Ohtani is arguably going to be the one of the best baseball players ever. Ridder is just an average(maybe below average) quarterback. I still don’t understand how anybody can bet on ridder over shohei and Trevor Lawrence Edit: This comment was before ohtani went down with the arm injury. Definitely won’t be the best now. Just straightening things out now.
Watching this video 4 months after release and the intro is hilarious 😂 You can't always be right Geoff but you best be when you come with heat like that
I like how you explained the Ohtani - Ridder trade. It's definitely a big risk on your end, but you could potentially win out big - esp if you offload that if he has a strong start. I don't think the Ridder is a long term hold, however.
The Ohtani/Ridder dual auto hands down was a good trade. The Steph RPA trade at first I thought was a bad trade but after hearing your thought process I think your right. You'll definitely be able to pick that card back up in the future for quite a bit less than $150k. Well played Sir 🙌
I remember people saying the same thing when selling Mickey Mantles in the 90s Unless you think someone is going to do badly (date a 12 year old, kill and old girlfriend etc) never sell greats. Ridder is the worst 2-0 qb in the league.
I believe the difference is that you are looking at this as investment/business with a flipping mindset. Where as most of us would never sell a card like that because that is a grail card that we might never sell
I think part of the reason why this channel is awesome is because he is willing to do fun and interesting deals...just the fact that he actually making deals makes it interesting. I get it he is doing it to make his channel boom, and that's kind of the point of it all...smart.
Showing why you’re the professional. I also felt like a lot of the smaller trades were worth it to build relationships, channel content, market movers. PSA May feel the same when they see your name and are between 9/10 😂
Gambling on Ridder is crazy for me I'd never trade away that Ohtani auto RC. I did enjoy seeing you trade for the duel Shohei, Acuna Jr. auto RC & happy to see it get PSA 10. 👍
The Ridder more volatile. People go crazy over QBs. Just look up dudes who look decent Vs 3rd string in preseason. Like Bagent or O’Donnell. Their cards like 7x lol.
Everyone is treating the ohtani acuna auto like it's ted Williams and Jackie Robinson. It could easily be like a Bonds and Fred McGriff auto in 20 years. The guys are still alive. More autos will follow.
@@davemarnell8871 Yes they will continue to sign for many years to come just like players from past to now. But owning there signed RC will be more desired. Who knows if they continue to set more records this duel auto could be the next "Mantle-Griffey" signed card.
PROSPECTING PAYS OFF 1 OUT OF 509 TIMES.... TALK TO US IN 4 MONTHS. YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE HUGE. 6 MONTHS. YOU LOST EVERYTHING. YOU TRYING TO CONVINCE YOURSELF THIS IS ANYTHING BUT THE WORST DEAL IN HISTORY IS HILARIOUS AS ALL HECK
Everyone’s like “ I would never have sold the shohei ohanti” god forbid he gets injured they will trade that card faster than pressing the gas and it’s not even numbered, and if Ridder has a successful season 4-5 games , my friend that card will be 11-16k maybe more. The hype is real for nfl.
@@AlanForest You can't invest without being in it for the money, and you most definitely cannot collect anything without spending your hard-earned money. It's probably best to care about the money.
Your analysis of why you did ridder ohtani trade you explained great however I still not sure I would have pulled that one!!! But I like your idea to invest in Hurts!!! I’m almost completing his 2020 Panini prizm parallels rainbow
You have the 10 now you made more money. I really like that card.. congratulations you did good with your trade you need to keep that card long term.👏👍
@@SportsCardInvestor none of that is meant as a dig. My point is, collect what makes you happy. Trade what makes you happy. Analysis can be a good thing but don’t overthink it all. If Steph posts a video of himself waving a handgun or has a 14 year old girlfriend, all of the analysis is for not. If a trade makes sense for you then do it.
Im new in the Hobby, and with that video i learned 2 Big things. 1. Go for cards you like 2. Maybe sometimes you can make decisions for high risk - high reward and if you heart say do it, do it ^^
Who are you currently buying? Are you collecting for a PC or are you looking to buy and sell most of the cards? I’m also curious what the card market/scene is like in Germany, is it gaining more attention there?
@@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559 i collect much RC and numberd or short prints like Zebras:) yea the market is growing every Week in Germany :) we have a Sports/Trading card fair in Frankfurt ☺️
I like the logic on every trade. I’d say the Steph curry RPA one is still the one I’m the most iffy on, but as a collector who came into the hobby in 2022 and has seen all my cards drop, 20,000 in 2 months on 1 card is impressive in this market
I take back what I said originally. You could always re-buy that Ohtani Real one auto and the downtown TLaw. You are the only owner of that black no huddle Ridder...also, hind sight is 20/20 but now with Ohtani getting injured it looks even better for you. The Curry explanation is also solid - who wouldn't pocket $20k in 2 months...
I think the ridder is like 10k-13k raw cause if Zappe to many collectors someone who is going nowhere sold for 5k + ridder is high potential ridder PSA 10 like 45 k prob
I agree that Curry is no longer in a real contender. So congrats on the trades and re-grades. My only constructive criticism is that your market movers app is way too expensive. Would love to use it but can’t justify the price when I can get almost the same information elsewhere for free. Thank you
The Warriors are still a really good team. But even if they did win another championship or Steph Curry wins an MVP...how much further would his card prices go? We already know his legacy, and greatness. Same can be said for Giannis and Jokic with their awards and accolades. If you're a believer in the Celtics and Jayson Tatum or Luka Doncic, these are just some that come to mind of players now really just entering their prime. Despite the amount of money Luka cards were going for in the Covid boom, an MVP or ring...would be interesting, that being said I see Golden State doing better than Dallas unless Mark Cuban can pull off a stunning trade. Embiid with Kyrie and Luka is a contender.
Great play on that ohtani/acuna cross grade. If both players continue what they’re doing and become HOF, that card sits in a rare class of multi HOF co-rookie cards. You have the world’s best copy 🔥🔥🔥.
I own the Sam Howell 1/1 black no huddle auto psa 10, auto 10. Glad to see a similar comp because I’ve heard opinions that are wide and far apart. Both good and bad. Lol thanks Geoff!
Howell is going to be boom or bust like Ridder. You’ll know here shortly which it is. I would be a little too antsy on him and would put it up for sale unless it’s a PC Card for life or something.
only reason people say its a bad trade is because ridder is unproven. Everyone has seen year after year the big hyped QB being a bust. If ridder does well in the nfl, it would be a good trade. It is truly a gamble
I get your arguments, in stock market terms trading Shohei for Ridder is like trading Apple stock bought at peak for an equal amount of Salesforce, lots of room for projected growth. But it is a risk. The PSA 10 grades make each trade easier to like. That Ridder fits your PC makes it worth it to you either way then! 👏
Historically dual autos have been valued at way lower prices than the individual players. Even with the dual 10s, I don’t see that card being valued nearly at what it was traded for plus it’s a topps now card. Even though your value for the Steph was nice, what’s the point of having grails if any offer within the first few months would lead you to let it go. It’s not a grail and never will be. The only thing that’s for certain is the money you received in the trade. Those cards you got in return can and will go down. Will the RPA, yeah but probably not nearly as much.
Cards with multiple players on it scare me a bit. Although Acuna and Ohtani are currently both great, you need BOTH to continue along their current trajectory for it to hold up long term.
@@ACD1994multi-player vintage are my favorite! When you can’t afford their solo base cards, their multi-player cards are sometimes more affordable. If not, I’ll personally take a lower grade to make it affordable. My favorite modern multi-player is the 2022 Topps with Vladdy, Salvy and Ohtani HR leaders.
People can't realize that the upside on that Ridder is so much more than the Ohtani base rookie auto. Ohtani prices are peaking and a 1/1 prizm black auto of a starting QB is always expensive. If he gets them to the playoffs or does anything, it will shoot up.
Good video Geoff, it’s great that you face the hobby head on. Keep addressing the criticism. Even though I still think you’re wrong, Authenticity wins everytime
I’ve never even heard of Ridder but I know Ohtani will be Babe Ruth like forklore FOREVER. Even on his 4-5 seasons he’s completed. I stocked up on Ohtani during Covid when he was barely a thing. I think you lost that one! Sorry!!
Hey bro I don't watch baseball I'm more of a wwe,boxing,mma fan Can you tell me what makes ohtani really popular with fans Like is he really good or what
Geoff, but you didnt really make 15-20k with the NT Curry RPA, cause its not like you paid 130k cash and then sold it for 150k cash. Most of the value were done in trade, so until you actually sold all those cards you took in for trade, its not for certain you made anywhere close to 15k in profit.
This guy is so rich it's just fun for him. It's just content. Any of these cards he let go, he could buy them today without a thought. Congrats on the 10s!
Ohtani Ridder trade is just horrible risk reward.. Ridder already so expensive even if he lives up the hype how much upside is there?? He already priced like he’s Josh Allen and chances are he isn’t.. I’d move that card immediately if I had it… let’s say he is as good as Josh Allen.. does the card even go up in value? Seems like massive downside risk for small upside gain
There's another important consideration here, and I haven't read every comment so I apologize if this is said elsewhere ... but the Ohtani-and-Lawrence-for-Ridder deal represented a great opportunity for Geoff to play the risk-reward game. None of these cards are the main centerpieces of his collection. They would be for most of us, which I think is where a lot of the reactions are coming from, TBH. But when you have a collection this lucrative, you can afford to take shots. And I know Geoff doesn't want to take a loss, of course - but the Ridder card ultimately tanking won't represent the same level of sack-kick as it would for the majority of people commenting on it. I love his rationale for the Curry trade, as well.
People think they’re so smart, this dude is rich af and he knows how to make money. He obviously knows what he’s doing and he made some great trades here.
Shohei is on the path to becoming the greatest player ever, he's truly a rare breed of a baseball player...football quarterbacks seem to be average at best anymore, we're all searching for the next tom brady and at this point there's 1 person that comes close, pat mahomes. Me personally I've been zoning in on kenny pickett and george pickens cards
I like the trade for Ridder, and also trading the Curry away. Ridder has a lot of weapons this year, and looks like he's going to do well. You did well picking 2 stars with cards that may have gotten to their highest peak prices, and since Desmond's card hasn't yet spiked in price, and since it's pretty rare, that could turn out being a great deal. Plus, if he turns out being a mediocre QB, he at least plays for the team you back. Back in the old days, I would take a Bernie Kosar rookie card over any of the other big name QBs, because he was my guy. Very similar story here. Well, I wish you luck with the Ridder card, and hope it turns out well for you! It looked like you were happy with the deal, and that's all that really matters. Thanks for the interesting video!
I think the Curry NT RPA worked out for the buyer. It's worth considerably more than what you got for it. He knew it, and he seized the moment. On the other hand, you made a nice profit. So, it worked out for the both of you, a win/win.
Depends what you paid for the grading fee on the Ohtani/Acuna but that card is amazing - Ridder is like buying a lottery ticket so not a fan of that move
If you just had the Ridder trade I would have thought you were nuts but if you take the 3 trades together things make more sense. You moved Ohtani but got Ohtani back later plus got the TLaw back as well. You essentially moved the Curry RPA for what you lost in the original deal plus more cash which is a great flip plus got another great gold Curry. Crossing both the Ridder and Ohtani Acuna dual were great upgrades as well.
Funny how if I would’ve taken that dual auto card to PSA they would’ve given me a 9 but a big card influencer takes it and it actually bumps the card UP to a 10… I’m not talking shit, good for him I’m glad he got instant value. It’s just kind of shitty how PSA seems to be getting influenced by outside factors instead of just giving a true grading. I’ve seen a lot of instances recently where PSA has graded guaranteed 10s as 9s without any rhyme or reason. And cards that get bad grades get cracked and sent back in and receive a totally different grade. Seems as though there’s no real consistency at PSA right now. You have to hope to get the right grader on a good day where he’s feeling generous
Don’t hate the trade at all. For someone with a collection like yours, the risk is completely worth the potential reward. The prizm rookie 1/1 auto is like the holy grail of rookie autos. And I completely agree, I think ohtani is peaked based on the season he was having, and the Lawrence hype I think is still premature. Love the risky trade man, but like you said that’s the best part of collecting is the opinions on collections 👍.
I would have dumped the Curry card too. HIs auto was re-traced over a couple of times and was shaky on the 'C'. Also, the ink runs into the patch and discolored it with a black stain.
That Ridder 1/1 will be $200 in 3-4 years. Ohtani is already one of the best players to ever play the game. What a disastrous trade.
if that. ridder is not going to be in the league in 5 years
more like 2 dollars....anyone with a clue knew Ridder would never make it in the NFL
the ridder stuff already looked silly by the beginning of last season, if not earlier.
This is actually one of my favorite videos on the Channel just hearing the breakdown! Keep these up!
Ohtani is arguably going to be the one of the best baseball players ever. Ridder is just an average(maybe below average) quarterback. I still don’t understand how anybody can bet on ridder over shohei and Trevor Lawrence
Edit: This comment was before ohtani went down with the arm injury. Definitely won’t be the best now. Just straightening things out now.
Ridder won't even have a better career than russell wilson
But Atlanta's strength in schedule..
Absurd comment on ohtani
If he is flipping the Ridder..now with it being 10/10 after a hotstreak, he could probably get maybe 12k. So it could end up being a killer trade.
Agreed
Ridder got benched. How much is it worth now?
I would’ve done the Ohtani/Acuna trade and the curry trade but not the ridder trade. Ohtani is so much safer than ridder
I agree. That ridder trade was baffling
Completely agree I can’t get behind ridder
I concur, I live in Georgia but still can’t get behind the idea of ridder at QB 1 I feel like we need too draft a QB early next year
I appreciate how you share your thought processes when making a trade, it would be great if you do more videos like this.
When you decided to turn down the wander Franco superfractor, I thought you were crazy. Now it seems pretty smart with the controversy.

at least you avoided the Wander superfractor lol
Haha true!!
This might be the greatest sports card fail of all time.
ARE YOU STILL FEELING GREAT ABOUT IT?!?! 😂😂😂
I wouldn't have traded Ohtani straight up for Ridder. Ohtani goes to the Dodgers and plays like he did for the Angels lookout.
If Ohtani goes to the Dodgers I’ll eat my shoe at his first game there
Divine Wind in LA lots of homers and strikeouts
How much money can the dodgers spend? If they sign ohtani their payroll would look so stupid.

None of these cards are the main centerpieces of his collection. They would be for most of us, which I think is where a lot of the reactions are coming from, TBH. But when you have a collection this lucrative, you can afford to take shots. And I know Geoff doesn't want to take a loss, of course - but the Ridder card ultimately tanking won't represent the same level of sack-kick as it would for the majority of people commenting on it.
I love his rationale for the Curry trade, as well.
People think they’re so smart, this dude is rich af and he knows how to make money. He obviously knows what he’s doing and he made some great trades here.
Shohei is on the path to becoming the greatest player ever, he's truly a rare breed of a baseball player...football quarterbacks seem to be average at best anymore, we're all searching for the next tom brady and at this point there's 1 person that comes close, pat mahomes. Me personally I've been zoning in on kenny pickett and george pickens cards
Shohei is on the path to another TJ unfortunately.
We can officially say you lost this trade lol
and...I FEEL GREAT ABOUT IT !! 🤣🤣😅
I like the trade for Ridder, and also trading the Curry away. Ridder has a lot of weapons this year, and looks like he's going to do well. You did well picking 2 stars with cards that may have gotten to their highest peak prices, and since Desmond's card hasn't yet spiked in price, and since it's pretty rare, that could turn out being a great deal. Plus, if he turns out being a mediocre QB, he at least plays for the team you back. Back in the old days, I would take a Bernie Kosar rookie card over any of the other big name QBs, because he was my guy. Very similar story here. Well, I wish you luck with the Ridder card, and hope it turns out well for you! It looked like you were happy with the deal, and that's all that really matters. Thanks for the interesting video!
You did well overall. Especially getting 10/10 on the ridder and ohtani.
I’ll say this, Geoff. I don’t know if you won on the Acuña/Ohtani card trade but you certainly did not lose! Double PSA 10s! Really nice pickup!
I think the Curry NT RPA worked out for the buyer. It's worth considerably more than what you got for it. He knew it, and he seized the moment. On the other hand, you made a nice profit. So, it worked out for the both of you, a win/win.
Love the intersection of sports cards x investing. Had no idea you were an Atl fan. Go Dirty Birds!
It's hard to predict what will happen in the future. As long as you're happy with the trade, then that's all that matters! Good luck, everyone!
People are quick to criticize. It’s easy to do so from the sidelines.
This was a great video and congrats on the two 10 10’s!
And in this episode of Sports Card Investor…
Geoff pwns everyone.
Nice grades on the pickups, congrats! Beautiful cards.
NOPE. YOU ARE DEFINITELY POOR
Depends what you paid for the grading fee on the Ohtani/Acuna but that card is amazing - Ridder is like buying a lottery ticket so not a fan of that move
On the ohtani/acuna PSA regrade. Did you put a min grade on your order of 10 or ...?
If you just had the Ridder trade I would have thought you were nuts but if you take the 3 trades together things make more sense. You moved Ohtani but got Ohtani back later plus got the TLaw back as well. You essentially moved the Curry RPA for what you lost in the original deal plus more cash which is a great flip plus got another great gold Curry. Crossing both the Ridder and Ohtani Acuna dual were great upgrades as well.
NOPE. YOU ARE DEFINITELY POOR
Great vid!
Funny how if I would’ve taken that dual auto card to PSA they would’ve given me a 9 but a big card influencer takes it and it actually bumps the card UP to a 10… I’m not talking shit, good for him I’m glad he got instant value. It’s just kind of shitty how PSA seems to be getting influenced by outside factors instead of just giving a true grading. I’ve seen a lot of instances recently where PSA has graded guaranteed 10s as 9s without any rhyme or reason. And cards that get bad grades get cracked and sent back in and receive a totally different grade. Seems as though there’s no real consistency at PSA right now. You have to hope to get the right grader on a good day where he’s feeling generous
Respect your thinking on doing those trades.
I feel like card rating is riddled with corruption.
Those would have been hard trades for me to make. But I feel like the Ohtani and Acuna card could be a big winner one day
I just won the DESMOND RIDDER 2022 NATIONAL TREASURES ROOKIE NFL SHIELD BALL PATCH AUTO 1/1 RC. Im getting it graded now. I hope it pays off too.
Sell asap
Don’t hate the trade at all. For someone with a collection like yours, the risk is completely worth the potential reward. The prizm rookie 1/1 auto is like the holy grail of rookie autos. And I completely agree, I think ohtani is peaked based on the season he was having, and the Lawrence hype I think is still premature. Love the risky trade man, but like you said that’s the best part of collecting is the opinions on collections 👍.
That NT Curry autograph going into the patch would have my OCD raging.
I would have dumped the Curry card too. HIs auto was re-traced over a couple of times and was shaky on the 'C'. Also, the ink runs into the patch and discolored it with a black stain.
