How To Make Money Buying Already Graded Cards Of Top QBs – $1k Budget Builder
I’m a big fan of selling football cards in August to avoid injury risk, but only those that I’m up on after buying throughout the off-season. Then, there’s the strategy of buying top quarterbacks in early August in the hopes of seeing their cards rise in value in September / October due to increased media attention, recency bias, and possible performance spikes. But at NoOffseason.com, we don’t hope anymore, we use The Formula. After running hundreds of rookie cards from the top NFL signal callers through the formula, we have some new recommendations for you to make 4-6 week quick flips on. So, what top QB cards should we buy, and at what target price? Let’s dig in. Want The Rest Of This Article? We Don’t Blame You! Go Premium!

Narrowing Your Focus To CJ Stroud & Victor Wembanyama – $1k Budget Builder
Narrowing your focus is extremely important for sports card investors. To become a successful sports card flipper and consistently make money on sports cards, you can’t spread yourself too thin into multiple players at any given time. If you’ve listened to the Sports Card Strategy Show often, and taken Sports Card School, you’ve likely heard me mention the fact that it always makes sense to go back and buy a previous release after a new release comes out – and you’ve read the Guideline “buy a top player’s rookie card 3-4 months after all of their rookie cards have hit the market.” The reason behind this is simple. As more supply of a player’s card hits the market and demand stays the same, prices drop. Each year, a pattern repeats itself for the top football and basketball rookies. When Optic comes out, Prizm prices drop. While people start to chase Optic (the latest release), Prizm’s…

Sports Card Sell Alert! Paul Skenes, Rece Hinds & More!
I’ve learned that selling sports cards in general, let alone at the right time, is way harder than buying the right cards for the right player at the right time. If you’re nervous about auctioning off your cards, I’m here to help. Data on our weekly sell alert articles show cards with the most reasons to list right away in 7-10 day auctions. This time of year (mid-July), you’re typically going to see performance spikes from MLB stars with the most pricing increase, and that is true this week. I wrote earlier this week about how Paul Skenes is both a Sell and a Buy right now, depending on whether you’re holding raw or graded cards of his. Additionally, Rece Hinds is up HUGE and it’s time to take the profits. If you have any of the following cards, now is the time to list in 7 or 10 day auctions on eBay or try…
How To Both Buy & Sell Paul Skenes At The Same Time – $1k Budget Builder
We’re in a unique situation with Pirates young phenom pitcher Paul Skenes. Not only have the rookie RHP’s cards skyrocketed in value over the last few weeks, proving our formula-based sports card rankings extremely helpful in making us some immense profits, but several of his cards still make a ton of sense to buy raw and grade at PSA – quickly of course – to get them back by early September and sell as he makes a run at NL Rookie of the Year, and possibly even the Cy Young award. So while it makes sense to sell Skenes’ graded cards that we bought courtesy of The Formula a couple months ago, like these over the last 14 days… …let’s dig into some more Raw To Grade Skenes opportunities to move it right away! After all, one of my top sports card philosophies is that if you pick the right cards for the right player,…
