Great video. Just subbed to your channel. This is why I don’t pay secondary prices. If I find in wild, I’ll get a box or just get what I want on eBay. Hopefully the insane flipping prices drop some Thanks for sharing! God Bless!
People need to know anytime you open wax the odds of you making money is slim to none. There’s a big misconception with newcomers coming into the hobby thinking you NEED to open packs to make $. It just won’t happen 90% of the time
@@loganthompson9368 I made almost $10,000 selling raw cards on eBay in 2020 😂 and I pay resale on everything I open. You don’t have to grade anything to make money
Don’t forget to deduct your selling fees on eBay. At least it’s a tax loss because next year eBay is required to send 1099s to everyone who sells more than $600!
This simple economics. If we could make a "profit" from every box..or even 50% of the boxes...the manufactures would raise the price. They only make money by producing more cards.
👍 Norman Peale famously said change your thoughts and you change your world. A smart guy @evenkingsfall (his insta) always says you have to THINK BIG to WIN BIG! Always keep that vision! Onwards and upwards 🙏
so what youre saying is you only rip once a month? because unless you know the vendor personally, catching retail restocks is very slim at the moment and the stores make it a joke
@@originalkama lol. I wish I knew the vendor. I have been lucky in the past, catching them once in a while. But its definitely been a slow March. I think my luck is based that I live in a very small market.
@@Venison0010 yeah retail has not been nice to me so I pretty much gave up, considering employees can’t tell you anything. I’m starting to legit think there is an inside job within the employees and vendors. Every time I go and they can’t tell me anything or that the “vendor didn’t come in today” I’m so close to just cussing them out. That’s how toxic this whole situation the hobby is in right now.
@@originalkama i definitely think that's the case in some situations. If a vendor actually stocks, they need to unwrap the case out of its plastic wrap. I consistently see sealed retail cases in ebay and mercari and I know for a fact that stuff never made it to the floor. I only know because I've caught the vendor at my walmart a few times and he's shared information with me like that. At both my walmart and target they are now being allocated product because like I said, I live in a smaller market. Target employees where I live have been great. A few have even saved me a box or two from time to time knowing I'd be in to check. I make friendly conversation often. Walmart is a crap shoot. The only thing I know the guy does there is change his days he stocks to give everyone a chance. Either way, whoever sees it first buys the whole damn lot and it's frustrating. Ive been collecting way too long, to get shut out by these band wagon a hold. Like you, it's getting harder and harder to stay engaged. I hope the people who scoop up full shelves eventually get stuck with product they can't sell for profit.
@@Venison0010 exactly bro all facts! You’re lucky man, good luck to you and your collection man. Eventually I believe panini finally meets demand and doesn’t greed out, and then there can be cards in stock to actually get at retail price.
Actually it’s slowly getting back to as big as it was. Slowly but surely. The pandemic is really helping the sports cards collectors like myself. Just like how Pokémon is going up also but those Pokémon’s are money wasters unless you get those few Charizards lol 😂 But sports cards are starting to leave shelves more then ever now. When I started there were packs and boxes on the shelves more then what I wanted to get but when I went back in 3 days everything was gone lol 😂 I was pissed but that’s the game. So now when I see packs and boxes on the shelves I get as much as I can while not breaking the budget lol
I'll be glad when "not much there and ... PSA 9". Ya ever notice the guy in the PSA videos says "It's a PSA 9" etc... when the whole 35 minute video is about a PSA return. Yes we know! PSA. No need to say that.
Haha, man I thought I was the only one. Everyone and I mean literally everyone I've watched do box breaks will say "let's go" when they pull something nice. It's insane.
@@supersnappahead is it "insane"? truly, and utterly, insane? haha maybe you can see where i'm going with this and you'll be able to recognize your own hypocrisy without me needing to go much further. there's plenty more examples of annoying, sometimes "trendy" shit people say without even hardly realizing it, and you're a prime example here ironically LOL. thanks for the chuckle.
Just finished the video technically if it was bought at retail you're up like 2 dollars after taxes. Also that Ridley card was super clean but thats cause Im a Falcons fan
You want to make your money back but don’t want to put in the effort to sell everything you dont want keep for a PC. You have to sell it all to do that. List it all & it will sell. With the new standard envelope shipping no one wants to pay 4.45 shipping cost 4.99 free shipping it costs a mere .75 to ship a card
That Mega was pretty bad. The odds are you'll do much better with the next one. I've found 6 Target Megas and only opened 2. I hit very well in both of my rips. Hurts Silver, Tua Bronze, Love Silver, Tua Base, Mahomes Silver, and Devarnay Auto. That's like 260 or so raw right there and I purchased those at retail. So I'm up 160. If I sold both boxes, I'd have made 340-50 with ebay fees/taxes which is 290. If I grade those cards, my profits would quadruple, but I'd have to wait a yr, lol. Point is, only rip like 30% of what u buy. Add everything up and consider getting the good hits graded. Then sit on 30% of the product to invest. Then go ahead and resell 40% right away to make your profits to rinse and repeat. Or do what u want
You're falling into the gamblers fallacy with this logic, that's not good lol. Just because the first investment turns out to be poor, doesnt mean you double dip into the same loss, because you think it cant happen again. If you had bought your items at resale like 90% of the population you would understand that Edit: nvm, its impossible to find any mega boxes at retail your logic doesnt work unless you live in target
@@Grimwulf88 30 people wait at each of my targets and Walmarts. If you're a working man, it's nearly impossible to leave your job mid day to stand in line for this stuff.
I'd compare the current sales on Ebay for the 8/9/10s - amazing how much more value a Mint 10 will bring over a 9...double/triple the value if not more. Can't hurt to wait a year or two to fully know if the player becomes are 'sure-thing' - but grading seems to have become necessary for highly desired cards.
@@juanpovalle5063 I think cards are way over priced in my opinion.Optic cards are hot now because thats what is being released.For example,I pulled a zion silver mojo and Ja Morant purple disco from nba hoops premium stock when it was being released and they were selling on ebay for around 300 to 400 each and now I would be lucky to get 100 a piece.Now your card is numbered so not many printed so thats your advantage.If you dont need the cash and you are a collector get it graded and wait it out,but Burrow is not a sure thing,who knows what he will become.I would sell as is buy an already graded card of a young proven star and put some money in the bank.You have to decide whats best.
The thing nobody gets is retail is cheap for a reason. The reason people think there is money to flip boxes is because there’s not really shit in retail. Hobby is where the hits and good autos are. It’s not so easy to buy a hobby box and resell it🤷🏽♂️ nor do breaks with. I just can’t figure out why people pay resell on retail. Do people think that it’s only stocked in their Walmart,target and Meijer? Lol think about how many of those stores there are across the country and times that by 40+ per store then x’s 3-4 cause it normally runs for 3-4 weeks per store. The volume is astronomical. Flooded is an understatement. So retail is a bad way to do this video. Try a hobby box. If I was u I’d trade heavy on all that retail for hobby if u can find somebody willing to
The answer is a big NO. You can get lucky and rip a box with monster hits but 95% of the time, you will lose $. Especially if you buy these boxes at resell
He said he paid 175 each box 3x so that means it's not because of him, hes actually suffering like everyone so he pays over price for it, broke ass bums stop crying over not being able to afford cards and blaming this and that guy, sport card market up 60% and its going to keep getting more popular, all you long time collectors should be cashing in some nice cards from all these years but you guys are dumping out a ton of tears instead lmaooooo
You should make this a series and do each set and see which ones you can make profit from that box,cello,hanger etc.
that's actually a good idea lol
Plz make this a series
Can you show me some cards of the 49ers back in the 80s and 90s?
Suggestion buy basketball cards u will make a profit prob
To much of a gamble for me. I’d rather just hold, then flip it.
Still got that Darrell Taylor?
I love to
At the start what are the optic cello packs all together in that box called
Really loved this type of video of "can you make money" Hope this series continues! 👍🏼
lemme buy some hangers and a mega
Great video. Just subbed to your channel.

If you pay retail price you usually make your money back
Hello I am I big fan on tic tok I was one of your first 1000 followers I just want to say you are Amazing keep up the good work
Sad part is your breaking even if you paid retail prices with tax
People need to know anytime you open wax the odds of you making money is slim to none. There’s a big misconception with newcomers coming into the hobby thinking you NEED to open packs to make $. It just won’t happen 90% of the time
@@BASEBALLfreakFORlife only way to make money would be to open and grade stuff at hga or sgc or buy in cases
@@loganthompson9368 I made almost $10,000 selling raw cards on eBay in 2020 😂 and I pay resale on everything I open. You don’t have to grade anything to make money
Why does the mosaic look resealed?
Liked this type of video great job
More to come!
How much was the Calvin Ridley Jersey?
Thanks for the amazing videos!
Where'd u find em
Don’t forget to deduct your selling fees on eBay. At least it’s a tax loss because next year eBay is required to send 1099s to everyone who sells more than $600!
easy answer is NO...not without grading and waiting a year
The answer is no.the only people making money is the grading companies and panini
It's a hit or miss on pricing in my book. But that Calvin Ridley card looks nice. How much you charge for a hanger box or a team buy in
every single break I run is different I feel like depends how much product but team breaks usually $35-50
I opened a hanger and pulled a Prizm CeeDee Rated Rookie, Horoscope Pittman Rated Rookie, and a Black and White Herbert Rated Rookie...
This simple economics. If we could make a "profit" from every box..or even 50% of the boxes...the manufactures would raise the price. They only make money by producing more cards.
Buy singles of cards you like and you never lose
true

I openeed a downtown tom brady from a cello optic pack earlier today lmao
DO THIS WITH MOSAIC MEGA!!
I’m a huge Falcons and Ridley fan any chance I can get that off you?
Let me know what cards you need I got you 😁
No wonder I can't find these in local retail, you have them all.
When do they come out with new packs so you can get them at retail?
im gonna buy this rokie auto for 5 mybe 6 dolars couse i think its gonna be worth more in future
this is awesome series
Money can be made as long as you pay retail for it.
Great information!
Right...if your a drug dealer, don’t use your own product. Cards have the same addiction factor as drugs & gambling for a lot of people.
Nice upload!
nicee vid!
So uuhhh, you trying to move that Dobbins?
I always rip. But I also don’t pay eBay prices and just hope to get lucky on catching retail.

YOO

Do more of these

Is it safe to ship cards in an envelope?Don't want to have to deal with complaints and returns.
Antonio Torres yes it is. They come with tracking. I’ve sent out about 1000 with no complaints

Good way to make money if you get it retail, if you buy it for 50 it’s a good deal not resale
If u paid 50 from walmart u woulda been alright.these retail box breakers are killing the hobby
Keep grinding stud
But I don’t do it for the money I do it for the fun and I like collecting them. I understand invest is totally differentZ
how much you lookin for that bronze Dobbins? need one for my pc
Is it worth getting rookies PSA certified? Does that raise value for 9 or Mint 10.
