- First and foremost, hello! I hope you’re having a great day and don’t forget to smile 😃. This video showcases a large trade I did where I gave up a 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan BGS 9 Rookie for 300+ cards. Would you rather keep the MJ or take the 300+ cards like I did?

Legends say he is still showing everything he got for the jordan rookie😂
😂 one of my longest videos to date!
Ouch, that was rough to watch. I give you a lot of credit for putting this out there and being open to opinions. I commend you for taking a risk and I hope you were able to recoup and sell alot of that. Huge gamble, a lot of filler and newer basic stuff that will be tough to move, cornered the market in Al kaline and Kenneth walker. I would have kept the Jordan rookie and held and played the long game but I respect the decision. Hurts to hear you paid more $ on top. But hey we all make deals and take risk in life and some work and some don’t and each person has a different perspective on what success is for them. thanks for sharing , you have great content!
Interesting to hear all the perspectives about it being a rough or bad trade on my behalf. If I was holding any of the cards for 5+ years the MJ would be my number 1 choice by far. This was meant to gain value from I paid for the MJ, which was a success. I buy and sell trading cards for a living, do trades like this happen frequently for me, this was the first time making a video to showcase for everyone. I bought another MJ BGS 9 since posting this video, hopefully I can make another trade and showcase another play I make! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoy some of my content.
Trading stories is always thrilling! Sounds like a legendary deal!
It was a lot of fun to put this trade together!
I can definitely see both sides of this situation. You had the Jordan, you knew what it felt like to own the Jordan RC. I can see how you could make a long play to be able to own that Jordan again if you wanted to. I also understand the cards you traded for have much more volatility in the market. I pray you make profit. I can see a resurgence of the 90’s cards coming back, especially in my area. I think you made a good deal. Good luck my friend!!
Appreciate it! Luckily I’ve moved over 90% of these cards already. It was a move I knew I had to make quick, I couldn’t sit on a lot of these names for long.
Where did you land on 90% sold if you don’t mind me asking?
@@kempersportscards8341 I’d like to keep that number to myself, appreciate you asking though!
@@trading_card_brothers
Cone on we won't tell.... above or below 8 gramd on 90%?
@@THETRUTHb4u I've returned my cost of the MJ and some. Honestly tough to have a legitimate final number as anything I deemed value from this video, anything under $20, I didn't keep track of the individual sale. I have a category called value that I just keep track of the total and not individual card values.
Sweet trade! Idk if you remember but I am from BreaganBreaks back in the day. Getting back into the hobby!
Yes I remember! Welcome back
Dang! Man your making me jealous!😂 Nice trade I think you won some of those are up coming players! I would love to trade with you. You have alot of cards that I like! Good trade man!
Appreciate it! If you ever see anything you like contact me via my social media pages, I have those linked in the description of all my TH-cam videos.
great video and trade on your end. I enjoy trading down especially when you get value like you did congratulations .
Glad you enjoyed watching! It was the biggest trading down deal I’ve ever made. Took a couple days to get everything priced, but it was fun to complete
Love that blue scope tua
Great deal if you constantly sell/trade/deal cards. I traded a couple high end Jordan inserts (thrill seekers psa 9 and 94 refractor psa 10) for mid level cards. Sold them and got about 140% back in return vs if I sold the jordans alone. Definite win for you… although losing a 9.5 centered Jordan rookie is tough lol
Spot on! If you’re willing to do the work the extra value is there. Correct, losing a 9.5 centered Jordan is tough, but still plenty out there to purchase in the future.
I may have to go to that show and buy up your value box!!!
A lot of the items I showed in this video have already sold, I’ll be at the Lansing show in Michigan tomorrow!
You cant add value to the Jordan rookie. With all the raw cards my man got.. you can. Well done. Im willing to bet he can get 150% or more return. Keep us posted
Tough to say the final number as I don't keep track of individual sales for all the items that I deemed to be value, anything under $20. I returned the cost of my MJ and some for sure, just don't have that total number from everything I received in the trade.
At first I thought you were crazy trading down for what you referred to as a straight across trade (which I thought you meant 10k value for 10k value), but now that I see you gave dude $5 in trade value on cards like the $20 Star Power Kobe, $25 MJ Holoview, and $20 Pen Pals Kenneth Walker to name a few, I think you did great👍. And I bet you went by the lowest possible comps too on the bigger stuff in order to leave yourself some room. Flip all that and eventually make closer to $15k-18k is your goal I’m sure. Only way it’d be worth it. Tons of fire for shows. I bet he was happy getting outta some of that ultra-modern too, so it’s a win-win:)
Bingo, it was a true win win! I take the time to sell all the singles and gain a nice chunk of value compared to what I paid for the MJ rookie. A lot of those Kobe/MJ's were on the lower side of condition, I think I had the Kobe Star Power sticker prices at $18 in my value boxes.
All of that will drop and Jordan will continue to rise in 20 years rookie will b worth 25k and that pile will b worth 5 k if he's lucky
@@mattw7623 I agree, but this guy knows what he’s doing, he probably has most of it sold already. Getting $5-10 cards for $1 trade value, and $15-20 cards for $5 trade value, along with the great variety of bigger stuff that he probably valued at the lowest comps available, I bet he makes a killing
@@mattw7623 if I was holding long term I’d keep the MJ for sure, not long term holding anything right now though!
Beautiful haul!
Thank you!
At first i thought you were crazy for trading the jordan rookie in that grade especially with the 2 9.5 sub grades but then i realized you got a lot of Kobe and mj back which made the trade fair on both ends. In the end you definitely came up for sure. Plus in the end let’s be honest the Mj is available. It’s a base card. Hard to find with that 9.5 centering though
Thanks! The MJ is always available at any grade, that’s the nice thing is I can always buy the MJ back.
I would also look at some of that for grading, you might be able to maximize profit in that deal with grading
Unfortunately none of it would grade well. I used to run a PSA group submission and offered evaluations, this person I traded with I already evaluated all his cards for him that would be worth grading.
Really good trade on your part in my opinion trade half of that stuff and I think it would cover the Jordan cost
I was able to cover the cost of the MJ fairly quickly after attending the Burbank Card Show the same week I made this trade, luckily I had a great show schedule lined up and this low end stuff was great at the shows.
Great trade, I traded a Jordan high end insert for more lower end Jordan's and Kobe's
What was the Jordan high end insert that you traded?
I can see doing this to make a profit but man to have had a Jordan in the PC would have been epic!
It would’ve been fun to keep the Jordan for sure! Especially in that grade. Maybe one day I’ll stash one aside for myself.
@@trading_card_brothers I had a chance at one in PSA 7 for $7500 a few weeks ago…definitely someday lmao
Once you have the Jordan for 5+ years, lots like this look better & better.
I don’t know about everybody else but I think he got a lot more back in return than a Michael Jordan rookie because he got a lot of CJ Burroughs, Kobe and actual other Jordans so I think you got a lot more value in return
Value wise I got more, just created more work for myself
All the K walkers was a real down grade. The only card was the patrick mahomes which is like a psa 9 worth $1800. I would never in my life, even if I had extra MJ rookies
None of those cards were long term holds, aim to sell all within a couple months!
That’s just more work you have to do to get rid of them and the mj is just a classic
I don’t mind the extra work!
I think that was definitely a win for you
Value wise for sure! I just have to take the time and sell everything.
Yo you can grade the downtown CJ stroud. They all have that line on the back right border and PSA seems to be ignoring it for the most part. There’s like already a pop count of 200 10s I believe and they pretty much all have that line.
That’s good to know! I sold that CJ already, maybe I should’ve given it a chance at PSA!
Never bad to get in and get out. They have been giving it mostly tens but you just need one grader who didn’t get the memo about that line and you arent getting a ten if that is who you get so there definitely was still some risk
I’m interested in a lot of the Jordan’s cards if they’re still available
A lot of the MJ's would be cards I sell in my value box at a card show. I don't keep tracking of inventory for those types of value cards. If you ever see me setup at a card show just dig through those boxes!
I would make this trade easy with those walkers in it
Here's the thing i get it lots of great cards and variety different them most shows i see on TH-cam.but what are you going to do with the money you make since you traded the Jordan? I think you should invest it in vintage Mickey mantle rookie psa 2 yea it will probably cost you 55k
If I had the money to buy and stash Mickey Mantle from 1952 Topps graded by PSA I’d do it in a heart beat. I don’t have that type of money.
So you’re going to grind out selling all of these? I’m the other guy, looking to trade up to iconic banger cards.
Yes, I actually sold almost all of them at this point. Took me roughly 1 months, but have less than 20 of these cards remaining. It was one of those unique trades that was good for both people! He got rid of a bunch of modern he didn’t want and received an MJ he will stash for a long time, I gained value on my end. Win win!
I have hundreds of $20+ cards likewise. Iwould love to do a trade like this
If you ever see my post a card you’re interested let me know and I’m always open to discussing trades. I only do trades in person though, either local or at card shows
You should grade some of the good cards. Sell the ones you don't really need and repurchase the Jordan card. If u ask random people who the best of the best players are, M. Jordan will always be mentioned, for Basketball
Unfortunately all these raw singles wouldn’t grade well, I previously evaluated all these for grading for this person. I did purchase another MJ BGS 9 rookie this week though!
I think you will do well i see a few people saying they would rather have the jordan in my opinion i think you are going to to great it will take a little time but a lot of 20 to 200 cards which are what 90 percent of collectors investers flippers buy the jordan only 10 percent of people are looking to get definitely way way more buyers and plus can always get another jordan.
Would be cool if you did a update video once you get rid of it all and let us know how you did personally i think your going to do great.
Yes, the price points of the cards I was getting in return are the sweet spot when setting up at card shows. Most everyone can afford a card between $20-$200, very little people would put cash in front of me for the MJ BGS 9 RC. I for sure gained value, the final number on this one I will keep to myself. I'm in the green from what I could've sold the MJ for on its own though. I'll get another MJ in the future for sure!
Do you think Brady rookies are a good buy right now?
Not sure, that’s one thing I don’t comment on is if it’s a good time to buy something or not. I don’t want to influence someone one way or the other to purchase cards!
Best dollar stack I’ve ever seen
Not too shabby!
A beckett 9 is on pristine auction right now at $9,112 with 4 days togo so it should get close to or over $20,000. You feel all those cards and the work it will take to sell them is worth 20 grand? Hope so...good luck
I’d be shocked if that copy on Pristine finished at or over $20,000. Kuddos to the seller if it does. The highest sale of a BGS 9 in all of 2024 so far was $13,000…but that copy was .5 away from being a BGS 9.5. My copy was not worth $20,000
I'd rather take the lot any day of the week. IMO whoever keeps the Jordan are most likely not hobbyists. 75 sp rc's alone dwarf one card that's due to be counterfeited into a hobby problem
I can always buy the MJ back if I want to!
What a great deal
Thank you for watching!
Do you pc or long hold any of them?
I do have a PC, none of the cards in this video would be for my personal collection.
Well you got 10k in trade it sounds like you did really good
I got good value in return for sure!
@@trading_card_brothers oh heck ya
You got a haul! Can buy another MJ rookie and keep your profits to keep churning
I'll get another one down the road for sure!
I definitely am interested in that Kobe Bryant die cut
The Kobe Bryant die cut is still available!
Would you like to sell that spectra Maxx Crosby 4/4?
Unfortunately that Maxx Crosby sold already
Not a terrible trade but there’s some Risk involved
All calculated risks!
I want the scary terry NT how much
Terry NT I have available for $25 shipped. If you’re interested you can email me at tradingcardbrothers10@gmail.com
Where do you sell, I’d love to buy some
Card shows, eBay and Instagram!
Damn, I’m looking for someone who has a Jordan rookie so I can trade all my cards for it
I bought another MJ rookie since posting this video, if you would want to do a similar trade please email me at tradingcardbrothers10@gmail.com and we can try to work it out.
@@trading_card_brothers if it’s that high of a grade I can’t offer you a fair deal but if it’s something lower I could I just got into recollecting cards again a couple months ago and my biggest card is a tag 10 Trae Young kaboom 2021 which I am trying to trade that card if you would be interested in that also
@@scentualobsessions It's another BGS 9 copy for the MJ rookie that I picked up. However, I'm always looking to buy cards. Feel free to email me whenever with cards you're looking to sell and I will reply as quickly as I can with an offer or a reply!
You got some value in return, but personally I would of kept the MJ.
Keeping the MJ seems like what the majority of people would do!
For sure but if had the means to make his money back than okay I guess
I would have kept the mj
A lot of people have said that, which I can see their mindset!
You sure you didn't just go rob your local card shop????😂😂
lol for sure didn’t
You def made out in this deal.
Value wise I gained more, but also created a lot more work for myself!
Give me the Jordan card over all the others, for sure. Unless he has a duplicate Jordan card.
The MJ card was the best card in the trade no doubt!
hes gonna crack it and go for a 10 which u should have done
That's risky! I don't believe this copy would've crossed. I'd be happy for him if he successfully did that though.
That Metal Universe Kobe isn't a rookie.
I might’ve miss spoke in the video
Next time film the video when your kids go to bed, holy crap man how can you stand all that stomping lol. Don't listen to the haters man, there all just mad they don't have a MJ rookie to do a deal like this. Where are you setting up shop to sell these cards?
lol it’s only one kid! He’s active little dude. I travel to card shows or sell online, no physical location. I have my eBay linked in the description of this video!
The Jordan is extremely liquid so the question is would you have paid $10k cash for all this stuff plus value in your supplies and time sorting and selling dozens of hours…if you break even you did all that work for free
Simple answer, yes I would’ve paid that amount in cash for all these cards. That’s what made the trade so easy!
Folks dont realize that there are a lot of jordon rookies out there...only psa ones bring that kinda money....i didnt watch whole video...but the trade cards seemed kinda basic...and a bit worn...strait talk..id probably have sold jordon for big number to new collector and then grabbed a psa rookie....you could have worked your way up from there...
GL.
I don't hold many cards at this point, the majority of what I buy goes in and out within a month or two. I could've stuck to a straight sale for sure, my margins would've been smaller. I didn't make taking on the work and gaining extra value here!
Bro started off sayin the dealer wanted give you a bunch of lower end cards that MJ card is the peak of card collecting atleast in basketball you traded the grail
I traded a grail card for sure! No doubt about that.
Hmmm, not saying this wasn't a good trade for you, but if that CJ Stroud is the most valuable card you got then I've got questions. Stroud could literally be worthless in 5 years. Nobody knows. You took a huge gamble honestly, and made a lot of work for yourself, but like I said, might be a good move for you if you just wanted a bunch of bulk to sell. I would sell most of those modern cards quick though, like before 2025 when their careers are over. lol
Everything was moved very quickly! Nothing will be held longer than 2 months.
I appreciate the hustle but i heard the name Mac Jones in there. Shouldn't have even bothered with that card. 99% of those cards will be worthless by next year. Maybe next month.
For sure some names that will be irrelevant very soon! The plan was to move as much as possible within the first month of trading for these cards.
Got another Jordan?
I actually just bought another BGS 9 MJ yesterday!
Is this a joke? A BGS 9 Jordan goes for up to $150K, you traded him for fkn 150 $20 cards and 120 “value cards”. Even if all 300 are $20 that’s $6,000, and you gave him extra on top aka you got robbed of $150K.
No joke, a BGS 9 is no where close to $150,000 in today’s market!
Bwahahaha
Give me the MJ
Wowza this is a shit ton of effort for essentially -65% or worse or what you’d of sold the Jordan BGS 9 for
Prove the haters wrong I guess
Wasn’t too bad! I enjoyed making this trade happen actually.
ill take the jordan
Great deal. These casuals don’t know that the MJ card is not worth what it used to be. You destroyed the deal!
Value wise was good for me, just lots of work on my end!
And most of these won’t be worth that much in the future. Especially the football with the exception of mahomes
@@panchotacuatche166 I don't disagree, quick flips on everything I traded for!
I dont know how i ended up here but wtf smh ..who really trades the holy grail for a bunch of junk smh
Welcome to my channel! I’d happily do it again, can always buy back another MJ rookie, plenty of them out there.
That M.J. is like 20 grand...you got robbed
That’s a tad high in today’s market, around $10,000 when I traded it to him a couple months ago.
😂 yeah last bgs 9 mj rookie sold for 16,499 ebay. No way in hell I'm selling that for a bunch of modern junk, that will never sniff 16k & up.
@@Dresmooth23 $16,500 is high, not sure where you’re seeing that. The highest sale in 2024 for a BGS 9 MJ was $13,100…which was .5 away from a gem mint copy.
@trading_card_brothers sold on April 16th 2 days ago. Admit it. You got yourself smoked on that deal.
@@Dresmooth23 you might be looking at a PSA 9, BGS 9’s don’t do $16,500. PSA 9’s do though.
That topps stafford auto looks like a fake
First time I’ve heard that, didn’t know that was a faked card!
The real ones would have Topps certified autograph I believe above the name. The Topps quad with Calvin also looks like a fake
@@pickinjunk4165 hmmm. I just looked at some copies graded by PSA and don’t see that on them either. Do you have a picture as an example I can look at?
I do but don't know how to link it on here
@@pickinjunk4165 I have social media accounts linked in the description of this video
Bro dumb trade you should of cracked that and sent it to psa...lol and you gave him cash for low end retail rookies worth 1-5 each
That’s a tough cross from BGS to PSA! Not a risk I’m willing to take on an MJ Fleer rookie.
Alot of gambling i see... Banking on some dudes that haven't done a thing. Some if it is nice, mostly older than 2000.
No banking with these guys, they were all quick sells!
Still have lots of the Jordan’s cards available?
@@icyhotreef3579 only 1 of the MJ’s remain, the TMB Gold MJ
You never trade Michael Jordan for nothing you just give millions of dollars away imagen when Michael Jordan dies his rookie card will go up in price we are talking millions man nada trade just my opción good luck
Millions might be a stretch here with the MJ card that I traded away, but he will go up in value eventually for sure!
Dude you got jipped! No way all that stuff is worth the same as an original Jordan Rookie. I would personally rather have the Jordan Rookie than that other junk.
Value wise I received more than what the MJ is currently worth, however I totally get the point of having an MJ rookie long term!
Let us know the grade on that Mahomes silver.. that could cover a bunch of the Jordan value if it comes back a gem 💎
@@breakingchris6889 sold the Mahomes raw! It was a card I previously evaluated for the guy who owned it, would’ve been a PSA 7 or 8, had a simple.
Dimple*
You are a bozo if you prefer one card over thousands who you don’t know what future they might have
I rather keep MJ, you got ripped off
I could see wanting to keep the MJ, didn't get ripped off though!
Horrible trade
Why do you think so?
A sucker is born every minute. Traded a JORDAN 9 for a bunch of junk
I'm no sucker, but I can see why you might think that!
