Sports Card Investing 101: Where to Buy Sports Cards.
Рет қаралды 40,276
Күн бұрынThere are so many platforms and ways to find sports cards. In this video, I rank my top 8 platforms and methods of buying sports cards along with the pros and cons of each. Keep in mind, I am not including retail stores like Walmart and Target. Instead, I'm focusing on places where you can find individual cards.

Just got back into collecting. I have about 27,000 cards right now: baseball, football, some basketball. Mostly 1986-92. I just picked up 12 factory sealed sets today locally on Facebook Marketplace. I spent about $170 today and found pages full of Montana, Rice, Elway, Sanders, etc. Definitely exciting! Great content. I subscribed for future vids! I'm still debating on keeping in the family or selling.

Over the last year I got back into collecting Pokemon cards, I grew up in the 90s and loved collecting the cards. It's been a big dose of nostalgia for me but now I'm at the point where I want to make money one day. I'm ready to venture into sports (mainly football) cards. I've watched 2 of your new card collectors videos and I love all your info, man. A basic question I have is when you purchase a box or pack, is it generally a set amount of generic cards and typically one or 2 better? (like pokemon you get the energy card, 7 or so common/uncommon cards then 2 rare cards).

Buying from COMC via eBay will cost more, so if you don't need the card in the near future, check the price on COMC. It could be 20% less. But if you want the card shipped to you asap, then eBay is fine.

should only buy/sell graded cards on ebay. How can you buy a raw card without seeing it? Seems like a silly choice. Also, I've been doing well buying lots. I'll buy 2-3 psa 10s. Sometimes you can get the value of one card being free. Got 3 Pete Alonso's PSA 10s for $105. Those are worth $70 each

Hi Brad, another good video. I've been catching up on old ones and I have a question about COMC. You mention in some videos that you like COMC because you can see price data. Do you have to pay for the useful data? When I click the price history data it's rather useless - it only shows a tiny bar graph that you can barely get anything useful from and an "N sales up to $xx.xx". I can't see individual sales prices or meaningful trends.
@TheComebackCardInvestor 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Paul. Yes, the data is not that advanced, but I like seeing how many were sold in a given quarter and when the price peaked. For graded/higher end cards, I always refer to Card Ladder or Market Movers, but that is enough for me to know what times of the year people are buying that card, what was the most it sold for, etc and that's important for me with these inserts and random cards that aren't the top RCs that are very popular.

Really curious about the extent to which you “cleaned out Beckett”....I’ve bought a ton from a shop in California on there, and when I looked (mid Oct) they were by far the best on their in terms of price and selection. Did I pick up your scraps or did you avoid California shops to avoid tax? Amazing how much higher prices for newly listed cards are...

Hey Garbj. I'm glad you were able to find deals. A lot of times people will complain to me that they can't find anything worthwhile, but they're looking for Patrick Mahomes Optic RCs for 1/2 price. I've bought a few times from Simi Cards, Burbank Sports Cards, and I think 1 other in CA. There are deals, just very few obvious ones.
@garbjbarg6314 3 жыл бұрын
@@TheComebackCardInvestor thanks for the reply. Big thumbs up on all your vids, in my opinion by far the most insightful and balanced channel on sports cards. Burbank is the only shop I’ve bought from on Beckett. Jimmy Butler & AD were still dirt cheap on there during the finals, now not so much. I think JB will go from outcast to fan favorite (started already), the Heat play team bball and will be the most fun team to watch in the East for years to come. Bought lots of other players too but loaded up on those two, which were priced substantially below market $ at the time and more so now. Thoughts on JB, Heat? Thanks again

Is now a bad time to buy? I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a rare (1 of 75) Luka Prizm card for $7500. I'm just worried that the market is way overinflated right now. I plan on hanging onto this card for several years, so the price I pay today might not matter if it's a long term investment. What do you think?
@TheComebackCardInvestor 3 жыл бұрын
Personally, I'm buying a ton now because most people don't have the money at the moment and a ton of institutional money is entering the hobby, but I don't believe it's fraction of what it will be. As for this specific card, you better believe Luka is the real deal long term and can live with the fact he may get injured in 2 years and never be the same If you have deep pockets, perhaps it's worth the roll of the dice. If $7500 is a good chunk of what you want to invest, I would player it safer....like Kobe Auto cards.It's up to you, but $7500 for a card that there are 75 of sounds very steep to me
