In the Dominican Republic, children assume two last names, one each from their father and mother. Culturally the father’s last name is listed first, followed by the mother’s last name. David America Ortiz Arias is his full legal name. When they made his early cards, it was likely just a lack of understanding of the cultural norms, which he subsequently had corrected by specifying that the convention is to be referred to by their father’s last name (Ortiz).
i was impressed with how you put the cap back on the marker after every time you used it. im far too lazy for that.
For reselling these grade flips as an eBay seller you also need to account for the higher selling fees on higher value.
For example that PSA 9 ohtani from going 20$ to 40$.. this now makes the card unable to be shipped with a PWE and your eBay fees will be going up by $2 versus at $20 sale.
So your eBay fee and shipping cost to sell this card in a 9 is gonna be roughly 5-6$ higher than if you sold raw at $20 with a PWE shipping.
It’s not huge but these extra fees add up big in this price range and make “break even” cards unprofitable
Same thing with the Burrow very next card. You lost $5 but I’d say you actually lost closer to $10. (if you’re an eBay seller doing this) it’s gonna cost an extra 3.50 to ship the card now and the fees will be an additional 1.50 over selling it at $20 raw.
Just opened ‘92 bowman box for nostalgia and got TWO Mariano’s! One might be 9 other is prob 7. In 92 woulda been pissed no plantiers.
Really enjoyed the financial breakdown!!!
Should do a video after all are sold to see if the $1,600 was accurate. Market fluctuation is real.
Oh man I have that Jordan Jam Masters from my childhood. Would be a fun one to slab just have.
PSA has been pretty good to me lately. With ultra modern I've been at about a 70% gem rate and I just got back a vintage order and I got 2 9's from 1972 Topps football of some chiefs hall of famers(Willie Lanier and Buck Buchanan). Also got an 8 on a 64 topps killebrew and a 8 on my winfield, fisk and eddie murray rooks. The rest wasn't as hot. Got a 4 on my bench rookie and a 5 on my mike schmidt rookie.
I'm just getting back into this and my things have changed!
I don’t know if PSA puts the coloring of the card into the equation, but the 1992 Bowman Rivera’s borders look off-white. That is definitely something I look for when buying cards from that set.
Good catch... that might be it
They should maybe it's your phone that's Maljng it look off-white
It's your phone it's defiently not😂 off-white
@@JTyler-je3fbcomparing the border to the PSA label, it definitely looks off white.
I appreciate your willingness to share these returns with us. Glad to see you do so well.
That Sandberg is awesome, love the rare oddball rookies like that!
Dodgers had the 5 straight ROYs you mentioned but ALSO had a stretch of four straight from 79-82 (Sutcliffe, Howe, Valenzuela, Sax). So, in an 18-year stretch from 79-96,the Dodgers had NINE Rookies of the Year.
Oh wow, interesting stat!
I've always loved that power players set design
A lot of folks don’t look closely at the grading standards for PSA (I’m not referring to you), but a PSA 9 graded card can be MASSIVELY OFF CENTER, 65/35 to be precise. This translates to the “bigger border” being nearly 2 TIMES as wide as the more narrow border, which to most is wildly OC. Anyways, PSA has by far the loosest centering standards in card grading, barring only garage companies. That Griffey is WELL within 65/35. Fun return!
Some super nice grades, Chris! Thanks for sharing. That Sandberg is crazy cool!!! Walter Johnson's career batting WAR is higher than Karros' career WAR.
Ha! Cool stat
I just happened to stumble across that obscure stat this past weekend. Good timing.
The Sandberg red lobster card was nice
Great video. Reasoning well stated…
Great breakdown thanks. Would love to see a video in 6 months on the your realized gain.
PSA's centering allowances are too loose. The Johnson and Griffey Tiffany's should not be 9's.
The Johnson looks like a 9 to me, but the Griffey definitely not!
Nice Bo Jackson autograph!
Very nice Bud💯
Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year Chris🤘
Nice vid! Love the classic cards and classic charting/stats lol😅
I hope PSA is still in a giving mood, I have the exact same Ohtani with them now.
Can't argue with those results. Nice submission Chris!
David Ortiz - full name is David Ortiz Arias - as is common with Spanish names, the father's last name comes first followed by the mother's last name. Americans frequently make that mistake. If you go to a bookstore, you will usually find Nobel prize Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez incorrectly filed under M. After that rookie year, Ortiz became well enough known that the card companies got it right after that.
I just sold the Ortiz in a 9 for $300 a couple months ago, you are off on that number
Great return, Great day🎉
Pretty good results, from the PSA submission, fairly even split with, the 9's and 10's overall.
Hi Chris, thanks for the video. Always appreciate it that you share this with us.
thanks for sharing the details of your psa order. I didn't see you factor in the eBay fees when those cards sell?
You might want to consider holding onto those Realmuto rookies for a couple more years. He's on a HoF track, and if he continues, his rc in a 10 will go up by a lot.
Finally a good PSA grader ,good job
I watched a video where a guy sent 80 cards in to PSA, mostly stars and semi stars from 2006 Topps. He got grades from 5-9, mostly 7-8, lost money on every card.
Paper Topps cards are tough to grade
that's why you assess them and do grade estimates first and don't send them in unless it's profitable
He has another video series opening a 1972 topps wax box, thinks every card is a psa 10, and can't pronounce half the player names. Clearly has more money than card collecting common sense.
That was awesome to watch. I find the sports card market so interesting. I would love more videos of the financial breakdown of your psa submissions.
As an aside, it would seem graded cards are easier to sell than raw, is that true?
The Mariano card looks to be yellowed. That may be the issue? As usual, I love your videos, thanks for sharing.
Never knew that Sandberg had a red lobster card 🤯 thanks Chris!
Just noticed that Stephen Curry card has a weird black curtain in the background very similar to the one you pointed out on the Victor Wembanyama Prizm rookie in that other video
Cool Sandberg card. I have been collecting for a long time and have never seen that one.
Good stuff, Chris!
Chris I also got a 7 on my Jeter SP
These psa videos are always interesting. Do you get most of these cards from collections? I’ve found it really tough to be able to tell condition online especially of surface
Yeah the vast majority of cards I buy are in private collections.
Nice pre RC Sandberg. Congrats on the hits and profit
I think that Mariano may be worth more than you think…hope it is for your sake!
Idk if the Ryno is a pre-rookie. Pretty sure that shows him at Wrigley and he came up with the Phillies. Could be though, that was the year I was born so can’t say I’m confident lol
nice collection regardless of the grades. 👍
Nice Sandberg!
Karros Mondesi Piazza is a card i'd like for my PC. That was my youth right there. Three consecutive (four if you add Nomo) Rookie of the Year players.
I believe it was 5 in a row with Todd Hollandsworth being right after Nomo?
The sentence “ 9’s often operate as losses”…
Ouch
Chris, what tools do you use to evaluate a card before sending it in to PSA? Do you use a jeweler's loop? Or any type of Card Centering Tool?
I think giving us some insight into that process would make for a great video!
I actually dont use any tools other than my naked eye. I probably should.
@@collectorinvestordealer Your phone has a magnifier app (or you can get a free app from the store) with your phone's light...I see ton's of stuff that I miss with the naked eye.
if you're curious why Bo Jackson gets more attention in football, look up his history - you'll understand why.
Love these videos! Do you see any "Adventures in Card Collecting" videos in the horizon. I love those stories. Is The Topps Update J. T. Realmuto a rookie card? It doesn't have the RC label on the front of the card?
I do have one in the works!
nice looking bonds
This is great, thanks. Followed.
Welcome!
Great video as always, love the insights from your experiences! For the ones ones you say you break even on, do you find it easier to sell those cards graded or raw (for those cards you are on the fence of sending them in for grading)? I'm guessing it could go both ways, some people like the security of knowing the card is graded, but others are more gamblers and buy raw in the hopes it could gem. Thanks Ross from Hawaii! 🤙
It is much easier to sell graded cards than raw cards, especially when i do almost all my selling online.
Thanks for the info! So I guess it's best to just send cards to grade if you feel you'll get at least the break even grade. Although you could get those rogue ones that come back a six. 😬 Thanks and have a great weekend! 🤙@@collectorinvestordealer
Even though I will never grade again with PSA, I do enjoy how you breakdown your submissions. It is thorough and it helps others I feel decide whether or not it's worth the gamble on a certain card whether or not to submit. If PSA hadn't changed me $50 for a card that they refused to grade, I might have used them again. Thanks for sharing Chris.
So go use SGC just don't complain about the resale value pretty much
@@spic0li Missed the entire point. Monopolies aren't good in any area. Have them charge you for a card they don't grade then you can come lecture me. Thanks
@@chrisc4264 lol and they been doing that for years to collectors and yet their market shares increase please explain...🙄
@@chrisc4264.... exactly
Still no Chris reply another one of those that gets told and can't even rebuff.
10 is like lottery win ✌️😂
I feel like that Mo has to be worth more than just $25 raw and $100 in a 9. Low numbered refracted of an all-time HOF
Where will you be listing the Jeter and the JT and the Shohei RC’s. I’d like to buy them if your selling them flat out. If your auctioning them I’m usually only on EBay but I’ll try to find them! If you even still have them available. It would also be a cool video to see how you do in the end after selling all the cards with total profits to see how close you estimated gains are! Just a idea I think would make good content!
the 2 kobe's: 1 gets a 9 and the other gets a 10....this is exactly why we deserve answers as to why our cards got the grades they did when we submit cards to these companies. We don't need subgrades, but an explanation as to why 1 card got a 9 and the other a 10 should be included in the grading process.
Because PSA wants to control the POP of 10’s
Hi Chris-- I would buy those Realmutos from you if you would be willing to do a PayPal transaction on those. Funny I recently sold you a Nomar auto on COMC. Thanks for the great content as always.
Ridiculous they don't say why they're not 10's
You should do a video highlighting best inserts of the 90s. The mirror golds look great, especially when peeled. Could do one for each of the four sports.
Funny you mention that as my upcoming Saturday video is about 90s inserts
@@collectorinvestordealer good because I have about 10,000 of them. want to buy some?
So cool 🙂
Very nice
I still like the Mariano Rivera in 8. Are you selling?
Hi Chris! What do you use to clean your cards before you send them to psa? I see all kinds of products including sprays and wax. Thanks for the vids
I dont clean my cards at all.
Love it
How much for the jordan
I'd love to buy that Ryne Lobster card. Can we work that out?
Why areyou sending in off center cards for 8 or 9? especially at 19 plus shipping and shipping
Great video. Are you buying these cards raw off of eBay? How do you predetermine the card quality or is it just an educated guess based off of the photos?
Thew vast majority of cards I get are in private collections
Chris, can you talk about your thoughts on the importance of centering on a card? I noticed you mentioned a number of times in this video how a card was a bit off center, so no way it could grade a 10. Yet on PSA's web site under Grading Standards it states a PSA can be 60/40 on the front and 75/25 on the reverse and still be a 10 by PSA. Do you feel PSA's grading definitions don't line up with what results you get back?
What is even stranger to me is PSA states it's 9 rating is 65/35 on front or better and 90/10 or better on the reverse. A 9 is even stricter than the PSA 10 for the reverse. How much does centering really affect a card's rating?
I think those centering standards used to be used, but I think PSA has become much stricter than that recently. They used to give 60/40 cards 10s, but in my experience they generally do not anymore.
@@collectorinvestordealer Thanks for the response, appreciated! Keep up the good work/content.
Question. Did you get up harged for the 10's and if so how much were you upcharged(if you dont mind me asking) and if so was the upcharge also added within your final sum up?
I did not get upcharged on any cards in this order.
gj chris as always
What is the turnaround time on standard PSA submissions. Last time i sent a standard order in they had the cards over 1 year... of course it has been a few years but it definitely soured my PSA ambitions.
Those days are long gone... its somewhere in the 1-3 months range at the moment. Perhaps a little more with vintage.
Xman xfractor!
Any offers for the Dodgers card ? I've been buying my best friend cards like this to hopefully spark an interest in collecting. This would be cool to add to his collection foe the right price 😆
i thought that was a great card if for no other reason the Dodgers market is huge like the Yankees
You may have covered this before, but how do you find the raw value of the cards?
I just estimate it using completed ebay sales
I’m interested in selling my collection. I’ve been collecting since 1987. How do I get in contact with you?
Feel free to email me at sewallsportscards@gmail.com
Are you able to actually get these values when you sell?
For the most part, yes
@@collectorinvestordealer that’s great, also wanted to say the channel is great 👍
How much did buy each card for?
They were all part of private collection that I bought so I dont know what I paid on each individual card.
@@collectorinvestordealer Bet it was a lot less than the Raw Value you listed. So the actual profit will be considerably higher than the added value.
The entire idea of the video is to figure out the added value of selling a card raw vs getting it graded and selling it after being graded, not the entire profit of the card(as that would be nearly impossible to determine when bought in a large collection).@@rlsfrny
In regards to your ethics in selling video, are you going to mention you think that Griffey 9 should have been an 8 in your listing title? 😂 Just kidding.
Sell me the Griffey
No rap song intro?
Next time :)
Hmm I think I’m first!
I think we tied Bud..Lol🤘
We have a winner!
