Bro if it werent for you I would have been so screwed selling my cards half a month ago. God bless Mr. GOAT!
I gotchu bro 😉
I just found you last week. It's awesome to see your videos improved in quality over time and the info you give is never hard to understand! You're a legend
Thanks a ton :)
Insane how much your production has improved in such a short time! This is such a solid video!
Thanks a ton!
This was really great and helpful. I will be rewatching this so i can organize my mess better.
Glad to hear it!
Great videos as always. Would love to see you make a video on level 4, going over the benefits and managing the inventory while using it. Also how you deal with keeping track of the cards you have inventoried but not listed.
Great videos and keep up the great work
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add that to the list.
@@TheLabTCG awesome. My son and I are learning a lot from your videos. Thank you
Hey I love the youtube community and how people show their passion and love to others such postive vibes
Thank you! Really glad to have you!
O.O Thanks for the shout out Will! And GREAT VIDEO
No problem!
I add index cards as spacers and separate each letter. So like I’ll have a vivid voltage A then vivid voltage B and continue on with the alphabet order and making picking orders so much faster
Great tip!
Great tips for getting started. Keep it coming and thank you for your hard work and time.
You bet! More to come :)
Thanks what should I sort it by ?
Oh ya, good to see you back from school
Thanks Ry!
I sort mine by how much I like them.
That works great!
This was very helpful thank you Mr Lab TCG!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m autistic as hell and all of my 3” D ring binders are chronologically organized, as are my ETBs that I repurposed to hold my bulk. All tabs and dividers have info on the set, symbol, date of release, # of cards, and abbreviations. All cards in each set are penny sleeved in numerical order. I’m OBSESSED with organizing cards, wish I could do it as a job 😭
You can. Organizing cards is the bulk sellers life.
Start by buying a few thousand bulk cards at $0.01 a unit or less and get listing. In a few months worth of weekends you will know if you want to keep doing it.
Another amazing video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
My pleasure!
New subscriber here, love your content very helpful and useful stuff.
Only unfortunate thing for me is TCGplayer which you mention and use alot, I’m in Australia and can’t use them here
Yo!!! I was the guy that bought a bunch of judges from you a while back! Hope it’s going good, hey do you separate your holo/reverse holos from your lists? I was thinking of a second/third 5k ct box for those but I am just not sure, kinda new and in a room with about 15k cards still being sorted! Those bcw sorting trays are a must because you can put the cards inside one and stack another on top to preserve as you’re working through it. Cheers
Thanks for supporting my store! I'm doing well. I don't separate by rarity. I keep them separate, but in the same area. For example, if I have 15 judges and 2 are reverse, ill put the two reverse holos in front of the other 13 judges. But they are still in the same place.
very helpful guide, thank you very much! Also do you sleeve your holos/reverses when storing them, or how do you do that?
Thanks! I do not sleeve holos and reverses.
Thanks for the tips ‼️🔥
No problem!!
I sort of Mine by Pokemon type like but the Eevee evolution I put them at the front of my book
Wait? There exists an actual card sorting machine? What's its limits, cost, and does it work for any tcg? I sell on Ebay a particular collectible cards that aren't on tag player, unfortunately. I used to own a small business of selling Pokémon, Yugioh, and Magic with my Ex, but felt it was too time consuming and too much competition from other sellers to make it worth my time as a side hustle

Are you TCG Player Direct? I just got to Seller Level 4 by speedrunning to it, but now I don't know what direction I want to take now lol. I haven't looked in to it yet, but I heard you need like 3000 unique listings for TCG Player direct? Also, with somebody with an UA-cam channel (or at least trying), I sort after I open. I use the BCW card sorter cuz it has like 24 slots so its easy to sort it via ABC order. And naturally, they are buy sets since I normally open when sets come out.
I’ve recently hit level 4 two weeks ago and had about 18k in inventory. I was denied Direct but just applied for pro and start putting store info in the order other than the packaging slip. Hopefully it’ll up my returning customers and I’ll apply for Direct again in a few weeks
@@ETCS423 Nice. I just saw that I need to apply for Pro or Direct, but I think I'll work on listing my inventory and then whatever the numbers add up to, I'll decide which avenue I should pursue. Thanks for the info!
Yes, I sell TCGP Direct. The requirements are semi loose if you have a big enough store.
What do you think of sorting by type, then alphabetical?
If it is for a business, probably not ideal. Set and alphabetical best for selling cards online. For a personal collection, seems fine!
@@TheLabTCG I got some work to do then.. lol
Which card sorter did you order? We've been looking into them.
Magic Sorter. I believe I am on some backlog waitlist.
Cool Love this video on businesses
Thanks Matt!
Quick question: I just sorted my last supply of bulk and I've found a few cards worth $1-$10, but they're foreign cards. Maybe 40 in total. Of those 40, 3 of them are German with German text, and the rest are Japanese and Korean. How do I go about listing those on TCG if I can't find them in the search or write specific notes on the listing?
Appreciate your videos so much 👍
Thanks a ton :)
@@TheLabTCG keep up the good work 👍
Very Helpful Trainer
Thank you trainer. 🫡
great video, thanks !
You are welcome!
Where to buy the sorting box?
Any hacks to sorting and storing different conditioned cards of the same card? e.g. You have 12 of the same pikachu, 8 nm 3 lp and 1 hp. Do you sort them in that order or just check condition when they sell?
Maybe sort by number would be easier than alphabetically
it could be, ive thought about it.
Do you ship all singles in top loader or no? I've ordered singles between $0.50 to $30 there isn't any consistency of how sellers ship my cards. Ie: $0.50 in top loader, $20 card in top loader, but then the espeon gx is sleeved and taped between two cardboard in a pwe. Most of the time, they're just packed in a small envelope with the invoice wrapped around it as protection...
For over $20, I ship with a top loader. For under $20, I use cardboard sleeves and tape. It will vary by seller.
What about hamburgers. They’re not ham, they’re beef.
you right
Ur the goat 🐐 🙌
Thank you!
Awesome video Will
Thanks Boo ❤️
hope all is going well
Thanks YCW! I hope all is well with you!
