    Blasters are garbage. You can get really good base cards in the .25 boxes at card shows. I like buying rookies who are more than half way through their career and on a Hall of Fame trajectory.

    I agree on what cards to grade. I only suggest grading a card for 2 reasons: 1) Is it a long term/forever card for your own collection that you want to preserve? 2) Is it a card that you have examined very hard and is in Mint Condition front, back and edges that you want to sell? Otherwise, just keep it in a sleeve and toploader and then store in a box, special book for toploaded cards or in a closed display case.
    You should have goals for your collection and a game plan to acheieve that goal.
    Set a reasonable budget and stick to it. Don't use a Credit Card, unless you are paying off that card to $0 owed each month.
    For storage, I have switched to the BCW 3,200 count plastic storage bins. They have locking tops, 4 rows of storage capacity, stack extremely well on top of each other and have a place for cards to be displayed on the front, so you know what you put in there. I am replacing the cardboard boxes I have used for years with these bins. I can stack more bins and store a lot of cards. They can also become a display box if I rent a table at a card show.
    As to what I have planned to collect, within my budget and have a chance of reaching my goals, I buy lots on eBay. Since buying boxes is getting more and more difficult, odds are getting worse to getting what I want/need and prices of ones you can find are astronomical, I buy bulk lots. I am a set builder, so I need common cards and star cards. I buy singles to fill in the blanks from my bulk buys. As of late, Box Breaks give the "gamblers" who buy in a stack of cards that they usually don't want and are happy to unload them to recoup some of their money. I buy those for cheap. They also don't usually sell cards on eBay, so they don't always list them properly and at the best times to get maximum bids. I take advantage of misspelled listings that get missed by others and the ones that end on a night/morning when most people aren't looking at auctions.
    When it comes to what I think will hold value in the future, it comes down to brand/set, team, player, rookie vs vet, and print runs. A Dodger player and a Yankee player have a better chance to hold value. A quality veteran player is better than a nobody rookie. Insert sets aren't a priority to collect, unless it us a numbered parallel. Topps is licensed and Panini isn't, so I don't collect Panini. I will work to build a parallel variation set, over the base set and I know what the approximate print runs are for all non-numbered cards in the sets I am building.

    I have never sent in a card to be graded. I don't see the value in it. I know those that do it are going to get all riled up, but hear me out. My cards are my PC and I have no intention of selling any of them nor am I particularly concerned about the value of individual cards or as a whole.
    One argument I hear from the grading boys is the protection the slabs offer. Fair point, but are you handling your cards in a such way that a one touch or toploader sleeve combo isn't enough protection? Think about it.
    Another argument I hear is people saying it's so that when your cards are passed along after you die, it's ensuring value. Let's be honest - a lot of dealers are shady and will lowball the hell out of someone who brings in a collection saying "these belonged to my late husband". Do you think they're automatically going to say "this is a PSA 10 and comps are x, so I will offer you 70% of x".
    I think a lot of people send cards in to get graded because they like the challenge of seeing if they can pick out cards and what grades they will get and then getting that validation upon delivery of said graded cards is like a crack high.

      Yea I’m leery about the grading process over the past few years as well. If it was less than $5 to grade a card, then I’m all for it. But when it costed me $40+ to grade a card, not worth it to me.

    I PC a HoF finalist but yet to be inducted. I enjoy opening boxes as I am also a set builder, but in all honesty the ONLY graded cards I look at are KEY / under-appreciated rookies of notable players. The good thing about where I am buying is that I am selling the hot players in order to buy my next boxes. I also avoid flagship products like the plague. Bowman, Donruss, Topps, no thanks. I may grab some if I find them on discount, but I prefer to buy the complete sets at the end of the year, and maybe grab a couple of the updated series. I'll take a box of Chrome though, or Bowman Platinum, or Zenith. These products tend to have decent inserts and haven't been horrible on quality coming out of the boxes. I've still pulled some huge cards, just not as frequently. Biggest one was a Wander Franco (yikes) 1 of 1 RC Platinum Pairings out of a $14 retail box; odds were 1:700000+ for packs.

    * What’s the odds of a PSA 10 ? (Ceiling)
    * What’s the odds of a PSA 9 or better ? (Floor)

    Also, with your point of buying the blaster or the single, you can’t put a value on the thrill of the chase. Some people value you that just as high, and think buying singles is the easy way out. PLUS, if you’re singles off eBay, what are the chances that person put a card that will grade well up for sale? I always wonder that.

    What boggles my mind is how an Ohtani or Judge etc base RC PSA 10 Chromes can be worth a few hundred bucks with like pops of 5000+ but like a much lower pop rookie of the same player in the same 10 grade are only a fraction, such as an Ohtani 2018 Topps Throwback Thursday #107. This card, which I think some people consider it to be a 'base' perhaps not, has a pop of only 138 but most would put its value much less than the 'popular' base chrome or even Topps paper rookie cards. I think over time the less known rookies cards rise in value but the pop differences are insane and obviously the print run differences as well. Enjoyed the video!

      I would check eBay to see what cards you have and what price they are going for. I made a video about this a few months back, go back and watch that and it should help! You could also go to local card shows and try to swing some deals as well. Face to face always has a chance of getting better deals than online because you can barter.

I waited 4 months to get a ohtani /25 get graded and it cost me around $40. Why would I want to spend $40 on a base card to get graded, wait months and then I could open a pack and get it again?

    Different people collect sports cards for different reasons. Perhaps your reasons are not relevant for other people? For example, I'm a set collector who tries to collect master set (base plus all parallels) to the best of my ability, and I don't really care about condition as much when it took me 10+ years to find the #'d to 50 parallel of James Loney that I desperately need to finish off my set. Also, few people will ever want to buy my completed sets when I'm ready to sell. They're just going to want the HOFers. But it's no fun for me to just buy the HOFers. Some would say I'm wasting my time. But I don't see it that way. Perhaps your advice is more for people who want to invest, not just collect?

    • @Sportscardhustlers
      @Sportscardhustlers  18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It is definitely more for investors. But at the end of the day, collect what you like! And personally, I am just like you and like to open boxes with my kids and collect. We like to complete sets (right now my son is trying to collect all the prospect inserts from bowman 2024 (the ranking cards) without going on eBay). Thanks for commenting!
