Panini needs to write down the inserts names on back of there cards there so many colors & names that if your new to the hobby your not know what it is.
Thanks guys for the shoutout! I hate seeing people scammed with faked cards
Great episode and valuable information for the hobby. Thanks Geoff !!!!
Appreciate the video. Some very useful and helpful stuff for someone like myself just getting started.
Was a collector in the 1980s 2000 every one help out got back in to cards in 2017 and I have came across a lot of people that will screw u over in a heart beat Trust no one.
ALWAYS EXCITED FOR THESE EPISODES!
Thank you very helpful info. Really appreciated!
Great episode! Thank you guys always!
Thank you so much for the very helpful advice.
Awesome content, great video all around
The PSA grade modifiers is one of the major reasons dealers and collectors still choose PSA and bash BGS. BGS will explain the grade with the BGS report card and that grading element will explain the final grade assigned by BGS (which will always be lower than the grade assigned by PSA). It's a way to cheat the system. PSA is incredibly guilty of this! They need to just assign the proper grade to the card as BGS does.
This is SOOOO helpful
Great show, learned alot. Thanks Bob Calderon
Great info! 👍
About the silver/refractor cards. Watch out for people selling 90's refractors. A lot of them it doesn't say refractor on the back as they do now. I notice it all the time on ebay. I always ask for more pictures so i can see if it is really a refractor by the shine, maybe ask for a different angle etc.
the "general" hobby peaked last year, now comes the pain, DO NOT DUMP YOUR CARDS, the sharks are waiting to make money off you.
That be patient one hits home. I don't seem to learn my lesson on jumping on something too quickly especially for pc stuff
@@bobbywest8460 def difference from looking for a good deal of a single then smacking box after bud
Great Video... FYI I got a killer deal on a card thanks to the market movers app at a recent card show. Saved me a lot off asking.
Feathers, feathers, feathers...everywhere. great use of that movie quote
Great stuff
12:28 - Abouda Bya is my favorite NBA rookie! Love his cards!
Great video
Awesome intel
I cannot emphasize #23 enough! Not doing this a few times has caused years of pain and hell.
Keep a record of every larger transaction; don’t trust a handshake!
I appreciate the all the videos ….
Good video!
It’s better to just drive the card to the persons house to make sure they get it secured. ;) I usually get good feedback when I do this
I told a guy he over priced a card. He told me to F off and blocked me.
shipping with signature confirmation is bad now with covid...the driver will just sign it and leave it on the doorstep. its brutal
Do you recommend Buying sealed wax from the late 90’s? I started getting those skybox/hoops/fleer back in 1990-91.
I bought a falke once... Always check the number
Ebay 12.5% seller fees plus 30 cents per item and gettin charged ebays fee for shipping price plus 22% tax add cost and grading fees plus time all your ROI is eaten up by BS.
Downside of instant pay is that you can't bundle shipping if you're looking to buy multiple items from same seller.
Just curious.if a send my Derek Jeter sp foil rookie card into PSA thru a group submitter,how do I know he won't give me a lower grade one he has back.i wouldn't trust them with any card that wasn't numbered.or if 4 people give the same Zion card how do they tell which one was who's?
i think topps meta zoo series 0 is finally being shipped out! you guys should do some box/pack opening with your boy steve aoiki! im so hyped up!
What about how people should be skeptical buying sealed wax on ebay since it's probably been weighed?
When attempting to join discord from your website it says invite invalid or expired..
I thought modifiers/qualifiers were no longer being used by PSA. I must have read that wrong.
i bought market movers mainly to track brady refractors. I have trouble when searching specific years. for instance 2010 topps chrome orange refractor etc
I'm not really happy with market movers. They seem to not have specific cards. The database needs to be much bigger.
Robert, email help@sportscardinvestor.com to see if we can help or add those cards
@@countryclubbin1016 we are adding thousands more cards every week. Database is getting better and better and will continue to grow.
@@SportsCardInvestor great to hear! I really love platform and will continue to use it.
Grading is a standard.
Industry needs a QC dept. Authenticators need to step up
Hi Geoff Wilson this is Michael Bell from Mountain View, CA I would like to remind your follower for safety not to buy sports cards where the description of the card or cards is in very very small print or letter or has there return policy in writing that you can look at and verify before you buy the sports cards and clearly states the conditions
My current issue is small cards $5-20 being claimed that they didn't arrive.(and weren't returned) Adding tracking isn't worth it and after a few times it starts to add up. Especially for people like me just trying to thin my collection and not trying to make big bucks.
You should use eBay standard envelope. It has tracking, although a bit sketch. Better than nothing.
Geoff...sometimes on your videos, I see you buy cards in person and you do PayPal. Any issues with F&F for in person deals or still prefer G&S?
Its because he’s in person and can inspect the card and slab. He also can read them and tell if they’re trustworthy etc. just if he doesn’t have the cash on hand
Good point, I use F&F for in person deals like card shows since I can inspect the card first.
@@SportsCardInvestor Awesome. Thanks!
One thing I really disliked about this is I am a new seller on Ebay and for me no one is willing to purchase anything from me because I have no sales so now I have to resort to trying to sell on other platforms. This is horrible for new sellers because now everyone is unwilling to purchase.
What happened to amber/the forecast?
I never got my cards from whatnot app! I feel like I got scammed. I reported it no word yet.
No Black Friday deal??????
The eBay feedback is tough. PEOPLE, LEAVE FEEDBACK!! I’ve built up a little bit on there from buying but I’m trying to build up more as a seller and no one who buys from me will leave feedback! Leaving feedback helps the buyer and/or the seller you’re dealing with build a good reputation and only takes a few seconds to leave a positive review! People have to start at 0 so not all low feedbacks are bad, they could just be new to the hobby! Just be aware of it! And multiple negative feedbacks is usually a red flag for sure. I bought like 30 cards at .99¢ to get a little buyer feedback but now as a seller, once the card is sold and I ship the following business day, it’s like the buyer doesn’t go back into the listing ever to leave a positive review!
What about all those dealers at show jacking up the prices ? $200 to $1,000 more than what's it's worth? Try not to get rip off by those dealers also. I see it all the times , this need to be at #1 on the list
Missing autos and cards from panini when you pay $1000 a box for crappy quality control. Then when you get ripped off by a scammer they give you bad feedback and so a bad comment is posterized on your selling page. I have a couple bad feedbacks from nut cases who ripped me off and then i get to read there bad feedback for months
eBay’s not without problems I sold a Kobe RC, guys says he’s a doctor, the card shipped 3 days after purchase, destination Hong Kong, a few emails later they said they never received it, so the whole 30 days they didn’t open a case on eBay, they waited after 30 days and went running to PayPal. By this time I emptied my PayPal account out, but PayPal sided with them and refunded them, so they got a free card plus a refund from PayPal, although Japan post answered emails, good luck tracking anything sent there and in time the tracking number went cold, so after many calls, emails, complaining, sending screenshots, PayPal finally credited back the purchase amount. It was a good thing I emptied out my PayPal account when I did, because PayPal had to pay them, so they know how to skirt the system, straight up scammers.
Does t-pot have a stiff neck or something? He can't turn his head without turning his body. Kinda creeping me out lol. Great video boys!
Haha heading to chiro next week! Sorry you got creeped!
Why must eBay sellers use up valuable title space by adding "Read Description" (or some variation of that) to the title of their eBay listing to alert the buyer of damage? Shouldn't buyers be reading the item description anyway? You imply that sellers are being dishonest if they only mention the defect in the item description. If anything, those sellers ARE being honest. It's the sellers that don't mention flaws at all that are being dishonest. Now if a seller uses a much smaller font to mention the flaw like Teapot says I can see that as being shady. But for me as a seller personally, I keep my item descriptions very short (I get it, it's a pain in the butt to read a long description) and mention any defects and keep my font size consistent. In my opinion it's the responsibility of the buyer to read the item description and terms ahead of time. If they read about the damage in the description afterwards they can request to cancel or if they notice the damage when they receive it they can send it back for a refund. I'm okay with that.
dont get scammed....ok
wow this is the first im hearing of the silver scam. god people can be such scumbags.
Is anyone interested in my 8k card collection? Average $2 a card. I've got cards from $10, $30, $50, $200, $500, and well, that's all the cards I've done. So there are still cards within my collection I have not gone through.
Look, cant fault geoff for jewing the herbert guy down. Thats the sellers fault for not having the card graded. I wpuld never even consider selling a raw card of that value. Grading it takes away any advantage geoff would have had because its a defined grade.
That cardporn post didn't age too well...
never do business with pokejew
First
Funny that he does The Forecast (Buy, Sell or Hold), Top 5 Hottest Cards, and had an episode called 'WHAT SPORTS CARDS YOU SHOULD INVEST IN' but says here that he doesn't tell people what to buy 😂 Guilty Conscience?
Top 12 Basketball Card Investments to buy for the 2020-21 season wasn't 'giving picks', as you call it on this show? 🤔
Can't believe he can sit here with a straight face and deny telling people what to buy, when on the 12 cards to buy episode he went as far as to say 'all 12 of my PICKS' have been posted on the sports card investor website', c'mon guys 😳
No kidding. I lost a bunch of money buying Mason Rudolph & rookie cards of other backup QBs that he said had the potential to increase by more than 10×. Can i send them to do Geoff? You can have them if you want them
@@IndieRapRadio oh is that the one when he kept saying that people should buy Terry Bridgewater graded RCs? You should have known he had no idea what he was talking about when he kept saying Terry Bridgewater instead of Teddy Bridgewater? 😆
Don't buy re-packs with "big chase cards" supposedly in them! You will never get them most of the time. . . Check feedback of these sellers. They will almost always have negative feedback. Your tip to not buy ungraded cards is absolutely STUPID! You don't need to pump subjective grading companies that time after time screw things up. . . Even to the point of slabbing all these fake, trimmed, backdoored, and altered cards!!! Do you not read forums? Just because something is in a slab doesn't guarantee anything, and just because something is raw doesn't mean it won't grade gem mint!
Now ebay comps and max exodus from ebay low traffic or ebay doesnt promote your listing so you get no views. Then your non paying bidder strike is a joke every week i have 5 buyers who bid on items up and outbid e1 in auctions lose value in card and sale and time frame. 15% buyers fees managed payments wait 5 days to get your money even if you have pay everyday you only get paid once a week plaus extra charges.
I sent a 400$ card back to panini for replacement cuz of a scratch. It cost me 3 stamps..lol. i put it in an envelope and mail it. No insurance, no tracking. Trust me. In the long run you will save tones of money.. i send at least 50 cards a months back to panini . Always giving me 3x comps. And extras . 😂
this baby wanted a strike for non payment of 6 dollar card lol
Why not? A $6 card is just as important as a $6,000 card. If you say you will pay for something, you pay it.
Justin Herbert scammed
Getting so tired of this new term bad actor. Bad actor this bad actor that.How about scammer, unscrupulous, cheats, thieves ???
