Yes, collecting is so fun! I'd recommend spending lots of time at your local card stores, and attending as many card shows as possible. The only way to learn is to immerse yourself into the hobby and talk to as many people as possible. Generally, buy at card shows, and look to pay 85-95% of eBay comps. I'd steer clear of eBay honestly, unless you find a steal and a card you cannot resist.
What do you buy? Singles or boxes? I wouldn't but on Amazon, higher chance of counterfeit cards, and prices aren't as good. Whatever you do, don't open boxes. Unless you want to throw away your money.
@@ThatSportsCardsGuy i buy a lot of singles for cheap like packers players and others but i wanted to get some rookie cards but i am better off going to walmart then buying on amazon right because if so i will start going to walmart i know they have a lot
Great channel, new sub! I just did my first show in almost 25+ years! Man how times have changed! As a dealer you now have all these flippers that come through, buy in bulk, ALL CASH, and it’s tough to make sure to straddle the dealer and reseller roles. I found that I had to be a little strict with the “early” crowd and leave some for the collectors who pay the sticker price. One part I kinda didn’t realize is that people will sell you cards as well, so that’s an added bonus for someone like me that is primarily raw to grade. Great, video, look forward to more!
Thanks, and Welcome! I totally agree! Great points. Flippers can be good and bad at the same time. 1. You sell more. But 2. You get less $$. So I think it depends on your strategy, and how you think the market is looking. If you want to move product fast, then sell to them. But if you think it's a sellers market, and you're in no rush, then hold your ground. Thanks for stopping by!
Actually that's misleading, looking at national indexes, card sales are down significantly year over year. And, looking at GDP and labor statistics, the economy is not great. BUT, either way, vote Kennedy!
@@ThatSportsCardsGuy Your dead wrong. Unemployment at record lows, Stock Market up doing record numbers, S&P 500 is doing record numbers. Gold is over $2,000 an ounce, minimum wage in California $20 per hour!! Trump won't be able to sell all his Crap if the Economy wasn't strong. $60 Bibles? Really? $400 Fake Gold Shoes? You want the guy with a Brain Worm to be President?
Hey there! I'd say $200-$500. So, anything from $50 to $200 is a great place to move cards fast. Once you start going up to $200, $300, and up, it gets harder, but under $1k is still fairly liquid. Over $2-5k gets much harder to move.
Thanks for the Sub! I honestly use card ladder, though I'm not sure it's THE best. You also have alt, and market movers. I chose card ladder because the price was right and it was easy to use. Though I'm probably not the only expert here. Cheers!
That's actually super common for dealers. People coming to these shows expect to pay 85-90% comps, so, a dealer has to pay 75-80% to make any money. Gotta get their margin from somewhere.
Welcome to my channel, and it's very first video! We had a blast, and we hope you did as well. Stay tuned for many more videos like this coming soon!

Thanks for the sub! Glad you liked the video!
In your opinion what are mid end prices or cost of cards? Thanks!
Hey there! I'd say $200-$500. So, anything from $50 to $200 is a great place to move cards fast. Once you start going up to $200, $300, and up, it gets harder, but under $1k is still fairly liquid. Over $2-5k gets much harder to move.
What is the best app in your opinion to look up past comps on cards? Great video by the way! I just subscribed!

Scamming kids lol they can sell on insta if they want.
Someday I will be vendor
Do it!
It's easy.....just mark cards up 60%
Which sellers are you buying from lol? My guy Nick makes 10-15% per card. Buys at 75%-80% and sells at 80%-90%. 60% markup and no one will buy lol.
Is your mouth still running? 😂
Haha, less so, as I'm focusing on other experts, but It'll still be running from time to time. Thanks for coming over!
