    Great video! One thing I’ve learned and would add…eBay is obviously a great place to buy singles, but it’s also the way collectors value a cards worth (by looking at how much a card has recently sold for). So if you get a good deal for a card on eBay, ultimately you just lowered its value a bit as well. This is why I try to finds deals at cards shows or other websites. Unfortunately there isn’t a Becket magazine anymore like we had in the 90’s lol

    The one thing most people don't know is that in Prizm the Green Parallel is more rare than the Silver. Basically there are less Green than Silver..but like you said, the Silver is more shiner.. more appealing to the eye.
    Green parallel is cool if you get players from the Celtics, Bucks, Philly Eagles, ect.
    I think if people realized that the Green is more rare I still don't think it would be matter...the Silver is just to appealing..and by now it would be hard to convince people otherwise.

    • @TheComebackCardInvestor
      @TheComebackCardInvestor  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey E man. Great point. Green prizm is personally one of the least desirable parallels for me UNLESS it's one of those green jersey teams like you mention. Seeing a Chicago Bulls player in a green prizm is like looking at an ugly Christmas sweater lol

    @chonger Před 3 lety +21

    great tips, i am just starting to get into this hobby. i find this very nostalgic of when i used to collect baseball cards as a kid. just wondering cuz you mentioned to focus on buying rookie cards, but what about also buying cards when a player changes teams (i.e lebrons first year in a laker jersey)?

    • @TheComebackCardInvestor
      @TheComebackCardInvestor  Před 3 lety +6

      Hey Chonger. Welcome and great question. 1st year jersey cards definitely attract some interest, but not nearly as easy to determine as RCs. Lebron/AD 1st year Lakers cards skyrocketed in July/August but have cooled tremendously. While I expect them to hold some long term value because they actually won, thus building their legacy in LA, I see them as better short term flip opportunities, especially because the players may not win a championship (Kawhi with the Clippers, KD with Brooklyn, etc)

    • @ryandenslow8225
      @ryandenslow8225 Před 3 lety

      Too add to this...I think it depends on the team they go too. Lakers are one of the more Iconic franchises in all of sports. Honestly I think it comes down to two things. One, does the player have an individual fan base (ie. Lebron Fans compared to Cavalier fans) and also how popular the franchise is. Think Lakers, Yankees, Celtics...those kinda teams. Both of those combined I think made first year Laker Lebron cards popular. Still though, they have to build some kind of legacy or they ultimately or they probably go down.

    I'm looking at getting back into card collecting so this video was awesome!! Thank you so much for putting this together. One question that I have is what do you do with all the cards that don't have value and are just normal cards? Back when I was a kid it was fun to collect the whole team or player groups to show off to my friends. As an adult, that isn't as much of a draw, so what do you do with those "undesirable" cards?

    • @TheComebackCardInvestor

I’m gonna take a step back and invest more wisely because I’m losing brain cells and my wallet has a hole in it 😂

    For Baseball especially recent rookie cards and not "prospects" the go to products would be Topps "flagship" - Series 1, Series 2, and Topps update (but these will come down to the players in the checklist in that year)
    And usually the first set they appear in, out of the above sets is the desired card to collect.
    Also Topps Chrome, Topps Chrome Update, Topps Sapphire are also desired sets.
    But do your research, compare prices, compare market fluctuation over a number of months before investing.
    If just starting out spend time researching before jumping in. 👍

    To the youngsters out there, his first few words are key. When investing, in anything, you must *constantly* fight/subdue emotion when making decisions. This plays out just as strongly in things like the stock market. Patience and control of your emotions and probably the two most important ingredients to creating a sound investor.

    As I’m new to all this & from the UK, the part I don’t understand is what cards are good or better. In a ranking system kind of. There’s base, parallel, inserts, prizim, auto, prestige, contender and many more. Even donruss. I don’t quite get that part.

    Good tips. Topps Heritage for baseball can also be good depending on the year. They recreate the flagship design from 40 years prior. So some designs are going to be more sought after than others. Or if the year they are recreating had a great rookie class, that can also add to the hunt.
    Also gotta double down on Young Guns for hockey. Outside of maybe the Cup RPAs, it has been the gold standard for Rookies for like 20 years now. Despite being 'low end', the right players can go well into the 4 digits.

    Similar to the concerns of other card hobbies like Pokemon that are riding the hype wave right now, do you think that we might encounter a bubble in the sports card market? If so (e.g. due to overproduction of certain rookie cards), do you see that as being a potential problem for hyped sets in the past few years, or, rather, for future sets yet to be released? (Looking at long-term value)

    • @TheComebackCardInvestor

      Hey Lucky Pepe. Definitely concerned. I felt like summer was a giant bubble and then it popped and it will happen repeatedly. The longer this goes on, the more I would focus on older cards (at least 2017 or older) The pop reports of recent rcs are insane. Perhaps parallels and serial numbered cards of 2017-2020 make more sense too

  • @ntataryn
    @ntataryn Před 3 lety +3

    For higher end football/basketball, I would also add Contenders and National Treasures. Also rookie autos are very underappreciated now. People will eventually realize how overprinted the base cards are, especially in the last few years. Guys can only sign so many autos, so those have some inherent rarity, and are also much cooler than just a piece of paper.
    I also like your rule about not paying more than a PSA 8 value raw. I have a similar rule which is that I'll assess it online (just stay away from anything in a sleeve or toploader) and then pay no more than 1 grade less than what I think it is. If you're less experienced with grading, this rule should be 2 grades less. So if you think something looks like a PSA 7, pay no more than the PSA 5 value.

    collected when i was young, went thru my cards and found two topps big ben rookie cards and a phillip rivers rookie. they look honestly in great condition, except for one big ben had a very small little corner problem. should i still send them to get graded??

      Hey Jake. "Looks great" means probably PSA 8. Get a magnifying lamp and then watch videos on how to scour for flaws. If everything looks absolutely perfect, then you may have a PSA 9. It's strict!

      Grading is a joke....most “Investor Graders will resubmit the same card multiple times to get a higher grade. This shows it’s nothing more then a money grab for the grading company and flipper. Grading is a joke.

    I bought some nice baseball cards from the 60s and 70s. Spent about $150. A 1970 nolan Ryan topps, A Roberto Clemente 1970 topps, Rod Carew, 1970 topps, A Pete rose, 1971, topps, a few Hank Aaron's, a lot of really nice cards. I felt I got a pretty good deal. Over 50 stars in the stack. Just starting to get back in the swing of things

    I've been collecting comics since a kid and im guilty of loving and buying the cool looking flashy ones just because they look cool on the wall! Even though there are a million copies and only a few dollars, there are some with really cool vintage holographic art. And they are just great decorations and conversation starters that you are ok with taking out and letting a friend read. I love holographic collectibles in general. They just look special to me. Like an ancient rellic. Only he who holds it has the power lol. I really want to start an Oklahoma QB rookie card collection because my brother got me this really cool looking holo Baker Mayfield rookie card and I cant go another year without getting him some more brothers to go beside him. Im trying to find a Spencer rattler and Caleb Williams rookie card at OU and I can't find one yet for rattler. I really want it to be holographic. I saw one but it didn't look legit because it has the transformers font on it. I just want a clean looking holo with a decent pose. I dont care if it's highly collectible or not as long as it isn't over $100. I found 1 really cool autographed one but it was hundred of dollars. I am not there yet.

      You're welcome, Charles. I believe 1st year of Prizm may not be the case and in 2016 football, RCs don't have a base Prizm, only a Silver. It's weird, but in recent years, it looks like they made it easier to decipher.

      Hey Josh, personally, I like base Prizm more because I can buy more, sell some over time, hold others. If the player is very proven I'll go with silver, but I def don't want $50+ on a player who could be out of the league in 3 years

    I'm new to all of this, but I looked into grading, and PSA is charging $200 per card. I don't understand why this fee is so high. I know cards are more likely to sell at a higher rate if they are graded, but how are we supposed to make any money if the fees are this high? Am I missing something?

    For Hockey, low-end = Upper Deck Series 1 & 2 for Young Guns, mid-tier = SP Authentic for Future Watch. The Cup is the high-end product but it's not as liquidable and also the thick card stock usually does not get a good grading. Also note that majority of your buyers will be Canadians, meaning if you live in the States, you might have to reduce your sales price to compete with Canadian sellers because the Canadian buyers have to pay sales tax for imported goods.
