This was a great tutorial! I’ve been looking into flipping cards for a few months now and this is by far the best content on how to do it so thank you!
I love sending in PC Cards to PSA!! Just knowing that they will be safely and securely encapsulated forever and I can display and handle them without a lot of fear really makes me feel at ease!! Have an awesome one!!
promo cards have a higher chance of having flaws straight out of the pack compared to cards you can pull because of the packaging differences so that's what the deal is with that flareon having a worse gem rate. it's usually whitening.
Thanks for being willing to say what your plays have been. Most people hide it until months after. I have a few things to submit but i don't have any prescreeners i my area. I do pretty decent but a second set of eyes would be great.
Yeah, I want everyone to benefit from opportunities in the market!! I’d be failing on my commitment to this channel if I didn’t share everything and be as transparent as I can be. I really believe this is an amazing group of Poke heads we have here and I’m excited for us all to crush this hobby together!! Appreciate you as always my friend!!
Great video, really appreciate the in-depth analysis! Don't suppose you're willing to share your Excel sheet for analysing Pokemon cards as opportunities do you @PikaPikaPaPa ?
You brought up an interesting point about the Flareon VMAX PSA 10 Rate. I shopped around on Mercari for the right deal on the Premium Collection boxes that had good Promo Pics w/ good centering. I got 2 sets of these boxes, 1 to open and one to keep sealed. Luckly, The Vaporeon and Jolteons came back x3 PSA9 and x1 PSA10 (Jolteon VMAX) but both Flareons were in rough shape so I kept them in the boxes sealed for now. I'm doing like you now, and hunting for raw cards. I've been lucky enough to buy some middle level hitters in the $10-30 range that sell PSA8 @$25-35, PSA9 @$50-$60, and PSA10 @$100+. It's a very nice risk to reward safe zone. Thanks for the awesome vid as always.
Looovvveeee that you look at the 8 values as well to encompass it into the downside risk protection. You won’t get a ton of them but knowing that there is a market and a decent price waiting for you is genius!! It’s been tough sledding on the EBay front trying to find those hidden gems. They def didn’t do these poor cards any favors with the packaging that’s for sure!! Always appreciate you Mark, have a great one brother!!
Thanks for the info. I’m using a similar strategy so it’s nice to know that I’m on the right track. My next project is to figure out how much taxes are going to impact my potential profits.
Uncle Sam will always come for his cut! Best thing to do is talk to a tax professional as there are a lot of ways you can minimize your tax burden. As the old saying goes, “it’s not how much you make it’s how much you keep”. Appreciate you as always my friend, have an awesome one!!
@PikaPikaPaPa You welcome and good morning to you. You truly are an early riser! Lol 😆. Your definitely giving me some interesting ideas which I appreciate and I absolutely love the data graphs etc. It's fantastic definitely what the Pokémon community needed! You'll be at a thousand subs and have you're advertising soon. UA-cam been having ads on you're videos already which really really annoys me.
great video! im sure your pre screener you have worked with for a long time and trust them. the one thing i worry about with cards that are not serial numbered sending to someone before grading is them switching the card for a worse condition version as i heard that before.
Yeah I can totally see how that’s a concern! I feel secure as I’ve been to their physical location, they send me pictures and have an excellent reputation. I’ve also got enough big dollar 10’s through them that if they are skimming they are doing a poor job of it 😂😂. However, even with all that it’s still a bit never wracking!! I really appreciate the comment and I hope you have an awesome day!!
One of my favorite releases you've shown! Very excellent ! And I wouldn't worry toooooo much about a giveaway, unless its very Easy for you to do financially! Just saying!
AWESOME!! So happy you liked it!! I’ve been putting aside a dollar or two per video since I started this because I knew I wanted to share some love with everyone at some point. It’s almost a selfish move because I’ll be so darn excited to send somebody a prize it’s almost more for me then for them 😂😂. I sincerely appreciate you man, you have an epic one!!
great video! this is an amazing process. i have to ask though, do you factor in taxes due at the end of the year? what might seem like profit might end up going to big brother
Awesome question, Uncle Sam always gets his cut!! I think it's a case by case basis where you have to know your tax bracket and selling volume. You'd have to factor in some sales where you have some loss which would offset the gains. For us we do our Pokémon buying/selling/content through a DBA under our LLC so we have some abilities that are unique. There is an old saying in investing that you should always be aware of taxes but don't make a move based solely off them. If what you would pay in taxes would completely negate your upside it's probably not a good investment vehicle. That's at least my thoughts. EPIC question man!!!
If you really wanna make some bank and got the time, go look at prices on diamond and pearl era holos. Talking 700 dollars or more for a psa 10 and raw cards costing about 10$. And psa 9s for over 100. Torterra and infernape from diamond and pearl and articuno from majestic dawn are huge chases and payoffs in a psa 10. Thats what im going after right now, hard to source though
Love that you’re chasing those, those are amazing!! I’m always looking to expand my chase list. I haven’t worked my way back to D&P yet but i bet there are some amazing opportunities in that space. Love the input and love the comment, I appreciate it more then you know!! Happy hunting and let me know if/when you score a big one!! Have an epic night my friend!!
@@PikaPikaPapa will do. And if you REALLY wanna dive down the rabbit hole, look into "buyee". Its ebay for japan and ylu have to use google translate but you can find some serious gems there with very low pops in good raw condition. I just picked up a mint copy of a rayquaza ex 3/12 promo from a starter deck thats worth 250 in a 9 and 600 in a 10 for about 20$. Youll only find crummy copies of these types of cards on ebay that people have already imported and sold back to the market as NON psa 10 candidates but if you actually look in japan you can have some pretty amazing luck somtimes.
Absolutely! This might be a good video topic but at a high level I’ve been in the sports card grading space for a long time and I found a card shop in Georgia that really is a throw back to old school card shops and is run/owned by a guy who’s been in the biz for over 40 years. I’ve been there in person and have used them for a ton of submissions so the trust and rapport is there. The only downside is that sometimes I don’t get the same discounts as if I were a PSA club member. However, in my mind, the upside fat outweighs that. They have saved me a ton in grading fees over the years by noticing things I’ve missed and on the flip side there have been times where I might have not subbed a card but had nothing to lose by sending it to them and they’ve subbed and I’ve got awesome grades!! Ok after typing all this out I’ve decided I need a whole video on it LOL!! More to come but I hope this at least helps!! Feel free to ping me with more questions and I’ll be happy to answer!! Have an EPIC one!!
I have a question on these modern plays where first to market gives the ultimate premium until there's no more margin as more gets graded. If I graded 10 cards and all of them were PSA 10s and I'm first to market, would you flood all 10 slabs to auction, trickle them down with auctions day by day, do 1 listing post with 10 available and trickle down the BIN price to market value. What would be the best play here, are there options I'm not considering, maybe spread the listings to other selling platforms like mercari?
This is an awesome question!! I’ll check eBay sold listings first and if multiple 10’s are selling everyday at prices I like I have no problem doing multiple BIN listings and I might run an auction or two with different end times. In addition I’ll use other platforms in conjunction just as you described. I’m a fan of FB Marketplace and I’m in a few B/S/T FB groups where I can post cards as well. I haven’t done mercari or OfferUp yet not for any reason other then I just haven’t lol. Usually I don’t have a problem moving cards. I’be got a pretty decent system for finding cards that are in demand thus helping with the liquidity factor. Again, awesome question and I appreciate it!! Have a great one!!
I’ve used GotBaseballCards.com for years and they are TOP NOTCH!!! They are one of the most established, professional and legit ones doing it. Can’t say enough good things about them!
Definitely a good video was looking forward all weekend and didn’t disappoint. Quick question , how you land on 12$ shipping for 4 cards , especially if you hit 2 10s. How you getting away with $3 each on these? Discord link fixed ?
So the discord link is on my PikaPikaPaPa project plan for this week lol. I can’t be that old that I can’t figure it out!!! You know on the shipping I’m averaging about $3-$4 I just shipped a football card out this morning for $3.60 so $3 a card might have been a touch light. Maybe $4 or $4.50 a card moving forward just to be safe. I think that’s a good call out and $4.50 is good number to use moving forward. Every penny counts!! Ok I’m off to battle with Discord!! Have an awesome one my friend!!
@@PikaPikaPapa makes since thanks for the clarification but your right on lesser values cards that $1.50 delta can be big especially when your trying to drive volume for a potential distributor. If you need help with the discord let me know happy to help - off to play chess
Geez, what a great video! I love love love huge % spreads between the raw card and a PSA 10. Those eevee-lutions boxes where the PSA 10 is about 500% the value of the raw card is a perfect example. I love the downside risk that is "low cost to entry" too! Buy an $18 Vaporeon alt art promo with a downside of only losing the 18$ entry? lol ill take that with the upside of a 500% gain (not taking into account expenses). My heart says you're doing everyone such a service. My head says stop giving away the economic cheat sheet lol... I'll let my hearts advice win on this one though. Enough room for everyone in the hobby. Capitalism isnt standing room only, plenty of seats
Hahahahaha!!! Listen…. I thought long and hard about it. At 400 subs I think it’s ok to share all the secrets if we grow maybe I’ll be a little less timely 😂. In all seriousness though you’re right the upside and downside protection here is really outstanding and the entry point is incredibly approachable. I’ve got quite a few of these I’ll be sending off in my next PSA sub and I’m seeing dollar signs already lol!! Always appreciate you my man, have an awesome one!!
I grew up really poor so I couldn't collect much. Now I have a bad habit of getting REALLY into flipping collectibles so I can fund the ones that I want for myself.
Such a smart strategy!! Love that you are able to leverage the supply/demand in the hobby to be able to fund your PC!! Congratulations my friend and happy hunting!!
If u had to choose between celebrations and evolving skies for a long term investment, which one would you chose? Ofc both but if you really had to chose.
Oh man… I read this and spent a loonnggg time thinking about it. I even went into all my spreadsheets because it was a tough call. Here is my thought, ES is my pick and here is why. Sun and Moon has a booster box at $900 in Team Up, XY has Evolutions holding at $700 and Flashfire which is just crazy. Each series seems to have that “it” set that just goes bonkers. ES sure feels like that set to me. Celebrations you’d have to get the UPC and it’s the same price as ES Booster right now. I think ES booster might outpace Celebrations in the 5 year time frame but Celebrations might have the 10 year edge. Gun to my head I’m saying ES but dude it’s a total gut feeling!! LOVE questions like this that get the smoke to come from my ears 😂😂. Appreciate you man!!
Superb question!! I’ve seen several “lots” with all 3 graded in 10 and I didn’t see any premium realized. It was an extremely small sample size and mostly auctions so it would be interesting to try a BIN with a 5-10% premium baked in. My gut tells me it would sell… haven’t fixed the discord yet BUT that is my project this week!! I’m determined to figure it out 😂. Have a great one brother!!
PSA GEM guideline are front within a tolerance not to exceed 55/45 to 60/40 front and 75/25 on back. I’ve found in my grading times that if centering is off everything else needs to be an absolute 11 if centering is spot on you can have some wiggle room. Eye appeal is a big part of the PSA grading process in my opinion and I look for centering before I look at anything else. Freaking epic question, I love it!! Thank you!!
I feel like these cards were horrible left to right thickness so be wary if you want to make this your play as well people. If you don't know what that means, you aren't ready for PSA. Do some more research before you go that route.
Centering and poor packaging have been the 2 big challenges I've noticed. I get they want them securely in the box but I've had quite a few where the corners are bent or whitened on the back because they are jammed in there! Good call out on the centering man, have an awesome one!!
Yeah it’s been a crazy run to say the least. I’ve been really fortunate to have an EPIC group of Pokémon collecting maniacs along for the ride with me which makes the work fun!! I appreciate you more then you know and thanks for the support!! Have an EPIC one!!

@@greypeterson628 No worries, always here to lend a hand! Thanks for the sub, I really really appreciate it! Have an awesome day!!
tried to find the gemrate on the psa website and couldnt lol
PSA doesn't publish it but you take total 10's divided by total subs to get yourself the GEM rate! Gemrate.com also has a lot of awesome info on it!
I feel like these cards were horrible left to right thickness so be wary if you want to make this your play as well people. If you don't know what that means, you aren't ready for PSA. Do some more research before you go that route.
Centering and poor packaging have been the 2 big challenges I've noticed. I get they want them securely in the box but I've had quite a few where the corners are bent or whitened on the back because they are jammed in there! Good call out on the centering man, have an awesome one!!
