Appreciate the video! I have to work on the way I pick a card and refine the sourcing process for sure. Too many are coming in rough lately. Maybe I got lucky at first or maybe I'm getting sloppy. Will be watching this video a few times lol

@TRose18 11 ай бұрын

Interesting video. Do you think at some point the market for graded cards will be over saturated? Also just curious on how paying taxes on this works? Do you have to also pay social security or is it all capital gains?

@KetchumAllCollectibles 11 ай бұрын

Definitely some cpa questions here but I think saturation has already come in some "plays" and can definitely happen more broadly from time to time. Paying taxes on this all can work a lot of different ways depending on how you structure. Tax optimization is a huge part of any business and best left to the professionals

One thing you didn’t touch on is how much capital it takes to purchase/grade cards to reach 100k per year in gross profit. If you’re only making $5 profit per card, in order to reach $125k per year you would need to sell 25,000 graded cards. That’s $425,000 in grading fees alone (assuming you are sending to psa at bulk value which is $17 per card). That also means you would average shipping over 2,000 items per month. I doubt anyone is breaking their back and bank doing that lol. Anyways, respectfully my point is that I think average margins have to be higher in order to be successful in flipping graded cards as a full time job.

@KetchumAllCollectibles 11 ай бұрын

Oh yeah the $5 margin was a distinctly separate portion from the talk about making $100k. I was a bit all over the place from 50k a year to 1 million a year 😆

@PMTCards 11 ай бұрын

Does the patreon go into good detail on how to source the cards? For instance I looked at tcg just as an example.. celebrations charizard there’s only 12 classified as “mint” with pictures. Out of those 12, only 5 are even below $100 vs the “avg” price being in the mid 70s. A lot of the photos aren’t even great/lined up.. hard to tell the alignment, etc.. Or are you just looking at good seller history and buying from them without pics?

So the basic formula is buy NM copies of desirable cards at market price, get them graded, sell graded cards on eBay? NM raw has a lot of wiggle room. How much of a gamble is it on getting PSA 10s in general?
