Thanks for watching!

Only Flipper problems. Collectors usually don't sell their collection.

You make some great points. I personally love older cards. All the modern chrome, autographed cards, 1 of 10’s, etc. are so confusing. Grading is also a scam. Anyways, very informative content.

This isn't just the junk slab era, this is the junk parallel era as well. I even think it's the junk autograph era as well. There are some players and iconic cards that are VERY collectable, but 99.9% of cards cards produced are absolute trash. How far can it go ? Soon every card will be 1/1 or /5....ridiculous

The grading market today is a scam. Paying $300 for a PSA 10 is suicide. I see so many newly graded cards going for peanuts. I just got back into the hobby recently that I loved as a kid. And I’m 72. There are so many slab bargains out there, I would never get anything graded. Keep doing these videos. You speak truth.

PSA is 💩. Upcharge is absolutely an old-fashioned shakedown. I'm old school (47) and I personally don't care about card condition and hype. I collect a modern common baseball player and go after every card and parallel. Which the rare one's are still listed high like the covid times. If I ever submit any PC cards for grading it would be with TAG. I love the new videos, keep it up. 👍

Yep I will agree too negative! I’ve sold on eBay since 1999 and I have only a handful of bad transactions with no pay bidders. It’s not a problem, never has been.

No one wants to take a loss. Now they are holding massive bags with no bump in sight.

I’m not panicking. I collect and invest for the long term. There are smart ways to invest

not trying to be that guy but these videos don't make a lot of sense. I would like to see your opinion on this but thousands of people enjoy the hobby and don't have these issues. I agree with the PSA, and the argument that PSA controls comps. Im 15 and I love reselling and I don't like how your whole channel is around just showing the negative. it just is kinda humiliating. Every single video, you don't open packs, show cards you collect, nah you just whine. Why is this useful.

How would psa know that a card was unslabbed and then sent back unless it was a numbered or rare card? Or perhaps they recognized a flaw or the person's address. That sounds strange they would do that.

was it ever a wise idea to think this couldn't go sideways is my only point. The idea that these companies are printing up free money for the buyer is umm.. well... it's a hobby. If you don't find some element of this kind of fun, it's better to buy stocks or lotto scratchers.

Talks about how Ebay has a setting to prevent unpaid item strike buyers from bidding and half a minute later goes on to say how Ebay doesn't care about it "aT aLl!" 🙄

Keep speaking truth.

You have to get lucky in this hobby (just like when you gamble) but I will say that some cards age better than others. If you bought in 2008 or 2009 you could make a big profit today, but if you just started in the hobby or you just own thousands of wax pack era cards, very tough to make a profit.

PSA is a scam for vintage card grading. You start with a 4 and have to 'prove' to them that it is worthy of a higher grade. SGC is more consistent and fair in their grading. Plus, PSA damaged two of my cards that took a 7 to 3 or 4. I would never use them again.

2023-2024 Prizm Basketball is the BIGGEST RIPOFF of ALL! People ripping Prizm Bball & NOT even getting 2 AUTOS?!? WTH

HEY BRO.... Dont give in to the haters. Dont respond to their comments. That is what they want. You are exposing the industry. This is why I NEVER spend my money to grade cards. Also I never buy boxes or packs. Only singles of HOF'ers.

"Alright guys in this video I'm going to take 2 single cases and make large generalizations then rant about it. P.S. What's a sample size?" 😂

Coin collecting is coin collecting and card collecting his card collecting you should not combine the two they don't go together tighten up card companies stop getting greedy

I like your videos and I don’t think you are too negative… but I do like the coins 😂😂😂

I call this the junk slab era. We went through the junk wax era. This is VERY similar IMO. Never thought Id see the day people would grade base cards. 😅 Doesn't surprise me in the least. I do not grade my cards, but Im a TRUE collector not a seller/scumbag scalper, etc...

Hey Biig! I had a 2006 Panini WC Cristiano Ronaldo which received a PSA 8 from the Tokyo branch during the summer of last year. But it appeared better than that I thought and thus felt it had a shot at a 9 and if the grading gods were drinking beers and bottles of wine, perhaps a 10. So I cracked the slab open and I was 99% sure I put a nice dimple in the card due to the slab's plastic 'stabbing' the sitting card during the screwdriver maneuver. I did my best to fix the dimple from the other side with pressure but I could clearly see there was an obvious flaw so the best I thought I could get back would be a 7 if not a 6. I pretty much threw a Hail Flutie back to PSA and a few weeks later it got the same 8 ! That's an example of satisfaction knowing I messed up but got away with it... ya you never know

I was lied to , I did not like this at all

Hey man, just clarifying on the Nolan Ryan, that’s not a new Topps concept. I have a card from mid-2010s that has a stamp and coin from his rookie year and it’s numbered. Been doing this for like 10years and it’s very cool. It’s not a tone deaf, new Topps attempt….

people can do whatever they want its a free country, we need graded cards clearly better than the 80s way

Great video. I like the coin idea however it should be a coin of value to be numbered that low. As far as grading I’m not fond of their subjective grade. Especially when they will up charge for a higher grade for they are re-submitted. I’m not a fan of graded cards because I have seen cards better raw vs graded

Fantastic very informative and truthful video with the topics of discussion I’ve recently myself sold very rare cards to genuine collectors who couldn’t ordinarily afford them at present comps

That's why I would not use eBay they suck they have no control whatsoever what not's pretty good

Keep it coming! Sold all my cards as well! Will get back into the hobby when the leaches lose interest.

It would be funny if the quarters had errors. If I'm not mistaken, 1964 quarters are 90% silver. So unless it's an error, its 25 cents lol

People just love to be haters brother keep doing what you're doing I enjoy the information that you provide rather it's good information or bad information still information thank you

You don't like the Nolan Ryan card, i also think its tacky. But that's heritage, the product is more known for its vintage style rookies. Dynasty, Inception, etc is a product that gives you more eye appealing PAs and card designs.

I mean I like card grading but with PSA it feels like they aren’t even grading and just slapping an arbitrary number on the slab to see if anyone notices. I will submit 5 cards from like 2020, all look the same, no issues, 4 10s and a 5. I post pics of the cards in a group and everyone becomes an 8th grade English teacher with a red pen. “How did this get a 10 with that centering and this (circles glare shine).” I don’t know? PSA is crap? Is all I can respond with. It’s like that with every slab too. I’ll post an SGC 9.5 and the PSA cult will ask how it got that grade with that centering. When I respond with it would have got a PSA 10 with that centering but SGC actually grades centering you get the laughing emoji. The PSA cult is oblivious to the fact that PSA has the most lenient standards, other than surface issues, than any other company. For decades PSA submitters have been spoiled on easy 10s and now that PSA is “ever so slightly harder” they lose it when they get a 9. Grading is just a joke now. People want a Gem 10 factory and they got it for decades and now anything below a 10 is a fail. The community brought this on themselves.

Omg yes! I had someone win Brock Purdy prizm PSA 10 in auction right after the 49ers hit the field goal with about 2 minutes and he paid for it...then about an after the game he messaged me asking if I could cancel because his grandson bid on it because he thought it was green!! Like come on man... yeah that's the most annoying thing and I feel like they are questioning my intelligence lol..but he had 100% percent feedback and top rated seller...I just refunded didn't want to deal with the headache

Not saying the heritage shit isn't dumb but they have done the quarter thing for years

Prophecy

The guys that get my pc cards aren't that nice. They want 1000% percent over comps and block me for pointing it out.

Keep taking the high road. Those comments are truly turd-ish (or is it turd-like)? Anyway, just keep putting out these videos!!!

Your just speak facts.

thats false to many upaid strikes and your gone from ebay, but poeple use it to manipute prices, they don't even have to own the card have something rare have someone hit buy now for 10k and cancel the deal no fees

When you find yourself complaining alot about the hobby, then its time to change hobbies or at least change the way you approach the hobby.

I’m assuming you got into cards or back into cards during the “boom”? Coins in cards have been around for a long time. Nothing new.

Bro...if you hate the hobby so much then go do something else and stop whining about it on youtube....don't "announce" just BOUNCE buddy

I love the sh!t talking runnnn on sentences. 😂

Looks like you left the hobby for 3 weeks? I'm confused.

Dude. The Hobby has ALWAYS been filled with trash people. I can remember going all the way back to when I was a kid, going into card shows and seeing all of these odd looking men. I think that you make some very good points, but lets be honest here, your opinion is completely jaded, based on the fact that you have told us that you sold all of your inventory. How long have you been in the Hobby? For the record, I collected until I was around 13 (1990), then I got back into it in 2016. The Hobby was fantastic up until COVID, and since COVID it has changed drastically.

You don’t know shit about the hobby…..for example the coin card is a just a gimmick card, it’s not a chase card….nobody is chasing it.
