      Fantastic job finding those profitable cards and turning them into something so special. Who recognized the Jalen Hurts upside?

      The way Jalen handled himself after getting benched in the National Championship really impressed me. He stood out as a man of character. Then I learned about his leadership and work ethic and I was sold. Obviously talent is very important, but so much of a QBs success is determined by intangibles like leadership, work ethic and the talent surrounding him. Jalen had the “it factor” to me.

    Cards paid for our Wedding, Honeymoon and down payment on our first home back in 2010. In 2021, I sold most of my triplicate and duplicate vintage sets and star cards to purchase a lake house and hundreds of acres of farm ground. I put tons of vintage cards away in the early 2000s just after I graduated college. It was a great time to be a collector!!

      No doubt this was justification to you for all those who said "stop spending your money on cards... it's junk!" (usually parents, maybe the wife, and perhaps mates ribbing you for 'collecting junk'). Satisfying moment, I'll bet!

    Wow. This video brought me to tears. Brother Ty, the video of the curator and now this. It's beyond cards man. Thank you so much for these videos. I actually was weeping watching that little girl saying "momma." I have a sister with downsyndrome and is non-verbal and that really melted much heart to hear this little girl and see this family. Please continue to make videos like these.
    Ty, please let me know how I can support you. I'm praying for you brother and truly thank you for content like this. It truly illustrates that it's more than just cards. And to see the eternal weight of our lives. Praise God.
    Love you brother and truly hope to meet you someday.

    • @CHASINGCARDBOARD
      @CHASINGCARDBOARD  Рік тому

      Glad your enjoying the channel!
      You question… you have to factor in the costs of grading and the shipping to and from.
      Sometimes getting a card graded to make to card explode in price, and lame times the costs of grading cost more than the card. Do your research and see if the card is desired and have good comps. Graded vs raw.

      Select is different...there are 3 tiers of cards...the 0-99, 100-199, 200-299's.... they are the different "levels" Brent mentioned. Each level gets a little more short-printed.. Usually top rookies have a card within each level... So within Select, a RC will have a card within each tier. But in 2017, Mahomes only had a RC within 2 of the tiers.... meaning he only had two of the Black 1/1's instead of the normal 3.

      @BaseballCollector nice of you not to trash them on the internet. Still some potential to build a low grade set and resell. Availability of ANY cards in those years is an issue. Ideally you would hope at least to find cards with decent eye appeal though. Not always easy to spot creases right away either. I had an expensive and time consuming search building a nice set of 1979 Topps Baseball years back. Bought some PSA 8s and made sure all the others were as good or better. Forgot about investment return very early in the chase!!!
