I lost about $4,000 to a scammer before I was recommended to Expert Mr Pierre financial institution and believe me he helped me recover the $4,000 and made an extra of $7,000 in the space of a week and four days.
Wow. You missed it. The “old dude” just got the kid to upgrade the trade THREE TIMES when the original trade was already fair. “Whoever talks first loses”, classic sales motto, he just sat there and “sweated” and acted like the Kobe was better than it was and the kid ate it up. Old dude initiated the trade like the hunter and perfectly segued into being the chased prey.
@@TWHowl the Kobe is better, that was the chase card In the deal no way Geoff would've done the first deal I'll admit he pump faked him at the end and got that Brady card too which was a veteran move
Low-key my favorite part of this video is when Geoff asks him if he wants to plug a social media account, an Instagram account or anything (valuable considering amount of subscribers on this channel) and the kid was like "Nah!" Lol that was so baller!
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW ITS DONE! Fair, upfront, honest, transparency, and let the market and numbers work out the deal. Bravo Geoff! I wouldve liked to see you mention Market Movers in the video. Like when you said WHAT HAS ACUNA DONE IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF.....(Lets check Market Movers lol) This was a prime example of how a true professional in sports cards conducts business.
This kid's collection is sick!!! He must have some very wealthy parents to get him started w those. I have been collecting for 30 years and my collection doesnt compare unfortunately. However, i have sold all of my huge cards over the past 20 years, otherwise my collection would compare. I give the kid huge props!! Keep going!!! :)
@@ozsportscardcollector4720 the kids awesome. Very knowledgeable. I’m sure he’s done well. It’s just not obtainable for any normal kid or person without a massive amount of money to put into cards. He had quite the starting hand dealt to him by his parents.. he’s played it well though, no doubt.
Kids can grind and succeed in the hobby just like adults. I gave my 15 year old son a few of my cards I had when I was younger which totaled about $1000 to start his collection. A year later his collection is probably worth $20k.
How do you receive funds like that at a card show? The last card show I was at was in the early 90s as a kid in the middle of a mall haha. So who knows how things work now
Amazing work by the editing team getting these vids out so quick! That's not an easy thing to do by any means. I saw that kid a few times - didn't think he was dealing in 25-60k cards 👀 Thanks again for taking the time to speak with me! I recognize that dude at 22:25 😉
@@collectiblesource3902 he had to start with over 100k in boxes, capital or cards. You can’t flip to cards that are worth that much from nothing. Kids impressive, but he got quite an amount from his parents

Alot.of jealousy I sence for the kid ...I stand on the side he makes good buys ..and sells off into better stuff way b4 the price Jack's up ..and sits even better to move on to next higher plateau cards..I say he is a wise investor ND follows the trends pretty dam good...
Mad props for just making the video about the trade and not promoting that there's some insane 15 year old kid with a tremendous collection. Shows pride in the hobby and what the real focus is. But, on the lighter side.... Kid: Mom, I need a ride home now. Can you pick me up? Mom: Yes, don't forget your suitcase full of a MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF CARDS. Kid: I won't, mom. Can we get McDonalds? Mom: Yes we can. Kid: YAAAAAAAYYYY!!!
I really enjoy how the comments aren't toxic towards this kid, he likely had some money to smart but used it well! Happy he held his own against Geoff. Great content, and Geoff wasn't trying to take advantage of him.
Love the kid. He's got a story in how he got started & the money needed to start at that caliber. Talking $20,k is not a big deal. Sure it's gotta do with parents but would like to hear the story.
The look on Jacks face when Geoff is talking 7.18 multipliers is awesome. It's the look of "cool story bro - you wanna trade or not. My collection is better than yours." Jack negotiated like a Saudi Oil Baron.
Except Jacks collection isnt better than Geoffs. Geoff just dropped a couple hundred thousand on a set. 86 Fleer every card auto'd plus a 1/1 David Stern auto Checklist. Geoff has millions tied up in cards.
The first time I REALLY wanted to follow someone on Instagram and, of course, he doesn't have one. Congrats on the collection! Great long-term cards in that case.
I started collecting cards when I was ten, and always took care of them. I now have some of the rarest cards in the world in amazing condition. I don’t really know much about the cards I have, but I took them to a pawn shop and 10 of them were worth $463,000.
It’s ok, you just need to stumble upon $800k like this kid and you’ll get there... 😂... But honestly though that sepia Tatis rookie will be worth thousands upon thousands one day. Hold tight to any Tatis you rookies you have.
After being so isolated and not going to shows - it was thrilling to have the feeling of being there - the stand off between the trade and the anticipation was epic !! Still can’t believe you didn’t own any Brady’s - catastrophic fail - but you’ve made up for it in so many other ways !! Great stuff Geoff!
Kid is the Benjamin Kicks of sports cards. Needs his own brand with IG and TH-cam. SCI do some collab vids with him. Kids a phenom and we all wanna follow his collecting journey. Glad u found him. Can’t hate the hustle regardless of how he got the $.
Wow, that kid has an amazing collection. I’ve really been enjoying your channel Geoff, I collected sets when I was younger over a decade ago and just got back into the hobby as I found my old collection last month and have been binging your channel. I have the orange refractor version of the “chalk toss” (2008 Chrome Lebron card) that he has. Going to go to a local card shop next week to send it in to PSA, crossing my fingers for a PSA10. One question/request… I noticed on your sports card investor app you don’t have the orange version of the chalk toss. You have about 4 variations of the chalk toss but not the orange refractor - I’m not sure if that’s because it’s too rare but if I may make a request, I would love for you guys to add that on the app! Thanks so much for your content, really helpful for those getting back into the hobby! - Bijan
I remember going to tons of card shows in the 90’s with a few hundred dollars in my pocket and came home with a nice stack of cards. Is it just me or do I need enough money to buy a car to buy some decent cards these days.
@D. John There is always deals like that.It comes down to how legit the player is too. I bought a Patrick Marleau card for around $25 5 years ago and it is worth around $200 now.The difference being he broke a record during that time and the hobby exploded.Had he not broke that record his card would be wroth maybe $100 I assume at most. I bought 2 1972 Topps #310 Roberto Clemente In Action Pirates HOF PSA 9 OC for around $40 each. On ebay the psa 8 sells for $300 to $500 at the highest and no 9 or 10 has been sold in 3 months. You are right though some of the most mass produced cards that sell for $200 now you would never think you would see the day and some still do not. One example of that is my 1991 Topps Stadium Club Brett Favre #94 RC Rookie PSA 9.That card is LUCKY to sell for $100 today.5 years ago I probably paid around $40 and even with that explosion the card barely went up in value.
SCI got quantity and quality which is why I like his trade, but a very fair trade. He lost Kobe even though it is low-pop, only Kobe collectors wants that card. Some cards are low-pop for a reason because it isn't a rookie card, or not a superb pictured card. Overall, millionaire kid added value to his pc collection and so did SCI improving his value on the trade. Thanks for showing, now I need to sell my grail and be like that kid in my dream.
I hope collectors realize we're going to have a "junk PSA era" if collectors continue to get cards with high pops graded.. I mean market corrections will be made. Either the raw cards will go up to match the value of PSA 9's and 10's or the graded cards themselves will fall... When it comes to some cards the rule is a PSA 9 or 10 not the exception..
@@Hero-3 Of course not with every card, however we have a significant issue in the hobby with fools getting modern junk graded and selling the junk at a premium. Look, a pack fresh modern card is expected to be a gem-mint card, and I don't need PSA to confirm that the $5 dollar card I just pulled out of a pack and put directly into a top loader is a gem mint card all for the low price of $20 bucks and a nice holder... PSA cant just make a raw $5 dollar card - which should be gem-mint - worth $100 bucks based purely on their confirmation. It doesn't make any sense - the card SHOULD grade a 9 or 10 so how does that make the card scarce or significant or belong to a special club?.. I mean PSA 9's and 10's are absolutely common when it comes to modern cards, they've become the rule and not the exception so a modern raw card valued at $5 dollars shouldn't get a significant premium or multiplier just to confirm what is expected.. Nor would any actual experienced collector pay $100 bucks for a modern card valued at $5 bucks raw... I mean in just about every situation a card should be valued at the cost of the grading fee in mid-grade (more like a 7/8) alone to justify having the card graded otherwise it's a lotto ticket, and unfortunately too many "collectors" like to play the lotto, and both the winning tickets and losing tickets physically exist and are flooding the market, I mean from an economic perspective at least you can throw away a losing lotto ticket, lol - no one is going to throw a card away - even if it got a disappointing grade... Look, my point is that the market is absolutely saturated with cheap modern graded cards - cards that should obviously be gem-mint that are being invested in heavily and this junk that gets a 9 or 10 has absolutely no business whatsoever fetching the premiums they do, and they're only fetching the premiums they do because there are a bunch of casual collectors and investors that are paying these premiums.. I mean no experienced collector is ever going to pay $100 bucks for a modern base card valued at $5 bucks raw which graded to a PSA 10, and sooner or later there will be a market correction reflecting that... And don't get me wrong, there are plenty of cards where it makes absolute sense to have them graded, however the grading fee alone shouldn't play a role in the cards value.. I mean if you have a rare modern card with significant value you should get it graded to validate it's authenticity - not the grade, and in most cases significantly valued cards are rare cards and it's the rarity of those cards that dictates the value and the grade plays little to no role whatsoever when it comes to modern cards.. Look, if you have say a 2021 Donruss Ryne Sanberg Patch Auto - serial numbered 1/15 then there is absolutely no difference between a PSA 8, 9 or 10 because the card is so rare that if you really wanted the card then that grade isn't going to dictate how much you are willing to pay for it - that all goes out the window because when a card is serial numbered xx/15 beggars cant be picky - when you have an opportunity to buy a card that rare and you can afford it then you buy it and grade doesn't dictate it's value, it's rarity does. Now of course it makes plenty of sense to have vintage cards graded, because obviously grade is pretty much all that matters when it comes to vintage. I mean clearly the older the cards are the lower the average grade is going to be and the more scarce they will become, so obviously a vintage card that grades a PSA 9 will hold significant value when the average grade from the set is a 6.5 - not just because of the rarity but the demand for any high grade vintage card - common, star, superstar or HOF'er it really doesn't matter because there will always be a premium added to the card, and then the star power and popularity of the card and player will add value... Of course this is why high grade commons are in demand - it's the grade that makes the commons valuable - not the name. And look, If you really want to make bank on cards and you're confident in your grading abilities then you can make some serious money just finding vintage commons, having them graded and auctioning them off... What I do, I'll buy anything vintage commons, stars - just as long as it's pre-1980 I'll buy it at the right price then I will go though it all, look at the pop reports and grade and focus on those 2 factors alone.. I mean of course it's always fun to pull vintage superstar HOF'ers regardless of the grade, but some of those commons in high grade can be worth more than some of these superstars in the same exact grade, and a lot of collectors don't know that. So yea, you can make a living buying and selling commons alone... Also, those that are looking for high grade commons have more than enough money to spend, I mean you have to have money to even attempt to put a high grade er PSA 9 or 10 vintage set together. I mean if you're in that position to even attempt it then it's clearly about the challenge and not the money, lol - so yea these "high rollers" have no issue with paying $$$$ for commons - yes 4 figures for some....
Do you recommend I check the pop reports always before I buy cards? My sons are really into it and I’m starting to get into it. We do it mainly for fun but I also want to be smart about it.
@@philsbarbershop4229 Well it really depends on the card(s), era and your intent. Are you collecting, investing, flipping? I mean outside of collecting and flipping I personally would stay away from anything slabbed from the "junk wax era" - at least the "common" stuff because their values are not sustainable long-term at all considering 95% of copies are unslabbed and 90% of those that have been slabbed are in high grade - also those pop reports will certainly continue to rise over time as more and more of them are slabbed, and most will grade out to PSA 9's and 10.. Unfortunately junk wax cards are a dime a dozen and junk wax era product is more than abundant but if you're talking vintage or other scarce sets, yea I would certainly pay attention to pop reports - but just about anything desirable post 1980 is generally high grade to begin with and overproduced.. When it comes to modern cards (post 2000), look keep in mind they're much more scarce than junk wax era products however, like junk wax era products the strong majority will grade 9 and 10, but vintage is a different animal - vintage is where professional grading and pop reports matter, because back in the day cards weren't manufactured as collectibles or investments - they were toys and like toys many were lost or destroyed over the years - not only that but cards of star players were popular back in the day hence frequently traded hence abused so anything vintage and in high grade - especially stars/hall of famers is gold.. What's high grade? well IMO, an average card should grade to it's year, so a 1960 Topps for example should grade a PSA 6, a 1965 Topps a PSA 6.5, 1970 a PSA 7 and so on.. So anything graded higher than it's year is very desirable hence money in the bank (even commons), and pop reports matter because some cards are "short prints" (SP) meaning they're far more scarce than others of the same set, and some cards have "running printing flaws" - meaning the strong majority of that particular card share a common flaw, whether it's centering or a print anomaly etc so finding a high grade copy of that card is almost impossible - the 1979 Topps Ozzie Smith Rookie is a fantastic example of this phenomena - that card is seriously impossible to find centered or close to centered and there are only a few PSA 9's and 10's because of it... So if you're investing vintage is always fun but pop reports matter significantly more than modern or junk wax era cards. So yea, pop reports do matter depending on the era, product and card - but like I said - keep in mind that when it comes to junk wax era and modern cards there are still tons and tons and tons of them out there and the pop reports are going to continue to grow and as they grow obviously supply and demand will dictate their value.. I mean serial numbered cards are the way to go because you know how many of them have been produced and obviously the lower the better - but again I would certainly reference the pop reports even on serial numbered cards just to see what the average grade is on the particular card because there could be common flaws and a high grade copy could be exceptional... Look, just keep in mind that supply and demand determines a cards value, and keep in mind that when it comes to junk wax era and modern product the overwhelming majority will be high grade - PSA 9/10, however vintage is a whole different ball game, no pun intended.... Thanks for the reply and good luck!
If I were still collecting cards, I would dump all of those expensive shiny modern cards (especially the early players who haven't proven anything over a career) and buy old cards (Ruth, Cobb, Mays, Mantle etc). The modern stuff always loses its value when the hype is over, while the old stuff ages like fine wine. I've seen this before. Just some advice from an old dude.
I think that wade is a great long term pick up but that hurts to trade the Kobe. Great content I’d enjoy seeing you keep making these last two videos or similar.
Done scientifically, this was great. But, what didn't come into this very much is that typically with a trade, at least one of the people has an emotional motivation for wanting the card, and that tips the scales bc that person is at a disadvantage. Where it helps is if that emotional tie is shared by other collectors so that the card increases in value.
Love these Making Deals video Geoff! Keep it up. Maan also love seeing 15 year old Jack making you sweat...lol.. Just suggestion: it would be nice to show the people's link on the screen when your giving them a shout out rather than just saying it..
I have at least 500k cards sitting in a a few totes in my dad's attic. I grew up in Chicago in the 80's and most of my cards are Jordan's. I might have to go see what I have:)

That was so ridiculous , there is no flipping to achieve that collection in that small of time
@@dr.fauci_tortured_n_killed5034 I know,...Unless he somehow started with a graded jordan rookie already
That kid has a killer collection...keep it up great content
Great timing, just finished pt 1!!
Always a good day when sports card investor posts
Especially twice in one day
@@natedo8837 no kidding 😂
Love this. Need more content like this on your channel. It’s a nice change
More of these please 🔥🔥
Nice
Geoff I have a 2014 Immaculate premium patch #49 of Tom Brady auto BGS-9
That I need to move!
Bro 15 I was happy to rip just 1991 Fleer Basketball packs 😂 unbelievable collection he has 😳
After being so isolated and not going to shows - it was thrilling to have the feeling of being there - the stand off between the trade and the anticipation was epic !! Still can’t believe you didn’t own any Brady’s - catastrophic fail - but you’ve made up for it in so many other ways !! Great stuff Geoff!
Great video! Got a real sense of the energy and how much fun everyone was having at the show.
SCI is about to completely take over now. Love it man.
The Tony Hawk card was a nice pickup!
Kid is the Benjamin Kicks of sports cards. Needs his own brand with IG and TH-cam. SCI do some collab vids with him. Kids a phenom and we all wanna follow his collecting journey. Glad u found him. Can’t hate the hustle regardless of how he got the $.
GREAT 2ND VID GEOFF GET THAT FIRRRRRRE..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That was cool! I enjoyed it. The trade part was great, kid is awesome
Awesome video. What site did you look at to see what the latest amount a card was selling for?

@@SportsCardInvestor can you respond please
@@nidalabdelhady8895 he did
These two have been probably your best videos yet mate, excellent work! More like this would be welcomed :) Keep doing what you do.
I love watching these guys throw around values that have tanked so low since
Great video Geoff!! Awesome negotiation with Jack!!
Awesome video! Thanks so much for getting all this footage, makes for a great experience for the subscriber like me!
Goodness gracious - what an impressive young man! I enjoyed this.
Wow, amazing collection kid!
One of the best videos in awhile, I loved it. Thanks
Wow, that kid has an amazing collection. I’ve really been enjoying your channel Geoff, I collected sets when I was younger over a decade ago and just got back into the hobby as I found my old collection last month and have been binging your channel. I have the orange refractor version of the “chalk toss” (2008 Chrome Lebron card) that he has. Going to go to a local card shop next week to send it in to PSA, crossing my fingers for a PSA10.
One question/request… I noticed on your sports card investor app you don’t have the orange version of the chalk toss. You have about 4 variations of the chalk toss but not the orange refractor - I’m not sure if that’s because it’s too rare but if I may make a request, I would love for you guys to add that on the app! Thanks so much for your content, really helpful for those getting back into the hobby!
- Bijan
Yeah might be a little too rare for us to have it in there, but I’ll ask the team about adding it
Very cool 2 part video.....For that kid to be doing that in the hobby is 🔥🔥🔥.
The Lebron of the sports card hobby, a high school phenom already dominating the league
All this envy from grown ass adults speculating where he got his cards from, absolutely ridiculous.
Awesome how you treated that kid. Keep up the good videos!
I may have sold most of my collection in 2013 but my $DOGE has now given me the ability to buy them back!
Great video definitely looking to go to some card shows in the future. Hobby keeps going up 🔥
Killer collection, would love to have some of those cards.
this is incredible content, keep these coming
I need a lucky break with my investments so I can go full on into card investing!
I’m in awe of this guys videos.
I remember going to tons of card shows in the 90’s with a few hundred dollars in my pocket and came home with a nice stack of cards. Is it just me or do I need enough money to buy a car to buy some decent cards these days.
Define decent?
You can get decent cards for $200.
@D. John There is always deals like that.It comes down to how legit the player is too.
I bought a Patrick Marleau card for around $25 5 years ago and it is worth around $200 now.The difference being he broke a record during that time and the hobby exploded.Had he not broke that record his card would be wroth maybe $100 I assume at most.
I bought 2 1972 Topps #310 Roberto Clemente In Action Pirates HOF PSA 9 OC for around $40 each.
On ebay the psa 8 sells for $300 to $500 at the highest and no 9 or 10 has been sold in 3 months.
You are right though some of the most mass produced cards that sell for $200 now you would never think you would see the day and some still do not.
One example of that is my 1991 Topps Stadium Club Brett Favre #94 RC Rookie PSA 9.That card is LUCKY to sell for $100 today.5 years ago I probably paid around $40 and even with that explosion the card barely went up in value.
Gotta love seeing these big trade deals go down
SCI got quantity and quality which is why I like his trade, but a very fair trade. He lost Kobe even though it is low-pop, only Kobe collectors wants that card. Some cards are low-pop for a reason because it isn't a rookie card, or not a superb pictured card. Overall, millionaire kid added value to his pc collection and so did SCI improving his value on the trade. Thanks for showing, now I need to sell my grail and be like that kid in my dream.
Man I live in Miami I just realized that you went to that card show and today it was the last day!
Love this kid. Reminds me of a younger me!
I hope collectors realize we're going to have a "junk PSA era" if collectors continue to get cards with high pops graded.. I mean market corrections will be made. Either the raw cards will go up to match the value of PSA 9's and 10's or the graded cards themselves will fall... When it comes to some cards the rule is a PSA 9 or 10 not the exception..
Agree w the pop. That shouldn’t way heavily on every card. Some cards yes but not every card.
@@Hero-3 Of course not with every card, however we have a significant issue in the hobby with fools getting modern junk graded and selling the junk at a premium. Look, a pack fresh modern card is expected to be a gem-mint card, and I don't need PSA to confirm that the $5 dollar card I just pulled out of a pack and put directly into a top loader is a gem mint card all for the low price of $20 bucks and a nice holder... PSA cant just make a raw $5 dollar card - which should be gem-mint - worth $100 bucks based purely on their confirmation. It doesn't make any sense - the card SHOULD grade a 9 or 10 so how does that make the card scarce or significant or belong to a special club?.. I mean PSA 9's and 10's are absolutely common when it comes to modern cards, they've become the rule and not the exception so a modern raw card valued at $5 dollars shouldn't get a significant premium or multiplier just to confirm what is expected.. Nor would any actual experienced collector pay $100 bucks for a modern card valued at $5 bucks raw... I mean in just about every situation a card should be valued at the cost of the grading fee in mid-grade (more like a 7/8) alone to justify having the card graded otherwise it's a lotto ticket, and unfortunately too many "collectors" like to play the lotto, and both the winning tickets and losing tickets physically exist and are flooding the market, I mean from an economic perspective at least you can throw away a losing lotto ticket, lol - no one is going to throw a card away - even if it got a disappointing grade...
Look, my point is that the market is absolutely saturated with cheap modern graded cards - cards that should obviously be gem-mint that are being invested in heavily and this junk that gets a 9 or 10 has absolutely no business whatsoever fetching the premiums they do, and they're only fetching the premiums they do because there are a bunch of casual collectors and investors that are paying these premiums.. I mean no experienced collector is ever going to pay $100 bucks for a modern base card valued at $5 bucks raw which graded to a PSA 10, and sooner or later there will be a market correction reflecting that...
And don't get me wrong, there are plenty of cards where it makes absolute sense to have them graded, however the grading fee alone shouldn't play a role in the cards value.. I mean if you have a rare modern card with significant value you should get it graded to validate it's authenticity - not the grade, and in most cases significantly valued cards are rare cards and it's the rarity of those cards that dictates the value and the grade plays little to no role whatsoever when it comes to modern cards.. Look, if you have say a 2021 Donruss Ryne Sanberg Patch Auto - serial numbered 1/15 then there is absolutely no difference between a PSA 8, 9 or 10 because the card is so rare that if you really wanted the card then that grade isn't going to dictate how much you are willing to pay for it - that all goes out the window because when a card is serial numbered xx/15 beggars cant be picky - when you have an opportunity to buy a card that rare and you can afford it then you buy it and grade doesn't dictate it's value, it's rarity does.
Now of course it makes plenty of sense to have vintage cards graded, because obviously grade is pretty much all that matters when it comes to vintage. I mean clearly the older the cards are the lower the average grade is going to be and the more scarce they will become, so obviously a vintage card that grades a PSA 9 will hold significant value when the average grade from the set is a 6.5 - not just because of the rarity but the demand for any high grade vintage card - common, star, superstar or HOF'er it really doesn't matter because there will always be a premium added to the card, and then the star power and popularity of the card and player will add value... Of course this is why high grade commons are in demand - it's the grade that makes the commons valuable - not the name. And look, If you really want to make bank on cards and you're confident in your grading abilities then you can make some serious money just finding vintage commons, having them graded and auctioning them off...
What I do, I'll buy anything vintage commons, stars - just as long as it's pre-1980 I'll buy it at the right price then I will go though it all, look at the pop reports and grade and focus on those 2 factors alone.. I mean of course it's always fun to pull vintage superstar HOF'ers regardless of the grade, but some of those commons in high grade can be worth more than some of these superstars in the same exact grade, and a lot of collectors don't know that. So yea, you can make a living buying and selling commons alone... Also, those that are looking for high grade commons have more than enough money to spend, I mean you have to have money to even attempt to put a high grade er PSA 9 or 10 vintage set together. I mean if you're in that position to even attempt it then it's clearly about the challenge and not the money, lol - so yea these "high rollers" have no issue with paying $$$$ for commons - yes 4 figures for some....
@@Swoop187OG187 agree with everything you stated.
Do you recommend I check the pop reports always before I buy cards? My sons are really into it and I’m starting to get into it. We do it mainly for fun but I also want to be smart about it.
@@philsbarbershop4229 Well it really depends on the card(s), era and your intent. Are you collecting, investing, flipping? I mean outside of collecting and flipping I personally would stay away from anything slabbed from the "junk wax era" - at least the "common" stuff because their values are not sustainable long-term at all considering 95% of copies are unslabbed and 90% of those that have been slabbed are in high grade - also those pop reports will certainly continue to rise over time as more and more of them are slabbed, and most will grade out to PSA 9's and 10.. Unfortunately junk wax cards are a dime a dozen and junk wax era product is more than abundant but if you're talking vintage or other scarce sets, yea I would certainly pay attention to pop reports - but just about anything desirable post 1980 is generally high grade to begin with and overproduced.. When it comes to modern cards (post 2000), look keep in mind they're much more scarce than junk wax era products however, like junk wax era products the strong majority will grade 9 and 10, but vintage is a different animal - vintage is where professional grading and pop reports matter, because back in the day cards weren't manufactured as collectibles or investments - they were toys and like toys many were lost or destroyed over the years - not only that but cards of star players were popular back in the day hence frequently traded hence abused so anything vintage and in high grade - especially stars/hall of famers is gold.. What's high grade? well IMO, an average card should grade to it's year, so a 1960 Topps for example should grade a PSA 6, a 1965 Topps a PSA 6.5, 1970 a PSA 7 and so on.. So anything graded higher than it's year is very desirable hence money in the bank (even commons), and pop reports matter because some cards are "short prints" (SP) meaning they're far more scarce than others of the same set, and some cards have "running printing flaws" - meaning the strong majority of that particular card share a common flaw, whether it's centering or a print anomaly etc so finding a high grade copy of that card is almost impossible - the 1979 Topps Ozzie Smith Rookie is a fantastic example of this phenomena - that card is seriously impossible to find centered or close to centered and there are only a few PSA 9's and 10's because of it... So if you're investing vintage is always fun but pop reports matter significantly more than modern or junk wax era cards.
So yea, pop reports do matter depending on the era, product and card - but like I said - keep in mind that when it comes to junk wax era and modern cards there are still tons and tons and tons of them out there and the pop reports are going to continue to grow and as they grow obviously supply and demand will dictate their value.. I mean serial numbered cards are the way to go because you know how many of them have been produced and obviously the lower the better - but again I would certainly reference the pop reports even on serial numbered cards just to see what the average grade is on the particular card because there could be common flaws and a high grade copy could be exceptional...
Look, just keep in mind that supply and demand determines a cards value, and keep in mind that when it comes to junk wax era and modern product the overwhelming majority will be high grade - PSA 9/10, however vintage is a whole different ball game, no pun intended.... Thanks for the reply and good luck!
If I were still collecting cards, I would dump all of those expensive shiny modern cards (especially the early players who haven't proven anything over a career) and buy old cards (Ruth, Cobb, Mays, Mantle etc). The modern stuff always loses its value when the hype is over, while the old stuff ages like fine wine. I've seen this before. Just some advice from an old dude.
I think that wade is a great long term pick up but that hurts to trade the Kobe. Great content I’d enjoy seeing you keep making these last two videos or similar.
Done scientifically, this was great. But, what didn't come into this very much is that typically with a trade, at least one of the people has an emotional motivation for wanting the card, and that tips the scales bc that person is at a disadvantage. Where it helps is if that emotional tie is shared by other collectors so that the card increases in value.
Love these Making Deals video Geoff! Keep it up. Maan also love seeing 15 year old Jack making you sweat...lol.. Just suggestion: it would be nice to show the people's link on the screen when your giving them a shout out rather than just saying it..
i love ur videos i hope to be making the same deals one day. Thanks for being the best youtuber.
I have at least 500k cards sitting in a a few totes in my dad's attic. I grew up in Chicago in the 80's and most of my cards are Jordan's. I might have to go see what I have:)
