“Also, I might win the lottery this week” lol😂
Gotta play to win 🥳 happy new year
Congratulations. My favorite part of these videos are when you find cards for your Personal Collection. Those two Ripken cards are really special. Glad you got them!
Funny. I have a 19 card order in too. At stage 7. 😄
The last LeBron at the end is gonna be worth holding on to and the quad Relic with Reggie Bush. Nice stuff.
Thank you Chris for sharing your submission. I've been a collector a long time and I've decided to stop grading due to the ridiculous nonsense PSA puts people through. But for those who do grade this is a viable piece of information to help them along the way. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experiences along the way. You're the best card content online.
I’ve noticed if you pay for a higher service you get more consistent graders
Hope this helps. In baseball the 96 ultra platinums have a stated print run of 200 copies so probably pretty similar in basketball.
Without the Ripkens, and with the eBay fee calculator, I got you clearing 50% on your total cost of cards & grading.
I wish I could do that every month...
It was the introduction of the word "refractor" that ended my joy of collecting. I couldn't hear or say the word without laughing. I still can't.
Congrats on the Ripkens!! I recently had a tough late-90s Elway insert gem at PSA (very unexpectedly, I might add 😂) so I can definitely relate to your excitement! 10s are nice... but 10s on PC cards are unmatched 🔥🔥
Great return there! You brought up the lottery and from all the PSA reveals I watch lately it could be kind of like playing the lottery. I hope they get some consistency back. Happy new year everyone!!!
Sweet return.... As a collector that collects Jeremy Roeinck and Denis Savard (or any Blackhawks in general) - it's really awesome when you can find a unique card to add to your PC, lol.... But look, I have so much inventory I need to send out to be slabbed, I'm just not comfortable with the fees quite yet,,, I mean I have a ton of really nice vintage baseball - Hof'ers and SP's from the 60's and early 70's that need to be slabbed..... Over the last month or so I've really just taken a bit of a "technology break" just so I can spend time with friends and family, so I have taken a break from the "selling/trading" side of the hobby however I'm looking forward to get back into my rhythm.... I have to get back into the game and post some cards up, haha..... Happy New Years guys... We'll see how it goes in 2023 folks!
Chris- have a happy and healthy new years! Safe travels! Looking forward to some more incredible content in 2023, and the return of regular rollers! 😃
Those Cals are crazy. I didn't know they had that low number in the 90s. Especially not score.
Always enjoy your content Chris. As you mentioned a couple times and I would concur, these definitely all should have gone at the lower submission price and let PSA determine if there should be any upcharges.
The other issue that doesn't get covered here is that a $30 card has $3 in fees to sell at 10% but a $100 card costs you $10 to sell so it can be more expensive to sell the more expensive cards.
That ripken would sell for a ridic amount. A PSA 8 of a jeter 1/1 98 score went for 885
I love how the '17 Topps Chrome Soccer is the same design as 2018 Topps Baseball.
Happy New Year from the USA. Thanks for the content.
Happy New Year's Chris, unless you were flipping energy stocks, or buying put options, 2022 was a tough year for making good money in most short term investments to say the least.
Sweet Ripkens! Happy New Year!
I’m from Baltimore. Those Ripken cards look so good graded.
Thanks for sharing Chris. Love how you do the financial breakdown. I do something similar when I send my cards in to grade. Goal is to break even on the 9s and make some enough money on the 10s to pay for your PC cards. Happy New Year and keep up the great content in 2023
Dude, you really seem to know your stuff! Great order. I'm just getting back into the hobby bc as a Niner fan I'm going nuts trying to get some Brock Purdy cards. Thanks for the video as I'm learning about grading rn.
Thanks for the video! Always an instant click. I'm not a collector but gathering info, will get into the hobby at the bottom in a couple years.
Would love to see a video of you showcasing your Ripken PC
Now you need to factor in the cost of selling the card. You will sell the card for $100 but eBay will get their percentage. Which means your profit margin is even less.
I wonder how much more ebay will push their fees up in the next 5 years? It's frustrating seeing how much they've upped their cut over the years.
Raw value on the 1 of 1 ripken is what you paid for it. The graded value is what you think it would sell for. Not to sound as a matter of fact.
Always enjoy these videos! This is still the BEST Sports Card Channel on TH-cam. Happy New Year, my friend 🤙🏽
Finally an order when they did not screw you over send back cards that were supposedly altered
Psa grading is so unpredictable. Well done Chris
Nice order! Love those Ripkens!
Excellent, another great watch with a really good narrative. Thank you.
Nice order Chris! I have a 25 card order at PSA now, hoping for the best!
Good luck!
the last two cards, wow! such tough gems, might each be pop 1s. Thank you for the upload and breakdown.
Congrats on the Ripkens!
Thanks! Really like the revels and estimated financial results. Happy New Years to you and yours!
In case no one has mentioned this yet, the LeBron James City Heights card came with Upper Deck redemption orders as a free card. I ended up with several of them at the time.
1996-97 Fleer Ultra Platinums have a print run of 250.
Quite jealous of those Ripkens. They are killer!
A ripken pc video would be cool
Have a Happy New Year! Great video BTW!
Congrats on the 1/1 Cal!
Love the PC slabs! I mainly submit for my Pete Alonso registry, about 70% of the sub is Alonso, and the rest cards I hope to sell to pay for the sub, cards I get from the random pack opening or good deals off of eBay. Surprised your Cal collection is so specific, I would think you may appreciate well designed on-card autographs and quality patch cards using authentication stickers and game-used bat knobs. (I want a Pete Alonso Bat-Knob so bad!!) Anyway, great video as always. Cheers!
Good to hear from you and glad to hear the Alonso PC is still going strong! I used to collect all things Ripken but then decided to mainly only focus on rare 90s inserts.
Gr8 submission and grades Chris.. Those Ripken Jr cards are really nice also the Nash Platinum RC is Nasty..😲😍 Love it.. Have a very Happy New Year..👍💕🔥⚾🤙
Love the soccer cards and especially 2014 Prizm WC, tough to get those in high grade sometimes
Nice video alot good info over the psa Grading
Love the videos man…I’m trying to get a Batch to Send to PSA having a hard time on how many I should do this first run but thanks for the Content!!!
Platinum Medallions are /100 no? I know in hockey the Ice Medallions are. Anyway, nice video as always.
Congrats on the Cal's sooooo awesome!
Congrats! Great cards Chris! Good job predicting!
I always send in at the lower level and let psa upcharge me
nice to see soccer cards im.from uk.
The Ripken cards are the equivalent of a lottery win methinks. Nice cards for your PC fo' shizzle.
geeez, that ripken 1/1 is silly, very jealous
nice Chris
happy holidays
very nice soccer!
Really enjoy your videos, thank you for putting up great content. I do have a question for you. Where do you buy the majority of your raw cards from? Ebay, card shows, personal collections? Thanks again and have a Happy New Year.
The vast majority of what I buy is personal collections. Probably 90%. I also buy some at card shows and online as well (mainly ebay and COMC)
If you had to sell the 1/1 Ripken what would you think you’d have to list it at?
Well seeing as he is the Iron Man of Baseball could be for a good amount.
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos and especially these PSA reveal videos with the financial breakdown.
Question: how do you acquire most of these cards? Are the bough in collections or are you searching them out one by one on selling sites?
Thanks! 🙏
The vast majority of cards I acquire are in personal collections
I'm not sure why anyone is sending in stuff at the $30 level unless it's a $200 card. I bulk submit most of mine in the $15-$17 range and just don't put claimed value as a high amount. They take them all it doesn't matter what you put on the sheet for a value.
Also to clarify I spend $2-$10 on some raw cards send them in for $17 shipping included so I'm never into the card for more than $27. Usually I'm into the card for $20. So if it comes back a 9 and it's worth $30-$50 at a sell price I'm already ahead. That's the way to keep from just breaking even on 9s.
I sometimes prefer the $30 level since it comes back much quicker
@@collectorinvestordealer I can understand that but it's a big profit loss and my bulk subs have been coming back in 6 weeks tops
@@collectorinvestordealer well correction maybe 8
Hey Chris! Great episode! Would you say---hypothetically or demonstrably---that at this time you have a 'top 10 in the world' Cal Ripken collection?
Definitely not. My Ripken collection is actually quite small (maybe 75-100 cards or so).
nice job Chris...
Nice sub! Chris, thoughts on doing your pre-grade on a .5 scale? It's a real challenge, and it helps separate the 9s and 10s. I do a similar range, but somethign like "9/9.5" or "9.5/10".
Thats a pretty good idea. Only issue is that PSA essentially never gives out .5s at any level.
@@collectorinvestordealer Agreed, rarely do they give them out. Not really looking for the pre-grade to match what PSA grades. It's just helped me remember cards that were shaded more toward a 9 or more toward a 10. Or even more important between grades on vintage between 7-8-9.
I’d really like to buy the Griffey Jr. Auto Card from you! If you don’t have it sold or listed please let me know if and how to get that done! I asked about the Mattingly Donruss RC a few weeks ago but I guess you had plans for it! But I’m interested if you’d like to sell it! Can PayPal or Whatever works for you! Thanks Chris! Enjoy All You Videos!!!
Howdy could you send me the name of the outfit use, for selling your ungraded cars. Thank You.
Nice
So i was curious about the Score 1/1 to see about what they bring in price. Its very odd unless im looking at it wrong. There is a Ripken PSA 9 for sale. And there is also 2 Andrew Jones for sale. BGS grading 1 of them.
From what I understand, there is a 1998 Score Rookie&Traded 1/1, and a 1998 Score Showcase Rookie&Traded 1/1. The cards look very similar, so there are basically 2 similar 1/1s of each card in the set. One of the Ripkens is labelled incorrectly since they are both labeled as not the showcase.
I think with the possibility of sports cards goin more international in the coming years, Yao Ming is a great play
Maybe, although Hakeem Olajuwon and Tim Duncan (both international players) never, really saw, a huge jump in their cards...I like Yao though, those Houston teams with Ming and Tracy McGrady were fun to watch. Too bad, they both ended up being plagued by injuries.
Why did you put the cap back on the marker every time
I have a Jerry rice rookie card and not sure what I n3d to do with it or who I need to send to have it graded
Interested in the Lebron patch if you’re selling
Love videos like this!
beautiful ripken 1/1. where did you acquire it?
It was in a personal collection that I bought
Go blue!
Hi can I buy the Donald card
Glad to see a video from you it's been a week or so since you posted. Nice return. Do you think Messi is the GOAT?
Thanks Shane! I do think Messi is the GOAT (or certainly top 2 along with Pele)
Pele is the GOAT. Rip, legend.
Pele is the hands down the goat. I do think Messi put himself at num 2 solidly. Much like lebron when he gets the highest ever scorer passing kareem in nba, but still two... after mj whobi think is the goat.. just my humble though. Od have thought lebron coming in as young, all those walks to the Finals in the east 9i think (had to add a season w all playoff stats), and the fact of zero defense to speak of like in the 90s on inside or hand check. Usually younger people tend to overlook the defense side of ball, everyone is getting 40, 50, 60 point games. They think it's so much better hut are lost in the fact of zero defense. In which mj was solid A, A+
It'll be interesting to see how much he the sentiment changes after he takes that in the public. Most people don't actually watch, now or then tho. And as time goes by less people will have actually seen both mj and lebron in their prime/whole career so the numbers I think will eventually erode the eye test
I am confused about the declared value to be honest. I have seen big cards slip by in bulk many times (1000 dollar cards). When you get up charged they just up charge up you at the so called "appropriate level" correct? It seems you could save money and submit in bulk all the time in hope that stuff will slip by?
Yes, this is true. You can always send in at the lower level and then they will just upcharge you so it will be cheaper that way for you. But the turnaround time will be a lot more.
@@collectorinvestordealer ok, cool. Thanks
are you able to write off the cost of grading? would there be any other benefit to opting into the higher price submission
Cost of grading is certainly a business expense for me. The higher price submission comes with much faster turnaround times.
How much difference in price would there have been by using SGC instead of PSA?
Hard to say but the resale value would definitely be lower
Im interested to know, why the values of the PC cards dont matter @13:52 because they are PC cards? Why doesnt the value matter? is there no real value to a PC card? the card still has a value yes? Interesting your perspective on your PC cards values do not matter.
Probably because PC cards, there is no intention (at least, short to mid) term, for selling cards. What the price is now, compared to 3-5 years from now, it will probably be much different...
All I meant was that regardless of what they are worth, I am keeping them. All the other cards I intend to sell for (hopefully) a profit, so the value is more relevant at the moment.
@@collectorinvestordealer Yea I took it literal, as if the values of cards in a PC do not matter.
@@ACD1994 sort of like your stocks or long term other investments yes? their values dont matter until its time to sell them?
@@ktc629 Exactly
If you were to auction that one of one ripken realistically what kind of number comes to mind do you think the value would be at?
I am not really sure... maybe a couple thousand?
@@collectorinvestordealer interesting yeah for some reason the number that popped in my head I was thinking like 5,000 but maybe I'm way off although one of one is kind of name your price in a way
I could see this card, selling for around 5 thousand.
I saw a tutorial video on psa graded where they show psa adding shipping and Insurance on the checkout at the end. But it's not clear to me if that was for both ways or only for psa to send it back to you. I've never done one before but looking to do my first psa submission. Do you need to calculate your own shipping and Insurance when you send it to psa? If so how do you go about doing that part? Thanks in advance.
The shipping/insurance they calculate is only for the return shipping. You separately also have to pay to ship it to them.
Is your raw value based on your cost or how is that determined? Is eBay your preferred platform ?
I did a rough estimate based on recent sales. I use a bunch of buying/selling platforms, including ebay. My favorite would probably be COMC
@@collectorinvestordealer There must be some deals to be had on COMC as I looked at comps and was wondering where your hidden ball trick was coming from. Appreciate the videos.
I know your keeping the 1 of 1 Ripken but if someone offered $10,000.00 would you sell? I'm not offering just asking. LOL
Everything has a price LOL
Yeah I would take that :).
@@collectorinvestordealer I Didn't even know they made 1 of 1's in that product so early on. I think 10k for this card would be a bargain compared to a lot of these ultra modern prospects to 25, 50 and 99. Put it on Ebay for 20k. :)
13:10 Am I missing something? Why do you keep saying Junior Griffey?
"Junior Griffey" is a way people sometimes referred to him
@@collectorinvestordealer oh I didn’t know that, thanks for the info!
I tried watching this video with an open mind, I submit cards every month and definitely do not pay $35, and definitely do not pay full price "RAW" value so you are behind the 8 ball right there. Your value for final sales are way off or you are using eBay sales, regardless I consider you a novice/amateur at the art of flipping!!
Nice return
