Questions I Face Running a Local Sports/Pokemon Card Shop
You know I love this product
If it wasn't for you commenting, I wouldn't have realized that I had this video release at midnight and not later in the day like I usually do hahaha!
Nice Brady!
Awesome 👌
coming from tcg player for pokemon and mtg, ive been looking for a good sports card app. Looking for a place to log my collection and it seems decent, but i 100% see your point and to combat this wouldnt take the prices on it to heart or into consideration when making a trade. Thank you very much for this video i wasnt aware of how it could be abused this way
Damn, this is such valuable info! I had heard about the card market before & it’s valuations. I have a heap of yugioh cards but no clue what their valuation is, seems like I’ll need to keep my eye on this channel for updates on the card market $$$
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I can do a video on Yu-Gi-Oh cards if there's enough interest. I don't talk about it at all on my channel since not many care for it. I love Yu-Gi-Oh! as that was my game growing up and I still play to this day! You can use card ladder, price charting, or tcg player to look up your cards too. Just remember that the market is always changing.
Even stocks do this. Things don't just go up
I am well aware however, some who watch my videos or customers who come to my shop don't understand. This video may seem elementary to some, but valuable information to others. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video for the new people, forget about the anyone hating in the comments, ive been seeing people say the pikachu will hit 1000 lol
Thanks for watching and leaving a pleasant comment! I invite the haters as I have no problem chatting back and forth about the hobby in a fun and healthy manner. This video is fairly elementary for those that don't understand the Pokemon market or even how up and down said market can be. All these "experts" saying it will shoot right back up and maybe it will however, it'll take time and I think it'll take much longer than they think. Most people only want the card to sell it based on its price point. Not a lot of people (my customers specifically) like the card because of its artwork lol.
Thts a bull flag. Moon coming watch
I'm sorry, I don't understand this comment.
@ no prob it just mean that this is where price and volume are talking to each other and price will move higher after volume has decided it’s time.
Singles gradually depreciate and sealed products gradually appreciate while a set is still in circulation and people open more boxes; this has nothing to do with Prismatic Evolutions. If this card has demand among collectors the price will surge again after most boxes have been opened up. All of this is standard market behavior.
I always say the "best investment" in the hobby in my opinion is sealed Pokemon (boosters specifically). I think Prismatic has a strong influence on this. At my shop, all I hear is people looking forward to that set and saving their money so they can afford it when it releases. That set may not be all to blame, but it has a strong influence. (plus Christmas, the holidays, and more copies hitting the market). Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yea this is what happens when people open more packs and find more pikachus
Absolutely agree. I wonder what is having an impact more, people opening more packs and finding more pikachus, Prismatic Evolutions on the horizon, or maybe even Christmas and the holidays coming up quickly. I didn't even think of that angle myself til just now writing this reply! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I just sold mine for 2K on ebay (PSA 10) a couple of days ago. Not arguing though, I think the card will see a dip. Once surging sparks has been ripped open, and is even harder to get your hands on it'll go back up.
of course.... this guy is looking at very short term market. ridiculous
I would agree, it happens to every chase car of a given set. High price tag out of the gate, dip after it's been out for a few weeks to a couple months and then, if the card is still popular enough we will see it trickle back up. I made this video elementary for those who may not know or understand how Pokemon cards can go up and down. I appreciate you watching and commenting! Congrats on your big sale!
I mention short term and long term scenarios in the video. I focus on short term because (as I mentioned) people come to my shop asking for Surging Sparks boxes and packs or want to simply buy the Pikachu. I give them a spiel on the Pokemon market and felt the need to make a video on the topic as we're seeing the price tumble as I've been telling my customers. Long term, it could bounce right back up, but that is not a given with some power house sets coming out next year. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Your a genius, no one predicted this would happen. I mean they were only for sell everywhere meaning people new it would drop as soon as more were pulled. If people thought it was gonna keep rising in price no one would sell regardless of prismatic evolution release.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I couldn't really understand your comment because of the grammar mistakes, but I'd love to chat if you wish to clarify your point.
I live in an area with horrible pokemon selection constantly and can find Surging Sparks every day of the week
You can find it every day of the week? Lucky you! People are willing to spend an arm and a leg on this set haha. Thanks for watching and commenting!
If your looking at it from a charter/trader point of view you could say It looks like the price is in consolidation right now. That means it either goes up or even more down. If you look at this as if it were a stock then it looks very healthy.
Lots of people look at cards as a stock which i try not to do however, those people want to "invest" in cards and hence why they have a day traders mindset lol. I personally think the market was just extremely hyped up on the card and we're seeing it trickle back down to what a normal should look like in terms of the value of the card. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
It's a good thing you're not in crypto...
Agreed! I prefer physical assets that I can see, hold, and even enjoy. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Chunkychu allover again
I honestly prefer the artwork of the chunkychu over this one personally. What about you? Thank you for watching and commenting!
Wut. Three sold today for 450+ on tcg player, and 5 yesterday for anywhere from 445 to 499. It took me like ten seconds to look it up. Lowest price in tcg player right now is 480. Its plateaued a little under 500. It’s literally not dropping. The other cards , latias, gold pika, milotic dropped a little this week.
"Current market value" is very dependent on when someone looks it up. As of me writing this reply, the plateau on Card Ladder which uses sales via eBay was $577 while on TCG Player the plateau was $550 showing us it also depends on what platform or marketplace we use to look up these cards.Thanks for watching and commenting!
Somebody doesn't have a position in surging Sparks lol
Hmmm not sure I quite understand what you mean? As a local shop, I sold out of this product which I think warrants a position on the product? Unless you mean something else.
@@murphscardtownit means your are holding them. If you currently don’t own any of the set it means you don’t have a position. It’s an inverters term for trading /holding stocks
Bro this happens to every card ever 😂 dude thinks he’s on to something
On to something? No, I know it's not a new concept. However, it may be new to some people who don't know the ins and outs of the market or those who are simply new to collecting. I do my best to cater my content to collectors of all levels of knowledge and experience, not just the ones that think they know it all. People have been asking me if I have this card for sale/trade or even Surging Sparks boosters and ETBs so they can chase or have this card when in reality, the card they're chasing is cooling off. Thanks for watching!
The card isn't that great. Prismatic Evolutions will shadow SS in no time. All these bros with "positions" in certain sets are hilarious borderline psychotic..
@@TylerMelton-b2u how so? I’ve been up on every single booster box set since 2021.
@@josecabrera2899 You have no life bro. Invest into something else buy a car get a girlfriend have kids who cares. You buying and hoarding Pokemon cards isn't something to brag about on the Internet
You gotta understand most people in the hobby now are new, ive been hearing people say the pikachu is ganna be 1000 dollars this is a great video
The only reason this card was actually expensive in the first place was because it had Pikachu in the title. There is going to be no more expensive stuff for a few years and once somebody looks at the umbreon next to the greninja, prismatic evelutoins will drop too.
I personally am not a fan of the Greninja so I don't feel fondly about it as most do. For me and Prismatic though, I want to see the cards in person before I judge "how cool they are" because in photos they look okay but in person, I'd bet they look better. I'd love for you to elaborate on "there is going to be no more expensive stuff for a few years" what do you mean by that and what makes you think that?
This card is $479 on tcgplayer.
The money is in college players like Travis Hunter, Paige Bueckers, etc.
I like this take here. I agree but people near and around the shop don't really care for collegiate sports which is such a bummer. I'm trying to change that notion!
That Rocco Baldelli card is awesome!!!!!
It was cool and I think the story behind it is cooler! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome podcast Murph. Great questions, great answers.and very insightful. Keep killing it Mikey the Big.
Appreciate the support with this comment! Mikey is doing great and has a great vision moving forward. Thanks for watching!
Wooo! Let’s go Michael!
He did awesome!
I really wanna open up a store just like you. I’m not sure I have the balls like you did though. Too scared to fail but I love everything about sports and sports memorabilia, I’ve been collecting everything from high end cards to funko pops for years, this is my dream man thanks for the video
That's awesome that you want to open up a store! I'd say don't do it solely because you love sports and memorabilia do it for the people, the community. Put them first and have a vision geared towards them. If you ever want to chat about it, reach out to me and I'd be happy to share what I can! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I dunno bro in my opinion MLB,NBA,WNBA & NHL 23/24 is a buy and hold and flip 100%
Who are we buying and then holding to flip? Cards will depreciate in value over time unless you have a select few desirable cards which most people don't. The volatility and depreciation of value makes it difficult to "flip" those cards you mentioned. I'd love to get your thoughts on who specifically and how. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Common PSA W
Settle down dawg haha
No …. 😖😖Not ever 🤨🫣🫣🥴🥴🥴‼️
It was a tough box for sure but most importantly it was fun!
What a great video, finally someone honest. Sports cards are an art and that has been lost, now it is all a product of fast consumption. I have been a trader and collector for 10 years and I started with cards just 6 months ago, my recommendation is to buy what you like, analyze the players and their potential and wait for the right time to sell, let the players develop and achieve their goals.
All my videos are honest, straight forward, and transparent. Thank you for noticing! I appreciate you watching and leaving such a great comment! This hobby is meant to be fun and too many people lost track of the fun aspect and only worry about the financial side of things. Yet, the financial side of it is the one that'll betray them in the long run and not the fun. Hope that makes sense lol
No, when you buy a hobby box or high end like NT you loose 75% of your investment just by breaking the seal lol
You can't win them all, and it's all part of the fun! Well, should be fun haha. I try to tell people that if you can make half your money back on whatever the price of the box was, that's a win!
Nice cards but not worth it for 1500
That's the risk we take lol
Agree, he will ssneak into that Hall in the future.
I love the optimism! He's definitly off to a great start for his young career.
Honestly, I consider these market corrections. Rookies get way overhyped and need to come down. There are far too many 2020 bowman chrome rookies out there to sustain the high prices, and Nov-Jan all baseball levels out and drops some.
Couldn't agree more about correction. You sound like me as I've been preaching market and even hobby correction for nearly two years now haha. Thanks for watching and commenting!
No not worth it, like at all
Hahaha
Sweet video bud 👌 Thanks for sharing. 👊 😎 Have a good week!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! Have yourself a good week and upcoming weekend!
@murphscardtown All the best bud! 👊
Stadium Club always has to coolest cards to me!
Amen dude! I love the pure photography of those cards. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Joker is the Best Buy
Hard to say who the best buy is at the moment. Nothing to invest or flip at the moment. Collecting is slowly coming back and taking over.
Score?
Definitely a lower tier product haha
@ I personally think Scott is awesome
Thanks bro you video gave me reassurance
Might I ask which part of the video gave you reassurance? What are you looking to do? However else I can help, let me know. Feel free to reach out! Thanks for watching and commenting!
the whole video in general you were pretty thorough with the info you gave. Ive been procrastinating by just uploading products but now im up and running on tiktok shop . 😁 thanks again really good video👍
What app are you using to price your cards when you were using your phone?
For PSA and Beckett graded cards, I use ALT. For raw or other graded sports cards I use eBay/130 point. For Pokemon cards, I use PriceCharting. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Usually just throw them away unless someone who wants them is in the shop at the right time after someone ripped a bunch

You killed it with your box. 1/1 of the goat!
Great insights. Maybe we should just collect cards for fun and not profits. Football is not an investment sport. It’s a flipping sport. I love selling football and I never expect them to go up NFL and nba will do debut cards too
It would be nice if people could dial it back to the basics of card collecting which is, collecting haha. Thanks for watching and commenting as always!
