol
My dad passed last year. Just got all his 1970-99 cards.. I’d say a million.. thousands and thousands at least. This is gonna be a process
You will easily get $40 value out of that.

The prices are fluctuating every week almost. It’s tough to find a set price for a card due to supply and demand, auction prices realized, hype, etc. This applies to vintage and modern cards. If you want to know what people are willing to pay for a card you have to look at what recent cards have sold for. Sometimes the recent sales are too low and sometimes too high. In short, the market doesn’t go by price guides anymore Bc the market is so unpredictable.
@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR True, that makes sense thanks. I was just looking for an easier way to look up a large quantity of cards that are already organized by set but I guess price guides wouldn't be the best option. Maybe I can use these guides just as an indication of what cards in sets are actually worth looking up in eBay etc. (as opposed to each individual one). Unless there is a more efficient method out there. Cheers and thanks again
How do you find the value of numbered cards? Like a 1/1
Love all the videos keep up the great work!!! Maybe in a future video show how you store and organize all your stuff...seems like I change my mind on a monthly basis on how to keep mine organized cause my amount changes weekly lol
Thanks for the feedback! I have the same issues you have. My stuff is always getting moved around and it's a pain to store lol, especially if you're limited to space like I am. I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to organize it better. I'll post once I figure that puzzle out 👍
I collect mainly hockey hall of famers . My objective is to collect at least one rc and one memorablia card of each enshrined player. I consider my collection pretty nice so far. Your video was very helpfull if ever i decide to sell.
How much are Houston Oilers cards I have like 100 cards ?
Hey it's Joe Hamilton I have a new phone and a different TH-cam account haha.. Nicely done like always.. but this 1 time Im actually ahead ofya...but you pointed a couple tips that will be very useful. I just can't express how much I appreciate you sharing your personal knowledge that anyone on Earth who is starting to collect can listen and learn on the basics and very important steps to take to move forward and accomplishing the goals that at 1 point myself thought was impossible and almost gave up! I have used your information to do and understand things I been wanting to know and do. Now that I applied your tips into my card collection it has not only more organized and time efficient but also it's fun not frustrating. I just want to thank you my brother I really appreciate your time and help. I'm just about done with my first 100 baseball and basketball PSA cantitdates🥇 I invested in a Head lamp with LED and black light to magnify and make the appropriate judgement before adding to my PSA pile. As I'm doing this I keep a manifest for each and everyone of my cards that I think I determine PSA cantitdates even though I won't be adding them to the list that I personally am gunna send out to PSA. I sleeve # then store and now if someone is looking for a specific card or player. I can find it easily without no 3 hour search. PSA should give you a free lifetime membership seriously! I'm actually going to print a letter of acknowledgement that if not for you sharing your knowledge + advertising and promoting their company in high regards.. me and 2 other friends wouldn't be customers of their services. I'm going to inbox you the link to my eBay account and if the cards aren'tgraded l definitely will attach my opinion to the Lott if I believe it's worthy of grading. Appreciate everything 🏆🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
Hi, is the optic 19/20 blaster worth anything? Thanks.
Eh, not really. I would buy the card not the box.
PSA now offers a drop down on their site that says AUCTION PRICES. I type in the card and it shows the most recent sale value of that card, and an average of its worth based on ebay purchases.
Feb 11th 2020, came across your channel, nide channel very organized in the info. I am not a value chaser, but I am a history collector and I am just starting to get my cards psa graded.
Awesome man! Thanks for the feedback. Good luck the submission. Let me know how it goes. 👍
You’d probably lose money trying to sell most low-end cards online. Is there somewhere in-person or a card shop to sell cards?
I know you said you won't help find the values for anybody , but can you imagine if you did?
Great Video
Thank you for putting this video together. It was really informative. Keep up the great Youtubing.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR Great insight should always be appreciated.
I appreciate you sharing this with us. This has helped me soo much!!
Glad it was helpful!
1 of the TOP most helpful videos for sports cards!! Hands down 👍
I don’t have that advanced button. I’m using my phone, do I have to do it on a PC?
Long Story,Short. Thank you 💗
is there a website to insert the information into and it will tell you the estimated cost?
First timer getting my feet wet. I wanna submit some cards to psa but I have a question. Card must have a declared value of 499 or less? Is that a beckett price? Is that a graded price? Is that an ebay price?
Isn't there a website that shows a chart over time of the value of a card? Like you'd see for Apple Stock. Thx for your content!!
What are your thoughts on StockX getting into the card game
Honestly, I haven’t really looked into them that much. I saw they were “flipping” shoes and bounced.
I´m learning so much with your videos. Thanks very much.
i feel at times its best to run auctions and take a risk on a 5 to 7 day because you will get something most like if its a 99 cent start. I am usually chasing another card with the money and if I wait to long with buy it now a lot of times that card gets more expensive by the week sometimes by the day,
Yep, depending on the card, sometimes it is worth it to run an auction. If no one is searching for your card and one guy happens to come across it and bids, then he will more than likely win it at whatever starting price you put. It's all a gamble.
pulled a wander franko rookie card from select its a premier level silver that is blue on top and purple/pink on bottom with like smoke clouds in the color.. Anyone have ideas on what it is. It's not a regular blue premier it's like 3 colors and not numbered. Is it a rare or case hit
Baseball cards have baseballcardpedia for checklists. I couldn't find one for football or basketball that was similar. Any ideas?
a few of my golden ones, Nolan ryan king of kings....jose uribe fleer....bo jackson King of kings... basically the whole king of kings set...a few others that's on ice till the market grows😉
What do you use to keep track of the prices of all your cards as i have roughly 30,000
You may have answered this but what is the 2nd or 3rd option if you do not find your cards selling on ebay? Does that mean my my cards are useless?
If they are listed but not selling then that could mean all sorts of things. What cards are you looking at?
@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR I was just asking in general. I have so many cards I have to sell it would be almost impossible to put them all up. I have already sorted out the HOF's and semi-star cards. I have not attended shows for years. Was thinking that may be just another option. Thanks for your reply.
I was willed a card collection, I am looking for a buyer in the southeast. Suggestions?
Hey buddy, could you make a quick video on all the fees & taxes involved in buying & selling. Also, how do u think it has & will affect the hobby ✌🏽
Awesome! I recently was handed down 300 signed cards by Jacoby Brissett. Most are 1/1 with some being the black print plates. A bunch of signed prizms as well.
I use the psa auction prices and eBay sold history. I don't think bgs has a auction history, if they do it might be under paid membership.
Nope, they don't. PSA has an amazing tool on their website to help figuring out values 👍
Go to ebay and find what similar cards have sold for, as long as there is a market for them, that's the best way. If a card doesn't get listed often, it gets more complex. Book value rarely represents what people will buy and sell at. If there is a wide range, look at the average and the most common sale price (offer the low end of the range when buying and ask the high end, but be willing to buy/sell at the average or the most common sale price.) Previous sales can be found under "advanced" when you click the 'sold listings' button.
His method was similar to min, I've been using the - sign and had to do each word; thanks for the () tip.
Yup! Thanks for the insight, Bob!
I just found a bunch of sealed boxes of baseball cards. Some 2015 Bowman and Tops some. 2019 Tops a bunch of 2020 tops a lot in packs, but fat packs I have like 8 boxes in total and I remembered I use to like Chipper Jones and my friends mom made me a collection of all his cards slot of Mike Piaza and some Ken Griffey Jr. I have a value of 1441 in raw cards don't know how much if I sent through PSA but I will be going through a third party since it's cheaper . I use to collect basketball when I was little and I had a pretty bad ass collection buy gave it up to my family friend since we grew up collecting them together.
I have this rare Aaron home rookie absolute football 1/25 can’t find any other cards like it
Thanks! I appreciate all the information you provide.
Thanks for the feedback, Robert!
I have a few Peyton manning cards that nobody is selling, and there are no photos of them online. How do I find out the price?
Just throwing this out there as extra info:
Once the 90s started and into the 00s, many new year's cards came out the previous year (just like automobiles)
Meaning, there are 2002 Pujols cards with 2001 copyright dates.
To combat this, add one year onto the last year of player stars on the card back.
So, a 2002 Stadium Club Pujols card has a 2001 copyright date BUT his stats end at 2001.
Yes, sir! That's part of the patience lol. Newbies are definitely going to have to figure a lot of this stuff out for themselves. I remember when I was looking back and forth on eBay and Beckett guides trying to figure out the correct years. Seems like an eternity ago!
Just search by card number.
Cardboard Empire This helps for sure but the thing is if someone doesn’t put that in the description then it won’t show up.. so with that being said obviously you can’t get them all in there..
It does not work on iPhone
I’m not trying to get you to do my work for me but I have a skybox 97 complete piston set and it has shaq Jordan Kobe and grant hill on the outside … please help if you can
It’s in the package
Congrats. Jeff Goldblum is advertising on your channel. You've made it.
Because he's the fly....
i got this golden zach ertz signed rookie press pass card and cant find the price any help?
What if you cant find the card on ebay, like this one: Michael Jordan flair showcase legacy collection 96-97 row 1. numbered. /150. how do you check it?
look it up in a regular search engine and see if there’s any results on other websites
Thank you so much for the help and I am getting back to this hobby
Extremely valuable information and video thank you so much
Thanks for the video Matt
Really helpful! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Always great stuff. I am looking for the video where you show us how to go onto PSA website to check and see how many cards were sent in for a player and what they graded at. I have been on the PSA web site and can't find that right link to click on. So fustrating.....grrrrrrrrrrr.
Found it!!!
👍🏻
