Steve, top video mate. Really valuable, especially the stuff at the end. I've always submitted through a middleman because of the shipping fees which makes it so I pay up front which throws off the leverage stuff. Next year, I'm definitely gonna get a PSA membership

Massive video Steve! I have recently started going through my card collections. Selling the cards which I believe have no chance on at least breaking even as raw. Chose 15 of the nice ones and sent to PSA. I am in EU and it was 23€ per card inc grading shipping and vat. Waiting for them to come back but since its my first time not expecting huge results. Your videos motivated me to start ❤ Btw did you ever use TCG fish for PSA price checking?
@PokemonSteven 11 ай бұрын
No i don't use TCG fish, but it looks pretty good. I should have done a better job explaining international fees and stuff for grading, but its very hard to do so since everyone lives in different countries, i cant do breakdowns for every single country. For me in australia it's almost 20usd per card at the moment aswell, after shipping/vat too :( Thanks for the kind comment.

2nd :D Love your vids steve, watch them all - quick question, I saw a product recently that is a bulk card scanner that has an associated AI listing creation program - have you thought about using something like this for your singles store? I think the cost is expensive but they boast the ability to list like 10,000 cards a day.

Great information. While psa is taking so long for subs to come back have you ever thought about sending to cgc for shorter turnarounds and lesser costs or do u see the decrease in value in such slabs too much of a risk?
@PokemonSteven 11 ай бұрын
I did do that for a while, but i usually don't care how long it takes me to get cards back, since once you get to a point of having a "revolving wheel", you will always get some back each month.

Appreciate these videos, as an Australian I was originally drawn to your videos because it was easy to follow your pricing and strategy for everything. I know you’re now catering to a larger audience for more viewer coverage, but I do miss the Aud pricing as not many Australians are on KZfaq doing what you’re doing. Keep up the great content!

I put the prices in USD for the video, because PSA charges in USD, if i put them in AUD.. then the currency fluctuates, it won't be accurate. I appreciate the comment but I am not doing anything for more viewer coverage.

@Sebastiaan487 11 ай бұрын
thanks steve, but 1 question what do u do with the raw cards u bought for like a premium (like 30% of your invest money) and u think it will get a probably get a 9 (break even). and u can't really sell ik easy back for the invested money raw (like u lose a 25% of the 30%) invested money. Do u wait the 3 months as a beginner for a still risky psa return or do u take the loss en try to buy something else te send?
@PokemonSteven 11 ай бұрын
I think the question is too dependant on which cards, some cards sell fine in psa 9, some cards don't. If you don't think it will get a high grade its usually best to try and sell it raw ASAP and buy more stuff =]

What is your tax situation like? After all, if you buy something from a private person, you cannot enter it as an expense to the your company. In turn, if you send this card to PSA and then sell it through the your company, you have to pay tax on it. So the sale must be higher than the cost of the card + grading service + sales tax.
@PokemonSteven 2 ай бұрын
you are correct. the sale price needs to be much higher to account for associated fees and taxes.

Jeez… 20x17… $340 minimum just to get bulk pricing to grade cards? God … that’s an awful big investment…. And that’s not for expensive cards? Jeez… I’ve been thinking about sending some cards in…. In fact I just bought one of those grading kits for like $17 off Amazon…

So to confirm, do you want one that has a high pop 10 rate for easier grading? What % is considered high and what is considered low relative to other cards in general?

every card is different, probably best to study the cards you want to submit before sending in

12:55 MORE PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS. Just because it’s low pop does not mean it’s hard to grade. I’m a niche collector focussing on one evo line, and several cards I’m looking for either have a pop of 1-3 or 0. Because of this, sellers will pop up and list the card for 200$ with big crazy titles like LOW POP RARE, HARD TO GRADE. It’s not hard to grade, it’s just that no one but me and a small handful of others are out here trying to collect every card of this specific Pokémon 😂 smh
