A very useful video - I'm into investing in sports cards, but still a noob in doing so; bought cards for wrong reasons, sold those at a loss, and try to reset my strategy.
Just started my llc thanks to your inspiration! Keep the knowledge coming please!!
This is awesome! Subbed here and to your podcast!
Just found your channel and I liked & subbed. Looking forward to future videos (& going through your older ones). Thanks for sharing.
Great information! Im new to the hobby and took Gary V’s advice to do 40-50 hours of research. I literally have watched about a dozen of your videos in the past week! Thanks for the help!
Thanks for sharing your know how!! This video was extremely helpful.
Best advice just needed to confirm. Thank you so much.
Great information to share out there. Very useful and don't bother with the doorknob demanding to see your Lonzo Ball collection.
Keep up the good work 👍🍻
I’m also a Lonzo collector. Your collection is insane!!!! New sub!
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the video, just found your channel. Looking forward to your older videos as well as your new content going forward. I subbed you.
Thanks so much for the insight and advice on how to properly invest in cards. My son and I enjoy collecting for fun, but I always had an interest in actually collecting for investment. Your podcast is exactly what I have been searching for in gaining the the baseline knowledge in how to start investing in sports cards correctly. Greatly appreciated!
I really like your advice! Thanks for the videos!
New to the channel. Thanks for the free education. Looking forward to more broadcast. Ty
This is really helpful! I just got back into the hobby and was thinking about investing but didn’t know how to start. Thank you 🙏🏾
Considering there are only 2 PSA 10 graded O-Pee-Chee Gretzky rookies this is awesome! You always wonder who owns certain cards that are super rare, and here is one of two!
Awesome video! We open so much stuff this is so useful
Good stuff! Thanks for the advice.
A great topic would be the best way to get your maximum dollar for all of the sports cards that are idling in storage. I think many investors/collectors would find this topic helpful. Your very resourceful way of finding the correct information can be invaluable to your viewers.
Buy tom brady rookies or early upper deck and topps on card autos. For baseball 90s inserts like 93 reflectors and 96 mirrors golds and blues
I love your insight thank you so much
I'm loving this!!
In your opinion What Rookie is the top Baseball Rookie to invest in outta the 2019 season? Great video by the way it's very informative. Please keep them coming I'm loving the free education.
This is great!
Another awesome video, please keep them coming
Any analytics tools for football predictives? Like how you're using fivethirtyeight for basketball?
Good info. Thanks!
Sports Card "Investor" : Buys dozens of Lonzo Ball cards at the peak of the market. Woof!
This is so crazy i remember seeing a news story about card collecting/ investing saying it was dead as disco i jus cant see lonzo rookie cards making money this is like the stock market up n down a Tatum Jah Morant n Zion yeah ok but not 100 200 crazy as hell bro
@David Martin don't know about that I know Apple stock is pretty high right now and if u got in on the ground floor before their IPO u might have made way more money than cards
How long do you plan on keeping the Lo Ball’s before you sell? I like Jason Tatum- I think he has a chance at getting into the HOF. He has a good coach and good GM.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for me is a must buy
You didn’t say Hellooo Sports Card Investors!!! That’s the best part! Keep up the great work!
🤣😂🤣😂
Where can you get a spreadsheet like the one you use?
So for us commoners... Does this apply when you can only afford base optic and prizm? If so will this be worthwhile in your opinion?
Nice video keep it up!
This is the bes channel for sports cards
PWCC is a bad word but Brent says thanks for the plug.
Wish you'd say what you bought those lonzo graders as u go thru them... just to know.. I'm new to this, and collected as a kid.. Really like your channel tho, professional :)
Great point about the spreadsheet to stay disciplined with your card investments. I've used them myself for years since I used to be such an impulse buyer - rarely got burned but when you are investing every number you pay matters.
As an investor, I don't know if you've ever checked out thePit.com. it's a great platform that not only beats eBay prices on a lot of hot cards, but if you just buy to flip, they let you store the cards for no charge. It's a lot like ComC but no transaction fee or storage fees. If they don't list a card, and it's a hot one that sells often on eBay, they'll usually add it. They also have sealed product. Let me know what you think of it.
Thank you
Dude just found your channel, no idea how I didn’t find it sooner!
Greating from here in the Philippines...
This is smart i agree with lonzo ball a lot
I also buy vintage baseball cards pre 1970’s. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Thanks!
What app do you like to get notified on eBay for new listing?
Say for Lonzo everything plays out the way it seems according to logistics, when do you feel a good time for a return on that investment would be?
When he wins a ship. Retires. Dies or makes the hof. Even then its not a guarantee but the balls have a buzz and if his career pans out he'll be a good pick. Just my opinion. No time will tell.
What actions can be taken if a card you ordered on eBay was shipped and marked as delivered but didn’t show up in the mail?
Recently subscribed, great content. I may have missed it, but I’d appreciate a “when to sell” video/perspective from you
I know nothing of sports cards, just gave a large box that I had picked up at the Goodwill years ago to my neighbor, they were from someone's card collection. I just assumed there was nothing of importance in the box, not saying baseball cards are not important, but you know, as resell!
His card is definitely dropping more and more, so this may be a good opportunity. But I believe he may need to get traded or go to another team that can build around him. Great content! Thanks!
I love Alonzo Mourning. Big collector
Dewey Oxburger ....I might be selling some on eBay aust soon, Look at freight forward from aus to US.
Lonzo Ball ? I got confused with LaMelo... Lonzo ? LOL LMFAO
at what point do you start selling certain players?
You snapppped
Nice video! Would be helpful to label those videos that focus on basketball. So those that collect other sports know.
Great episode. I like the investing in players, but I think more of investing in opportunity. For example Panini First Off the Line Products are a great investment! With exception of baseball, you get a 25% to 300% return on buying a box of FOTL and selling it. Assuming you understand FOTL.
Another great investment, always buy Prizm BASKETBALL retail. IF it is Basketball Prizm in a Target, WalMart or gas station, buy it. Doesn't make a difference year etc. Same is true with Bowman Baseball retail, not as much upside as Prizm Basketball, Bowman Baseball retail is a great buy. Why? These products are price controlled and have amazing upside potential and great resell value.
I'd love to hear your opinion on the newer flashy products. Prizm Basketball and NT Basketball are Capt. Obvious. What about Contenders, Draft Contenders, Baseball Prizm, etc. I think you could do an episode on the products and which to stay away from like Draft Contenders, Prizm Baseball, etc. Panini Obsidian Basketball was very popular release this year, but as investor, I would stay away. I would rip and flip, but don't hold new products.
Great tips on buying. I agree. Tracking cost is important. People love to brag about the money they make, buy you will lose too. Tracking lose is good to learn and good to balance your profits. Also I suggest WatchCount for comps.
Ziggy No
Im starting out and this helped im trying to buy my first pack my friend
Love the videos, but cannot buy into your Lonzo theory. Is there any other player with a 12-6-6 stat line that people are trying to buy now?
Your missing that he is a low risk in that he can get the relatively cheap. He still has upside as a player.
This didn't age well. "Lonzo Ball will have as good of a career as those guys" (Tatum and Mitchell). hahah missed that one
Great content! Can you send me a link to your spreadsheet so I can edit it as well?
How’s that Lonzo stash doing today? Lol. We win some and lose some!
ha
I have nba cards since 1997. I want to dive on this business...
Hello that was a really good video and knowledge it really is a good investment people might say it's waste of time but I say start collecting now now now because you may have jackpots in your cards and what is your eBay user name to find you?
Lonzo!!
Is this your way of unloading all your lonzo? Haha jk but maybe... Good content
What’s a fair price for lonzo psa10 silver at the national ? Also what u think of psa10 Topps Labrons rookie?????
Joseph p the PSA 10 Lebron James rookie Topps or Topps Chrome In my opinion if one can afford it is the best investment in sports card today . For me that is the card to have .
Memorabilia Madness M&M I agree. What’s a fair price. Seems to be about 1400. Price won’t stand still
Joseph p yea anything between $1,300 & $1,400 is what you gonna pay today but I’m sure once the season starts we’re gonna see a jump on it again . That card to me is like the 86 fleer MJ it’s just going to go up with time and never come down in value . I’m hoping to get 1 soon before they take another jump .
Memorabilia Madness M&M I agree 💯. I got one 2 months ago for 1100$. I’m going to the show tomorrow, hoping to get 4 more. I’m gonna hold long term. I’m late to the party as usual. I’m just worried that if the stock market crashes like its suppose to. I’m tired of waiting though
Joseph p ... I’m 🙏🏽 for a crash so I can scoop up everything at rock bottom prices 🤣
You think it’s wise still to buy Lonzo ball cards?
So are you looking for the RC cards for players you think will have great careers?
Do they sell national treasures for basketball in retail stores like Walmart or target?
Are there any trusted online stores that you prefer other than Ebay ? Ebay seems like a minefield of shady operators.
ebay isnt shady, you just need to be educated on the game
Looking like a very bad investment at this point :/ but his brother Lamelo on the other hand will be a great investment!
how do you know Lamelo is a good investment? he is super new to the game. also what makes you say Lonzo is a very bad choice he is also new? not disagreeing just curious (:
@@treytrewhella263 you are correct about melo being new so I’m deff assuming he’s going to be good but Lonzo has been in the league for a few years now and has deff been a bust for the number pick he was.
Lonzo ... ouch.
what do you think of lonzo now?
I actually still like him. Pelicans had a disappointing bubble but they were hot before the season paused originally. Lonzo + Zion will be a good combo for a while to come.
lonzo need to stay healthy tho... but i agree
luis robert
Don’t get me wrong but, aren’t you creating scarcity in the market by buying multiples of the same card, thus making them more expensive?
What’s the big deal with Prizm? That’s all people talk about and the cards don’t even look that good and the prices to buy a box of cards is outrageous and I have been collecting for years never seen such high prices on every product.
Bet on the wrong Ball brother 😂
I really detest the entire Ball family. Part of cards is public opinion, and I just don't think he has the "like-able" factor that will help the long-term value of his cards. Good luck with it though.
He's already made tons of money on lonzo, $20 for his base psa 10 cant even get them for under $100 now
Lonzo. ball lol. Beanie baby player. Good luck
The Lakers front office likes Kyle Kuzma more than Lonzo Ball. Does that scare you?
Based on the Lakers' track record the past several years, no. :)
Cards are worth what u want to pay
PWCC & PSA are in bed together. The data supports that.
How’s the Lonzo investment plan going now? What is he, on his 3rd team now? I wouldn’t invest in that dude if I could use Monopoly money.
The second ball is either a fake or all the other cards are fake and only one original
This video gotta sting more and more as another season goes by and injuries and mediocre play has Lonzo’s stock continuing to sink
Joe burrow
oof lol
Lonzo can't stay healthy even as a young man, how you think he is going to do once he starts getting some wear and tear on him from years of playing at high intensity league? Buying his cards is not smart investing, it's a big gamble because not only is he never healthy but his scoring sucks when he is playing. My thoughts are first let me see him stay healthy, then let me see him with 2 seasons of better stats than what he has done so far. Yes his cards may be a little higher if those 2 happen but if he is as good as you think he is then there will be potential for it to go up even more. LeBron don't want to play with him and LeBron wants to win. I don't like LeBron personality but I know his work ethic and what he expects out of teammates so if he is willing to ship off Lonzo that tells me everything I need to know about him.
Da C. And he shoots 41% free throws
He compared him to Donovan Mitchell lmao.... not to mention Tatum
@@bitcoinisfreedom5265 I think this guy bought a bunch of Lonzo rookie cards before he choked and is now trying to trick people into investing into him so he can sell his inventory.
11:55 , solved your question www.watchcount.com/
Can't believe you think Lonzo has any shot of lasting in the NBA, let alone stating you think he'll be an all star. He shoots 41% on free throws, you can't fix him. He's markelle fultz Yips bad. To compare him to Tatum and Donovan Mitchell is asinine. Mitchell is a top 10 player in the league. Lonzo will never even be top 100; he can't shoot for shit and you can't teach that.
Cas, is that you????
Well you can tea h someone to shoot smart guy it happens everyday. If you knew anything about sports you can't teach size & speed. Everything else is a skill that can be taught. When you made this weak comment he hadn't started hitting his shots showing his new form off. So this is the part where you eat crow... 😜
This comment aged so poorly
So if you're looking at these cards simply as an investment, isn't it bad not to diversify your portfolio? Like you wouldn't want to buy as much of 1 unproven stock as possible and nothing else. Especially athletes. Ball could become the next Greg Oden or Emmanuel Mudiay and you're screwed. He could blow out a knee, developed a coke habit or get arrested with a gun and boom, hes done and your cards are worth nothing. This reminds me or when I was a kid and was convinced Todd VanPoppel was going to be a star. I found a shoebox full of those 20 years later.
This didn't age well
Lonzo ball lol no way. Anthony Davis would be a good buy right now ganniss and always lebron and jordan
Lonzo Ball stuff has tanked....plus he is over rated
Bro honesty I like his channel but the way he talking is like he trying to cover up his addiction by sounding logical but there’s just so many he bought 😂
No lonzo hasn’t are u insane
