I feel seen

Just tried and no, not really. It's a bit too tight left to right with a penny sleeve I think.

Hopefully lots of 10's in both of our futures then. :)

@@everycardastory hell yea

I’ve also debated running auctions to sacrifice margin, but to increase sell time, and possibly overcome the lesser margin with way more volume, therefore having a higher overall profit..

Thanks for the kind words! Looking forward to seeing your upcoming reveals!

Oh man. I'm so cheap. I literally went to Walmart and bought a pack of these foam things in assorted colors from their craft section. :) Nothing fancy

Thanks for tuning in. I've never cracked and sold raw before, so it didn't cross my mind. I do suspect, thinking about it now, that I may have gotten a little more for it if I listed raw and noted the print line. I know a lot of collector's just don't care about whether the card is graded or not, and to them, maybe a non-gem slab is just less appealing than a raw card that they can display themselves however they want. I've got a bunch of Spurs cards in my PC that wouldn't gem, but I'm super happy to have them raw because they're still gorgeous cards. Probably a lot of other folks like me there.

@@everycardastory Thanks for the detailed response. I'm not a fan of raw being close to psa 9 in value makes little sense to me

Hrm...nothing that stood out at least. I can double check when they come back.

I don't remember the exact date, but not long. I know a lot of folks are getting stuck in Assembly for a long time, but for me, I seem to get stuck in Order Prep and R&D. Grading has been super fast, and Assembly is typically 5 or 6 days.

Thanks!

You _could_ be right, and that's what I always kind of thought. But I watched a video recently (wish I could remember on what channel) where they successfully got a numbered card to bump to a 10. We'll see I guess. :/

Goooood question. It may not? I assume they'll up-charge to value bulk if not. Stay tuned I guess. :)

Will definitely work on that at some point!

I appreciate the tip on purple. I've heard others say the same as ell about mostly steering clear other than color match situations.

I don't, yet. Will be working on a couple shorter videos walking through some of the functionality though as a few people have asked now.

Hmmm...sorry about that! I'll have a look and see what I might be doing wrong there.

I noticed that same thing

@@actionjacksonsj I think I tracked it down. Should be fixed on my latest: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9lpqMyC3pa9nH0.html

Really appreciate the video. I dunno if this is a series for the masses but you have a subscriber here. The cards that aren’t listed will they be pc’d. Maybe they can be removed from the calcs.

​@@echoecho7601I appreciate the kind words! No, those aren't PC cards so they will eventually get sold and show up in the final profit.

Appreciate the comment! Actually wanted to chat with you about something, but not sure how best to message you. :) If you're keen to chat, drop me a note: [email protected]

@@everycardastorysent you an email. Looking forward to chatting

I can work on that for sure. Anything in particular? Or just a general overview?

Nice! Best of luck!

I did some homework on the declared card value and I'm going to get a video posted soon going over what to post and how it impacts your order. Typically, I have been going with somewhere between a raw and PSA 10 value personally.

Thanks!

@@everycardastory love your videos! Do you cut all your penny sleeves or do you buy them pre cut on 1 side? I need some of those would make my life so much easier lol

@@Happylights0828 I've cut them myself in the past, but bought a full case of pre-cut from Cardboard Gold. I've had mixed feelings. The cut is super inconsistent so some are so deep that the corner of the card sticks out. I'll probably still buy another case when these run out because I'm lazy and the pre-cut is really nice, but I'm hoping they get a bit more consistent.

I know I have a tendency to ramble a bit so it's nice to hear someone found it useful. :) Print lines are just _soooo_ common on today's cards.

Yup. Super solid points on pop count and gem rate. Definitely makes sense for it to come down, just kind of interesting how in this case, you can literally see the exact sale where it flipped. :)

Oh you're 100% correct. It's a bit of the off-season and a bit of supply/demand for sure. I'm kind of taking a mixed approach right now where I don't mind being a bit more open to offers on some of his base and other things with higher pop counts, while being a lot less aggressive selling some of the parallels that are a bit harder to get your hands on.

@@everycardastory everyone grading same exact players and same exact cards honestly they do same thing in football with cj stroud

​@@joelkaplan2157 For sure. Makes sense...those guys are probably your safest bet at least for moving cards quickly. Some great cards of the "other guys" tend to sit around for quite a while. Grading other less popular stars though is really starting to grow on me (I think you'll see some mixed in a few upcoming submissions) because the low-price point means you can nab some really cool cards of them. You just have to be ok with maybe sitting on them a little bit longer.

@everycardastory I think more then 1 exact science to it that's why people don't only grade those guys

That's whuppit.com/. Built that for myself because I outgrew my spreadsheets. :) There's a discount code in the video description if you want to kick the tires (also comes with a free 30-day trial anyway)

Solid question! I either post them on eBay raw, and note any significant flaws, or, more and more, I'm sending them to COMC. A lot of the cards I don't grade are just super tiny blemishes...a dot or indent here or there. I'm pretty picky, typically. COMC so far has been really good about marking any with significant issues as a lower quality as they list them.

@@everycardastory definitely thinking about sending to COMC. Theres just too much effort in putting it back on eBay and shipping it again. Rather have all my graded cards on eBay.

In this case, everything in the order is from eBay. That's where I get most of my cards nowadays, though I do some ripping for fun for sure. I do use COMC as well, but mostly for PC cards-I've been picking up some nice Ginobili, Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and David Robinson's from there lately.
