Im a 13 year old selling on whatnot with my dad. I flip and sell my cards, i spent 3 and a half hours live on whatnot and made 260 dollars selling singles low end. I love whatnot❤
Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate these videos. So helpful and informative. I have my first card show coming up and your advice always helps me feel more prepared. Keep it up!
Hi , i just got into the hobby stuff , i am from greece and here the hobby now starting to growing, today i found your videos and i have to say, they are very helpful , so thank you for the much needed help😊😊
Growing up I collected cards for fun, as I’ve grown and started to get heavier into sports cards I’m looking into starting to sell so this video is very helpful, thank you!
I’m 13 years old, me and my friends are trying to start a TH-cam channel about opening packs and selling cards because we have a lot and we would like to make a lot of money off of it and this video really helped out slot thank you so much and have an amazing day sir.
@@Sincity702boytoo many variables. Your budget, the sport, player position, player era, modern/vintage/junkwax, etc etc.. determine your starting funds, and go from there that would be your biggest factor. If your budget is $1,000 then low end cards could be $1-$50 and mid could be $50-$500
The only thing that I would say that maybe you got wrong was with comc if you have 1 card that you sent and need back it isn't a high price for shipping. It is $5 and 3 to 5 days. If you have multiple cards it is an extra 50 cents per card if you want the same quick processing and quick shipping. If you want to pay $5 flat shipping for multiple cards it is currently taking 3 months. Usually I think it is 3 to 5 weeks.
We love your video. Thank you for all the info you give, plus its so helpful. We have so many Basketball cards starting from the 1970's. We just want to sell them but we just don't know where to start. We would rather sell them all, instead of going on ebay.
COMC does do eBay auction service if you go through their consignment but that and their buy it now listings on there have some downsides like higher shipping cost for the buyer and etc.
Great video for someone just learning (as in me). Do you have a video on whether or not to send cards for grading and or how to assess your own cards. All the online guidance I've found to try and apply PSA approaches (or other grading companies' approaches.)
Good sidenote mentioning that just because cards are listed at a price doesn't mean that is what they are selling for! This gets a lot of new people in the hobby.
What's your experience like selling cards on the whatnot marketplace? Not going live or anything just listing in their marketplace. Also what are your thoughts on selling bulk? Is it worth sending to a consignment service like comc or not worth anything at all?
I’ve sold a few things that way, but haven’t done enough to have a real opinion on it. Depends on your definition of bulk. But in general yes there’s value and I’d have someone else handle selling it for me
Easiest and most profit are mutually exclusive I think. I sold mine on craigslist. 1st person offered 10% less, told him no, 2nd person paid in full. One quick transaction, no fees, no damage in shipping, no 'item not as decribed', no 'item not received', no setting up at a show and sitting there all day. It was way too much to take to a show, but that's not a bad option if you don't mind the admission fee, travel, time, haggling, etc.
Thanks for the guide! What is your criteria/threshold to go with DCsports over doing it yourself since you do have your own store and sell cards full time? Second, feel free to point me to the video if you already covered this but how much do you promote for your BIN listings? I've only been selling for a few weeks and promoting has helped sell my stuff but the 13.5% plus promotion of 7-12% plus 30 cents seems to cut into the profits quite a bit. In short, do you promote, do you select their recommended percentage, or the dynamic option, or what? Thanks again.
Thanks so much for this video! I have boxes of cards from the 80's that I stored away and didn't know what to do with. Regarding consigning [PA or DCSports] are there any negatives with sending the whole lot? Cheap, poor-quality cards and all? Will those amount to unnecessary costs adding up? Will I need to filter out the lower-end cards- or do they do that too? Can you set a threshold [$3 or less) and any card that falls under that will not be added to the listing??
I noticed that DCSports does not take cards prior to 1980 and I have a lot of cards that fit that category. Why don't they take them and how would you suggest I sell them? Shows?
Hi, I'm in AZ and inherited a card collection of 24 boxes full of cards, baseballs, bats, framed items and want to sell as a whole unit. What would you suggest for the best way to do this?
I just inherited thousands of sports cards from my uncle trying to sift thru them and find the ones of value... It's a huge time commitment which I'm finding it hard to find time.... Any ideas or tips what to do or if you know anyone looking to buy bulk. Regards, Alex Tietjen
What did you end up doing? I’m in the same situation. Boxes and boxes of my father in laws cards. Don’t have time to go through them but don’t want to give them away either. Trying to find the easiest way to sell them.
I have an Mbappe whitebox 1/1 NT vertical on card auto. It was originally one of the /25 card but never got stamped. I can’t seem to get a sold answer on what the card would be worth. /10 of the card sold for $12k when the set first came out and recently an out of /75 just sold for $2100. How would you figure out the value on this card and where would you sell a card like this?
i Have a Mickey Mantel, Willie Mays, Duke Snyder signed baseball. However it's signed by William white and hand numbered any thoughts all the ones I have seen are bobby brown Does this make the ball more rare
I have so much just base cards probably over 1000 that are only worth $2 or less mostly less maybe a few are $3 it's so hard to sell 1000 base cards at once when most of them are probably less than $1 might have to find a card show around me and just see what someone would offer cash for them
The cards I have are in very nice shape, always having been in hard plastic envelopes since new. Would it be worth sending them off to be graded? what would the cost of grading be?
I'm still confused! I'm in this boat now. I'm out of work, struggling to find a job, and would like to have my own full time business selling cards. My friend who owns his own card store recommended selling on Facebook marketplace to start out, and he would also pay for a table for me to sell at a con. I have zero experience in selling anything online, as well as I've never used paypal or online banking. What can you truly recommend for someone as green as me right now?
Another thing for people to remember and understand is for auctions there needs to be at least 2 buyers wanting the item to bid the price up. Even if it’s a rare item and the right buyer finds it if no one else is bidding they will get it for cheap.
I an older collector I been selling my collection for years I got over 100 graded from footballs and baseball from 1932- 2017 and graded over 150 more best I think it be better that way? If want to know more I let you know in my collection let me know I try to see
I’ve noticed a lot of mean people when buying rock cards online. Presuming they’re in better condition or what not. I may collector not trying to make a quick buck like many now.
I was told DC has roughly the same fee structure as a standard eBay listing - is their percentage on top of eBays 13%? Would you recommend it for lower end bulk? Thanks for the insight Trike!
I had heard that too, but doesn’t seem to be the case in my experience. I don’t know how exactly they do their fees. But for instance I just sold a card for $17.42 and walked away with $13.44 or roughly 77%. It’s definitely my #1 option right now for bulk low end that I don’t want to deal with though. I could get more selling on eBay or even go through a dealer. But the time savings is huge
I have a 1958 baseball collection set my dad played for the Cardinals in 1957 and I have pretty much the full set and a really great condition any advice on how to sell and where to sell to best way this is a very precious collection to me but I need the money due to health reasons and I don't want to get scammed I'm getting so many mixed people and everybody lies and is deceitful so far and I need to sell it fast but I don't want to have to rush and then lose out on making the most profit and getting taken advantage of any advice would be greatly appreciated and that goes also for maybe your other members I have several auction sites that want to work with me I'm not sure if that's the way to go but I am ill and I do not have the time to be on eBay or getting the cards graded etc I would rather put them in the hands of a company that would take commission and get me the best price however I'm hearing at the most auctions are not till September and they can't read them in time for the July August so I'm really confused any help would be greatly appreciated 👍 God bless 🙏😘
@@Sportallday87 I don't have the money to get them graded I have cancer and my funds are really low and plus I've been told since I have the complete set to not sell them individually I was supposed to go with Robert Edwards auctions and it ended up going down the tubes and now I'm literally almost broke so many people trying to take advantage of me I just need the money quick at this point and I just want to find out what is my best options which is going to take time or if there are other ways that I could sell them without having to put money up front front first for grading for instance Robert Edwards auctions was going to do the grading themselves 0 I really screwed up and I'm seriously on the verge of homelessness I just don't know what to do I just don't want to get taken advantage of any input would be greatly appreciated thank you 🙏Lisa 🌈
I got old baseball football and basketball card in great condition want to sell cause i really dont need them and dont want to sell them but for the right price ill sell them Let me know if you are a serious
A neighbor has “a garage full” of sports memorabilia. I am an experienced eBay seller and could list them for him, but I wouldn’t know how to go through that much stuff. Does anyone have a methodology they can share?
My dad passed away in 2007 and he put his whole life into sports cards, now I’m left with like a million, literally 😂 maybe more. I haven’t known what to do because he always instilled in me to be careful to not get low balled. This video just brought so much clarity so THANK YOU
Sorry about your dad's passing! Hope you're doing better, and congrats on the sports cards! That's a lot of cards to take in lol good luck on everything I hope you enjoy your dad's collection whether you sell it or not
Ive got theee binders of 80s and 90s baseball cards. So, they're just junk? I started collecting in the late 80s when I was a kid. My dad would buy me a pack any time I was with him at a store. I held on to them and kept them for 30+ years and now they're just worthless? That sucks. I guess I'll throw them away. I thought I'd at least get something out of them. There's probably 5000 cards in my collection. I've lugged them around with me through every move over the past 30+ yearsm It was all wasted effort. I guess I'll toss them out mext tome I'm going through my clost.
Im a 13 year old selling on whatnot with my dad. I flip and sell my cards, i spent 3 and a half hours live on whatnot and made 260 dollars selling singles low end. I love whatnot❤
Nice, I love whatnot definitely one of the best places to buy sports cards. 👍
How did you get followers? I’m 17 I did $300 or so in sales then kind of gave up because id have a 3 hour show with literally no sales lol.
I usually do 1 givey 10 minutes or so into a stream to get people in and going. Maybe you should try that.👍
Hey I’m also twelve and I’m looking to start on whatnot how much money did it take you to start a setup not including cards?
@@insanevideoedits1659 my setup was maybe like $40? All you need is a card holder phone holder and lightning. From my eBay and whatnot experience
Thank you so much. I was gifted my 85 year old father’s card collection and didn’t have a clue where to start. I appreciate this so much.

130point is also a good alternative to sold items on ebay
I looked at 130point,,, it shows lots of different prices of the same damn card sold on ebay, LMAO!! So it's useless!!
Great guide! Thank you for doing informative videos. They help a lot!
Happy to help!
Dope video Troy -- Always 100% spot on with the analysis and information.
Appreciate that a lot bro! Keep killing it yourself
Thanks for posting these videos, very helpful and encouraging. One question, what’s your cut off value for low end to high end.?
Depends on the context, there’s also mid-end as well
@@TRIKESportsCards what price ranges would you consider mid?
@@TRIKESportsCards based on nm to mint non graded.

Biggest rule. “Do not have an attachment to your cards”. Everything else is secondary.
That's my problem
My biggest 😫
Thanks for the video, I’ve had my dads old 70s to late 90s basketball collection for a long time now so this really helps
Appreciate your informative videos!! They help a lot. ❤
Got you!
I.alllways screen shot before i send of to show ebay the card i sent cos some ppl are dodgy and try saying they didnt get a psa10 when they did
Good sidenote mentioning that just because cards are listed at a price doesn't mean that is what they are selling for! This gets a lot of new people in the hobby.
appreciate the hardwork for this awesome video !!)
Another solid video with concise, understandable info!

Do you have to write down ever card you have when you send to eBay consignment
Great video. Was hoping to find information on to sell boxes of commons. Any info so very appreciated

For DCsportscards are you able to send them slabs? Or just raw cards?
How about the stuff that's under $5? Sales fees and shipping doesn't end up making much.
Do you know any good consignment sites for comic books or collector figures?
Do you think UK collectors can make this a full time job?
If you send it to a consignment shop, do you have to send a list of cards you have?
