Thanks for swinging by the table and making a deal!

We will be setup at the East Bay Card Show in Concord as our last show in 2024!

@@IntropyDRcool me and my kids will be there sunday we are big fan of ur channel we just started collecting pokemon cards again

Ha ha ha that just proves I'm old! 😂

It's great to hear from you again Jeffrey! Hope you and your family are doing well this holiday season. Always appreciate your continued support of the channel! I definitely am making sure Post-It's will be around for a while! 😂

No worries! Thanks for stopping by the table and saying hi and supporting the channel, that honestly means more than a sale!

Mid to high end we pay 65-70% cash, 70-80% in trade!

90% of these slabs need to be sent back to PSA to get reholdered. The 8 slabs that we are keeping should be posted in our ebay store after the weekend.

While not in high grades, vintage cards can still fetch a good amount of money in graded form.

That’s what the grader said .

I'd recommend checking out the Charmander Legendary Collection and look at the front middle edge of the slab, that's likely the most apparent flaw.

Once they get back from PSA and are in a much more acceptable condition, we can post them in our ebay store for you to view!

Best of luck with your grades!

Would really love to hear how you think we are losing so much money.

💅

The last comp was for $100. We are currently the lowest available on ebay priced at $175.

Yes, sometimes slabbed cards will sell much quicker than a raw card. In regards to your Pikachu example, currently we are the only available PSA 6 reverse holo Pikachu on Ebay at $450.

Unfortunately, I'd say that the shops I'd recommend worth visiting for Pokemon are all located in the South Bay, not near San Francisco. If you just want to take a look at some local shops in the SF region, Lefty's is across the freeway from SFO, but be aware they are priced on the higher side as they are a sports card shop. There's also Versus game store in SF that is catered to TCGs and essentially I'd say is the heart of competitive gaming in SF, but I haven't been there in a while so I'm not sure of pricing/availability.

You win some, you lose some. Can't win them all!

@@IntropyDR I agree. You can't win them all. That is a great philosophy to have.

All I want to say is that vendors have a right to price their items at whatever they want. However, patrons should really vote with their money, as that's what really matters. By the way, we had 8 Celebrations UPCs on Ebay listed at $315. 😉

We are doing are best to get in as many Zs as we can!

We purchased the buying mat from InkedGaming I believe.

Hmm, not sure why that may be. You're not the first person to say that either. We haven't made any changes on the backend, but we've been doing our best to get 2 videos per week for you all!

Facts lmao, funny how the vendors who sell the most are the ones who knock off a few bucks / knock off 10-20% on bigger deals While the sticklers have the same inventory week after week

@ not sure how other shows are but in the bay it’s usually the same vendors with the same cards at every show . I started realizing it after walking a few shows … plus some of them add their own tax on top … crazy

Yeah, as somebody who sells a lot of cards in person and on TCG Player/eBay, I never really understood that argument form the Vendor side. The Tax vs shipping is basically a wash since something that high end would probably be best shipped with some insurance. And then the fees for selling on TCG Player/ebay is 10% (plus a future tax hit). So like, paying $290 is kinda a $20 profit for him. Also, not chance of an accidental headache due to shipping errors or shady customers.

I never understood that argument of Ebay taxes + shipping. Personally, as an online business that uses Ebay as a storefront, it makes sense to pass on the discount to the customer of what the costs are of Ebay's fees + shipping costs (we always offer free domestic shipping). We as the seller actually take home more money at the end of the day (not mention less work), the customer gets a below market price on the item, and hopefully you have a now repeat happy customer for future transactions and business. But that's just how we see it, maybe we are missing something. 🤷‍♂️

@@IntropyDR Yup the best course of the transaction is finding a number where both parties are happy. Never had a bad transaction with you good sir!

Unfortunately it happened again at this past weekend's show.

saying something everyone else is thinking..

I'll admit upfront that trade up challenges aren't advantageous as a business, but we always do our best to help those who are participating in the challenge, regardless of how old they are, as long as it's within reason. We like to think of it as helping the Community and hopefully stacking up on our karma points. 😉
