Today we’re going to touch on questions from members: Joe Terry (X2) Eli Mason Terry Dylan Myke (X2) Carmele Jason Ken Mike Eric James Sam Wesley Dean Eli Benny Mike Hunter Cooper Daniel If I have purchased 4 of a particular card, should I split these into separate PSA orders to improve my probabilities of gemming? A guy I sold to on Facebook reached out about an 85 star Jordan card 101. I offered to get it graded and consign to sell. I just wanted your opinion on legitimacy. Picked up a Jalen Hurts Disco Prizm PSA 8. The main issue is the print line across the middle of the card. This card raw is more than PSA 8 which could make this a solid graded to raw play. Would you agree? Hit this Rookie Deca Auto Booklet out of Triple Threads in a break. Should I hold or sell? Bought four Roman Anthony Sterling…
Top Sports Card Plays – Sports Card Buy Alert!
As many of you already know, we have the best Sports Card Rankings anywhere on the planet to help you make money flipping sports cards. That said, sometimes we wait to add certain cards into the rankings until the market settles. This is because when new cards come out, typically they dip in value, and in order to actually make money, you have to be super fast buying the best raw versions, submitting to PSA for grading, and listing right away in auctions. I typically live by the sports card investing principle “don’t buy a player’s rookie cards until all of them have hit the market and the market has settled.” That said, two of the five players I’ve picked to invest in this year are Caitlin Clark and Arch Manning. The following cards make sense to pursue in auctions, submit to PSA and flip. Both should sell very well this Spring, Summer and Fall…
