Haha. I do love free money!! Thanks for all the support this year Matt! Keep up the grind with your channel. You got the best thing going. I have a feeling you are going to pull a monster in 2024!
Great video! Good job making your money back. Dude post videos when you feel like it. We will be here watching. No need to stress about not making enough videos. Thankyou for the video teaching us how to take photos of our cards. I've been enjoying posting pics on Instagram.
Note to self: I NEED. TO START. SELLING CARDS! 😂 Awesome video Joe! Thanks for being transparent and honest about your journey in this beautiful hobby! You help me put things in perspective and your bits of advice here and there are gold. Whenever and whatever you post about, I’ll be there to watch, like and comment brother! Congrats on a successful hobby year!!! Glad the Marvin auto made it safe and thanks for the shoutout!! 🙏🏼
Love the breakdown on prices. Wish I could keep records this organized and accurately! And congrats on the TH-cam money that’s sick. That Jones moments is one that’s on my list. Such a great action shot. Adopting a couple of those 2024 goals as well, great advice! Good luck in 2024 my man, glad you came out on top in 2023.
Thanks Zac. The only thing that bothers me about that jon Jones card is that Topps used that photo a few times (Panini isn’t the only one that does that) hope you have a great New Year! Can’t wait to see some Box Alarm videos in 2024!!
Thanks dude!! I really enjoy your videos . You inspired me to try to buy a 2019 Chome blaster after watching your rip. Hopefully I can grab one this year!
@randypapi Thanks for the comment Randy! I don’t know if UFC cards will blow up this year but hopefully the market will improve. I think there’s a lot of smart people over at Topps and they have a lot of money for marking so…..🤞
I started collecting in 2023. It was a year of discovery of the hobby. I decided to invest in old topps cards. I will wait to see what they do in prices in 1 year. Probably not buying much in 2024.
Thanks for the comment man! I think you were smart to invest in old Topps cards. I think the rarity will always keep the value of those cards. Good luck. Hope you have a great 2024!
I’ve heard a lot of people say lately that this hobby has turned stressful and not fun. I’ve personally made a lot of changes in how I collect to put the fun back into it. I made a personal code that if I pull something great I will do something nice for a random collector. I try to balance out my Karma. Whatever you decide I’ll support you. I really loved this video and I learned a lot from it. I hope Topps will be a fun and stress free way to collect but we will see. Thanks for all the great videos this year! Happy New Years Everyone!!
Thanks for the comment Rick! I don’t think it’s surprising that people are getting a little burned out on the hobby. I feel like it’s been getting a little stale with Panini. Hopefully Topps will shake things up. I’m optimistic. I also think it’s good to self reflect and change things when you are getting frustrated with any hobby. I appreciate all your support this year! Here’s to a great 2024! 🥂
Great video as always Joe and nice to hear you are receiving $$$ from TH-cam (well deserved) I think we all forget that when you start it’s a big outlay, unless you then start to shift some of your PC it will always be expensive. I’m a big fan of your approach and would love 2024 to be a self funded hobby,🤞🏻 the values start to go up again!
Congrats on the money! anything in the green is always a win at the end of the day. The max from this year's select is definitely one of the better shots of him. Also just want to say I totally feel ya on the video creation part. I want it to be enjoyable, so I only make them when I want and on the topics I want. The channels you mentioned do a great job of content creation already. I'm just here to share my collection + pulls if I open a box.
Thanks for watching Complex! Yeah, these videos can be tough to do consistently and you have to remember why you started doing them in the first place. Thanks for the videos you make. I always enjoy them. Cheers man. Hope you have a great 2024!!
Dude never forget the reason we are here. We are here for THE LOVE. we're here to have fun. we are not here because we need yet another thing to grind on to try to make money and "win". Cannot wait to see the new stuff we get this year and the fun we can have. Thanks for 2023 and thanks for ripping some packs with me.
Really interesting video Joe, I think it's awesome that you came out on top with $300 extra in your pocket plus all the new awesome pc cards to go with it! That's definitley my goal also to have a self paid hobby! Going to be interesting in 2024 with Topps as you said, how they handle releases in pricing ect. I completely agree with your take on how the UFC card market has too many graded cards and not enough demand so that's why we see declining prices. Fun video mate
Congrats! I wish I could do this but being overseas grade and flip is not really an option and buying extra cards to sell alongside my PC cards ends up being an extra risk. I know that some people can net even or profit while building their PC, but I know I would suck at it
Awesome video bud. I wanted to do this and just lost my path. I know this was alot of work. Cheers to a better 2024. Hope TOPPS gets going quick but probably going to be awhile before we get something new. I hit 5 1/1's in topps but just in 2018 so hopefully it goes well. 👊
Holy Shit! 5 1/1s! That’s insane. I definitely hope the Topps boxes are that juiced! Thanks for the comment Cloudsey. Keep up the good work with the videos.
Hey DK. Yep. I subtracted all eBay fees. My total is everything that was deposited in my account. Thanks for all your support this year! I love all your videos. Keep up the good work man! Happy 2024!!
@@JoesCardStache Whatttt!? Photons are sick as hell Joe- everyone knows that. I saw from your PC you got ol' man taste though, so i understand. And i say that with the utmost respect Joe- I praise the Stache.
@myktybekSuperfractor-rb2wr Haha. Well I am an old man so that makes sense. I just don’t think photons are the coolest designs. I understand they are rare but I try not to collect certain types of cards just because Panini made them short prints. I have to like the design. Just my opinion though.
The wax is probably killing your profit my dude. I know it's hella fun, but u could've done some major damage buying 3 or 4 grand worth of singles on auction..
I agree Rick but for me it’s important to open some wax. It’s a big reason why I do all this. I just am trying to find the right mix of wax vs singles. Thanks for the comment and happy new year!
Yeah.. breaks are the worst investment by far. I bought into one recently and ended up with one numbered ian machado garry card for $70.. The rest was not worth anything.
Thanks TH-cam. 🤣🙏 gotta love it. Good shit Joe! 👊🤙
Haha. I do love free money!! Thanks for all the support this year Matt! Keep up the grind with your channel. You got the best thing going. I have a feeling you are going to pull a monster in 2024!
Nice job, brother! Break even. That is the goal. Sell enough to stay even, but build a portfolio to enjoy.
It’s the dream! Thanks for watching man. Hope you have a great New Year! 🍻

Loved the video! Can’t wait for 2024 cards. Awesome you made 300$+. I’m a massive panini fan but looking forward to topps.

22:50 prices are going down for Panini, Topps cards are still holding up
Very good point. I should have specifically said Panini cards. I do plan on still grading older Topps cards. Thanks for the comment!
