I purchased 2 collections this week. One was a HUGE sports card collection and the other was a smaller pokemon collection that I flipped as quick as I got it, lol.

I sold more in Pokemon at the show Sunday than I did sportscards.

I watch youtube of the Pokémon trading/selling, and the amounts of money being exchanged is crazy. I hope you are making a fortune.

Depending on price I’d buy them anyways.

#700 on Ebay is crazy in PSA 10. Selling for $500-$800. And people are paying that.

If ISA GRADING is selling a graded 10, off their own website, am I crazy for getting that card for $200?

Actually its trifecta grading that sells off their own website.

I would gamble for 200.

Well, when I crack them all and send them to PSA? We will then find out how great of a deal this was. But I'm a gambler, so I had to rake a chance.

Make sure you measure them first. Double check they aren't trimmed.

If they check out then GOOD ON YOU!

Im finding out that buying raw Ohtani, Skenes or Judge off the internet might be dirt cheap but half the purchases I make have dings, dents, off centering, etc. etc.

Oh well, its a gamble.

You can fix dents!

Let's see what I can do with this nightmare of a card. I think I can make this card pretty fucking sharp. The centering and the color is good. I see no cracked paint, just horrible condition overall. But I can get this card straighted out.

I do not own this.
But damn, this is a nice card.

Fucking nice!!!!

SPEEDY MCCREADY · April 27

As I gather knowledge, as time goes by in regards to this little hobby? I have come to realize that PSA and the rest of them are.
1. Full of shit
2. Have drastically changed their grading criteria over the years
3. Clueless

Because that Duke Snider is a 5?
Yeah, and I should have been starting center for The Dream Team next to Jordan, Bird, Magic, and Barkley.

You and I had the same weekend. I purchased the same Mantle and a Reggie Auto. Actually I went completely apeshit this weekend and purchased a shit ton of autos. I had no idea that the Fleer authentic auto cards are so affordable. At least in my eyes.
Fuck, I now own Magic's and Worthy's auto and I am waiting to hear back on Kareem. Haha
I bought 20 HOF autos. All legit Leaf, Panini, or Topps authentic. Dirt cheap.
I liked the Gale Sayers card so much? I purchased 2 of them.

Fuck I NOW OWN A JOE MONTANA AUTO!!!

This 60 year old man had fun this week.
I completely spent my social security/disability check! Haha

Hahahhah!. A few of us looked at that card and laughed too. A 5?!? It is CGC. They grade comics.

We also talk about old slabs vs new ones. That Vladdy is a friggin monster. You will neve, NEVER, get a 10 with the coating on, ever again from PSA.

I knew I

could work wonders on this card.

NICE job!!!

Wanted to bring this up. People say the economy is doing bad? Stick market is crazy and I have never seen so many people wanting to buy sports cards...

Not sure where all this money is coming from but there is a bunch to go around.
