How To Run A Presale On eBay, Grade Topps NOW Autos? How To Improve Your eBay Sales: Premium Podcast NoOffseason.com, September 13, 2024
In this episode of The Premium Pod, we help premium members make money flipping sports cards.
We answer these questions and more...
Taking into consideration the right players, and the right cards, is it too soon to start listing basketball cards as BIN listings?
I know you don't recommend buying wax. But do you think that buying Hobby Boxes (and the like), of Bowman U Chrome Football/Basketball, can be a strategy for player prospecting?
Is my play with a Puka Nacua Hyper Blue Optic PSA 10 the same as with the Silver PSA 10? Do I try to dump now or hold and sell on performance spike?
When I look at the other sports that I've participated in (NFL, NBA, MLB), the gains haven't been nearly as strong or predictable as NCAAFB.
So my question to you is whether you think it's wise to focus exclusively on NCAAFB cards and ignore the others for the most part?
I recently submitted about 3700 cards to COMC. These are mostly inserts, parallels, rookies and #d cards. I would think most are only worth 1-10 bucks. Some may be worth less than $1. These were cards that were not good enough to list on eBay (in my opinion) and I didn’t want to put in that much work to sell a $1 card.
I’ve heard you guys recommend COMC for getting of bulk low dollar cards. Do you still think it’s a good move?
Have you ever sent a PSA order to California and it was shipped back to you from New Jersey?
Are you starting those auctions at a specific time so they end at an optimal time? Or are you just making them live at that moment? I’m always big on starting my auctions at 8 or 9 eastern time so they end around that time 7-10 days later. Would you do the same for these football cards? Thanks!
I have over 400 cards coming back from PSA in October. Many of these are from your plays. Do you see any value in setting up a table at a local card show with this inventory or stick to listing on ebay to take advantage of performance spikes?
Caitlin Clark has a few more Panini Instant cards that are out. One of them has a RB shield opposite of the RC shield. Are any of these a play right now? Thoughts on grading these?
Is it worth grading Topps now draft autos?
If so, should I be grading the card, the auto or both?
Are there any cards worth selling in November and December?
How can I improve my eBay selling strategy?
What is the best method to sell? I get the timing around a performance spike, but auction vs BIN isn't always clear. If a player spikes, will a 10-day auction give too much time for him to cool down, exit news cycle, etc.?
For your 21 Caitlin Clark PSA cards did you send them all together in 1 submission or did you break them up into 2 or 3 submissions just in case you get stuck with a tough grader. What are your thoughts on submitting several of the same cards in an order - do you have a limit to the number of same cards you would submit in a single submission? thanks!

Great show guys!!!!
Thanks Sean!
A little advice on the presales, create a shipping policy specifically for presales and increase your handling time. I usually set the handling time to 30 days. This way you don’t have to print your labels, and it allows for the shipping times from Panini or Topps.
Great idea and great advice! Thanks so much Jason! Really appreciate it man.
