Top 5 Sports Cards To Buy Now, Grade And Sell

Top 5 Cards To Buy Raw, Grade & Sell

We want you to make money flipping sports cards! While many of our recommendations are around buying an already graded card at the right time and flipping it during a selling marker, often times we like to find opportunities to double down and buy the right raw cards for the right player at the right time to give some more upside during the selling marker by trying to achieve that elusive PSA 10 grade.

We've found 6 cards (our top 5 plus an honorable mention), that we feel fit the bill of buying the right raw cards for the right players at the right time. Speaking of timing, keep in mind when grading cards that you need to allow for a couple things.

  1. Make sure you have at least 30-45 days to get your cards back before needing to sell them / list them for sale
  2. Make sure you have at least 20 cards to submit to PSA to achieve the $19/card bulk value submission rate, and that you're prepared to spend just under $600 on the total grading fee

The following cards allow for high floor (meaning a PSA 9 would allow you to break even or still profit), and an extremely high ceiling sales price for a PSA 10, enough time to get your cards back before the selling marker, and a pretty solid Gem Rate (rate of PSA 10s per GemRate.com).
