I've got a competitive deck and a collection, but I don't like having bulk around. That said, I love it that there's flippers. I'll buy a couple packs per set for fun but then just buy the one's I want. Not the most romantic process, but sometimes pull rates are unreal.
I think your definition of "Flipping" is basically grading rare cards and then selling which I feel is fair because you are providing a service of grading cards for people who may not want to go through the process. If someone is buying a slab just expect a slight mark up, it takes time and money to get those cards graded. Cool Video Luke I support you!
Classic TCG player, they have cheap prices to match the card quality. I've done this method successfully using ebay purchases of Charizard promos, because you can clearly see what quality you're getting when you have multiple pictures to look at before-hand.
@@LegendofLuke yes I'm sorry you got unlucky on your ebay purchase, but like you said at least you get to return it. PSA hands out 10's like candy, but their prices have been wild since 2020. Goodluck!
When I think flipping Pokemon cards, I think more of going through garage sales and small card shops' bulk or cheap binders. Bought a LOT of Astral Radiance Trainer Gallery cards out of a $1 binder at a Top Cut store, and some base set item cards and 8 scoop up nets out of a 25 cent bulk box at a local video game store.
If you're grading with PSA centering doesn't matter as much as you think it does. You can go to 60/40, and I measured that card @7:04 and it's really close, I think it's actually 61/39 or 62/38 though. It'd still having a centering grade of a 9, and they may let it slide because it's so close. If the rest of your subgrades are perfect, it's probably still a 10. This doesn't work with Beckett though. They have no front centering leniency. Beckett requires 50/50 on the front of the card, and 60/40 on the back! I'm pretty sure you can go all the way to 70/30 on the back of a PSA card! Maybe just 65/35, I can't remember tbh. But I do know PSA allows 60/40 on the front.
great logic. Appreciate this video. It is timely and something i'm considering with some of my extras that i'm not attached to, in order to fund more purchases.
I get Mercari full art trainers and full art cards for 1-2 dollars grade them for 20 dollars each and sell for 7-10s for 39.99 and 5$ shipping that's 12 dollar cost for a 28$ profit ebay fee is around 8, and taxes is around 6. So it's 14 dollars per card and 3-6 months of time. I recommend starting with 500$ focus on Pikachu Rayquaza Charizard and mew/evie evolutions . Or avoid all of that and buy already graded slabs and relist them for thinner margins but expand to selling large quantities. Let someone else do all the heavy lifting
Psa is the way to go to make money. A lot of people would prefer psa or Beckett over cgc! Not a lot of people like cgc slabbed cards. But that’s your choice. I wouldn’t bug a cgc slab. I’d rather slab my own up
I personally find nothing wrong with a COLLECTOR trying to make some money to add to their collection or just profit on something they have no interest in. I think the problem is with the scalpers and people who have no interest in the hobby whatsoever and are only after a dollar amount.
I do sell some stuff but it is mostly to thin out my collection or they are extras. Then I buy my Pokémon cards with that lol. Only been collecting since just before Brilliant Stars came out.
Nvm I didn't listen to the whole video lol sorry but I'm going to be getting together my 10 best/favorite cards meaning out of my favorites pick the best ones but I'm going to go with psa because they're going straight in my collection unless I do more of 1 specific card! God bless brother!🙏
It also takes over a year for psa right now and it's like 150 bucks per so if you don't get the ten, you could be leaking money plus inflation since it's tied up for more than a year. Unpredictable market too. I've heard some people waiting for two years now
Finish the song 🎵 🙌 bum bum bum bum bum bao if you like Pina Calada and getting caught in the rain 🌧 and if you not into yoga 🎶 😌 or if you had half a brain if you like making... 🦫
I've debated sending some cards in to grade myself! Although I wanted to ask the community...what is the general consensus about AGS? I think they have a cool concept, just not widely known yet..
@0:13 ok... why not? profit is profit. nothing illegal about that. if you say it's "wrong," you're just imposing your subjective, fluctuating, emotionally based standard of morality on me.

Yeah I’m definitely going this route next time 👍🏽

@@GlassEater420 yeah as soon as they start retuning cards faster, I’ll go with PSA for flipping.

I've also seen people find great stuff at garage sales, especially Diamond/Pearl era. I've found Stormfront and championship promo cards once
Would be awesome to watch some garage sale videos on this channel, but I imagine finding pokemon cards is not the easiest task

Why in this world are people dumb enough to pay 200$ for a 5$ card within a cheap PSA china case with a grading that is not even close to relatable...
That number probably is a bit irrational, however I do understand why people pay a premium for condition-rarity.
When I did finish it I realized that alot of people get too touchy when you try to "flip" cards
Horrible on the back for centering because whoever ran the printing press that day didnt back it up square.
great logic. Appreciate this video. It is timely and something i'm considering with some of my extras that i'm not attached to, in order to fund more purchases.
I found what I was looking for just by looking through the channel this is awesome
Awesome! Glad to hear!

centering isn’t everything. i’m sure a few of those eevees you said were off center can still get a 10 as long as they have no whitening

You suggested that buying sonething for more than you can sell it for is not a play. Yea. So why settle for less by not using PSA?
I do sell some stuff but it is mostly to thin out my collection or they are extras. Then I buy my Pokémon cards with that lol. Only been collecting since just before Brilliant Stars came out.
What I do in my country is that I sell bulk to parents through Facebook and make a good amount of cash to buy singles I want for my collection
Where do you get the bulk cards from. I want to do this. I am from California USA
I honestly think if your trying to flip the cards go with psa
Nvm I didn't listen to the whole video lol sorry but I'm going to be getting together my 10 best/favorite cards meaning out of my favorites pick the best ones but I'm going to go with psa because they're going straight in my collection unless I do more of 1 specific card! God bless brother!🙏
Just buy cgc 10 for under market, cut it out the slab then get it graded by psa ? Wouldn't a psa 10 go for more than a cgc 10 ? Just a thought 🤷🏿♂️
True. That would be another strategy. I just don’t have the funds to make that play right now.

@@unlimitedpubes exactly 💯
@@unlimitedpubes those are outdated prices and delivery times. go to the PSA site.
@@unlimitedpubes my economy sub came back in under 3 and a half weeks
I bought all 9 a UK website had for £5.95 and they're about £12 now, so that's a big win for me
What was the website?

I really like your channel, please turn off the stabilisation on your camera or lens. It makes it hard to watch
Thanks. I mean, if I turn it off, it might be even harder to watch - like the Blair Witch Project…
What is flipping pokemon card?
Reselling for more than you purchased them for.
@@LegendofLuke oh. Thank you
I've debated sending some cards in to grade myself! Although I wanted to ask the community...what is the general consensus about AGS? I think they have a cool concept, just not widely known yet..
if its for personal use then go for it. but if its to make money then cgc bgs and psa
@0:13 ok... why not? profit is profit. nothing illegal about that. if you say it's "wrong," you're just imposing your subjective, fluctuating, emotionally based standard of morality on me.
so righteous... i like you so much. your judgmental attitude about that is so appealing to my self-righteous side.
Average Cgc fan 🦫 vs Average Beckett enjoyer🥶 vs every psa something 🚽
