Quick question if someone can answer using the 1990 Score Frank Thomas from this video, is it even worth sending a card like that to SGC to get graded? A PSA 10 in that card is selling for $60 - $100 and SGC cards don't get anywhere near the same price as a PSA so to me it seems like its throwing money away getting a card like that Frank Thomas graded by SGC. That Thomas card as an SGC 9 can't go for more than $20 tops (If PSA 10s are getting $60) It seems to me you wouldn't even be able to recoup the money you spend getting it graded with SGC.... Am I missing something?
You are missing the big picture. Yes, that frank score will be break even but the lebron fleer 10s I paid 150 each for are close to 1 thousand in value now. That pays for the rest of the order. Of course it is not all about the money And profit
@@Eliteco3 thanks for the response. I wasn't questioning your business as you obviously know what you are doing and are successful. I was just asking because I've recently got back into collecting (as it seems the whole world has) and I have tons of cards from the late 1970s thru the early 1990s when I stopped collecting (Approx 20,000 cards) Im thinking about starting to send in a lot of those 1980s - 90s Stars cards to be graded to move some in order to start buying a lot of the newer stuff. I've went through most of them and have put aside the cards that are worthy to be graded so I'm just trying to gather info in these videos. I enjoy your videos and like to hear your take on things as you go through your cards. Keep making the videos and I wish you continued success!
@@kevm243 thanks Kevin. Another thing I wanted to point out is pop control. Those Lebron fleer's and the Kobe topps RC I had as strong grades and legitimate shots at Gem Mint in my pre grades. Those could have easily been pop control 9's from PSA. Been grinding at these bulk orders for 10 years so you pick up little nuggets like this along the way
I've been grading with SGC since the 90's when it first started in New Jersey and even all this time I'm really surprise that their cards are still not respected as PSA yet. They have consistent grades unlike BGS or PSA
As usual ... Great video Nolan. I got really excited when I got the notification of the new vid. Got home cracked a couple of beers and watched the reveal. Love these videos and you dropping knowledge on us. Thanks so much and keep them coming.
Sgc seems to be alot tougher than psa..just from what im seeing. Alot of those 9s, probably could have been psa 10s. Thanks for the reveal!! Enjoyed it
I love watching these reveals Nolan. TY as always for sharing them. I think SGC graded cards are a great value now. While they are certainly worth less than a PSA graded equivalent at this time, it may now still be that way in the future. SGC grading seems to be overall a bit stricter than PSA & I think the slabs are much better looking. If your buying the card and not the label SGC is priced on the cheap for the moment.
Looks like they graded pretty tough on some of your stuff but without having the card in front of you it's hard to tell for sure. Some really cool unique stuff, thanks for the video Nolan. Always a learning experience.
Do you think that eventually sgc slabbed cards will come closer to equaling the value of psa slabbed cards? It seems to me that they are pretty accurate with their grades and like you said don't focus on pops. I guess time will tell.
Grading was a great mark idea, it made most junk wax collections worth less, so people had to re buy fresh to pull gem mint again, because the plastic binders are corner killers and edges, so back then that’s all we had it was hard , I’d say out of 150 pages? in my binder, I’d be lucky to have some 9.5-9’s a lot of 8 and below, also we didn’t collect like that, or I didn’t as long as they were clean no creases or worn corners , edge, centering , definitely surface wasn’t like it matters now, as I the only one?? Keep up the great work love the submissions wish I could send this many in at once , no patience! RB
I really dislike BGS as well and my PC is a mix of PSA and SGC. But for pure resale value, you cannot deny that BGS gold and black label 10's carry more of a premium than PSA and SGC. I mean I saw a Jordan that goes for $200 in PSA10 that went for over $15K in a BGS black label. It's CRAZY.
Awesome submission Nolan! Yeah SGC is pretty backed up - they're running about 4 months delay on their orders, equalling that of PSA. I think I will probably go with PSA from now on, unless it's vintage which I might go with SGC from time to time!
Waiting on my SGC 15 day order from July. Enjoyed the Tom Brady cards you received. How do you determine which cards you send to SGC or PSA? Do you like sending more pre modern to SGC?
I love the SGC Tux slabs but for me, it seems that fingerprints are the kiss of death. It's the only thing about them that I don't like. Once you get fingerprints (before you get your Superior Fits on them) or if a seller sends one with them, they're really hard to get completely clean again. Does anyone else have this issue? It leaves like a slight haze. Any ideas on what to use to clean them up? It also looks like a lot of these slabs came pretty scratched up, what's the deal with that??
Finally (just) picked up a Lebron star UD card (BGS 9.5) at a good price. Agree with you, it's the most underrated of his base rcs. Agree with the Vlad assessment. It might be more of a problem in hoops (Zion), but I don't see many overweight athletes having long productive careers, even in less plyo sport like baseball. It's simple physics.
Not sure if I'm the only one here but would like to see a video from you showing cards that you cracked open and submitted them to PSA/SGC again...just to prove you won't get the same results every time you submit the same card...
Saw you swapped alot of you listings on eBay to auction. Any thoughts on using auction vs. using buy it now? I always struggle with that paradigm - auction usually gets you cash now but less value (on average) but buy it now gets you what you feel the true value is however you probably will wait for that specific buyer.

Card collecting isn’t all about flipping for profit. That’s what you’re missing.
@@MrDoughboyStyle I understand that but he runs a store on Ebay so he is selling most of this stuff
You are missing the big picture. Yes, that frank score will be break even but the lebron fleer 10s I paid 150 each for are close to 1 thousand in value now. That pays for the rest of the order. Of course it is not all about the money And profit

Really cool order as always but you had a Stadium Club Ray Lewis RC 9 in this one that was soooo sweet!
Wow love some of those cards! The sanders, Williams are to die for
Those 80’s cards are so nostalgic. Best cards ever.
Nice 86 Topps traded bonds cards. All of those bonds cards are nice.
Great cards!

Sweet cards!!
Enjoyed the reveal Nolan
As usual ... Great video Nolan. I got really excited when I got the notification of the new vid. Got home cracked a couple of beers and watched the reveal. Love these videos and you dropping knowledge on us. Thanks so much and keep them coming.
You need to throw a few 1988 Chris Sabo rookies in there lol
Yes !! Thanks for taking the time to record and post Eliteco3 . Awesome seeing the vintage stuff
What do you think of PSA's pricing move???? I think the Market Cap of BGS and SGC went way up overnight.
Always love seeing the rarer cards people send in such as the Ray Lewis!
Another awesome video Nolan! Thanks.
Looks like a solid SGC return, congrats!
Sgc seems to be alot tougher than psa..just from what im seeing. Alot of those 9s, probably could have been psa 10s. Thanks for the reveal!! Enjoyed it
Sportscard fan805 all in all they are about the same

Nice to see an order going out from SGC. Some very nice cards in there.
Yes I have 2 orders over 90 buisness days on what was originally a 20 buisness day so i think I'm about done with them haha.

Great stuff as always. 😎😎 “pocket 10’s”. Thanks Nolan.
Brutal. I so appreciate you sharing this video. It’s nice to know SGC is just ridiculously hard. Thanks.
it wasn't that bad rhino
Not worthy of your greatness. I think sgc is really a. Tough grader.
That Fleer Pro Vision Jordan 10! 🔥🔥 so hard to find those centered. 👌🏻
SGC raised prices by 50%.... 🤕 I took off my next 30 card order. Gotta wait for lower prices.
Love all the junk wax in this one. Solid results and congrats on the lebrons!
Very nice you got me buying boxes of 1990 score and 1989 donruss.

Once again a nice video and selection of cards.
Great stuff. I guess I still have another 6 weeks before I get my SGC order back!
"Pennington, Peter Warrick, Ron Dayne.."..
We are old Nolan.😂😂
Ah, the good old days.
I really dislike BGS as well and my PC is a mix of PSA and SGC.
But for pure resale value, you cannot deny that BGS gold and black label 10's carry more of a premium than PSA and SGC. I mean I saw a Jordan that goes for $200 in PSA10 that went for over $15K in a BGS black label. It's CRAZY.
When your 5 card BGS order gets back quicker than your 10 card SGC order. Loved the instagram story a few days ago @Sportscardinvestor
Awesome submission Nolan! Yeah SGC is pretty backed up - they're running about 4 months delay on their orders, equalling that of PSA. I think I will probably go with PSA from now on, unless it's vintage which I might go with SGC from time to time!
Our group subs are running 2.5 months. Look up Boca Raton SGC Card Grading Submissions on FB. It’s as low as $8 per card and I sub in person.
Nice submission Nolan!
Waiting on my SGC 15 day order from July. Enjoyed the Tom Brady cards you received. How do you determine which cards you send to SGC or PSA? Do you like sending more pre modern to SGC?
Psa is hard on those 87 Topps Tiffany as well
What modern cards do you think grade pretty well ?
"9 party"...
Another great vid Nolan..
Thanks for sharing buddy

Mandatory Vicks
Dude loves Vick and Ricky Williams more than their own mothers.
Leaf lebron 10 for sale?
How much on average are these cards graded at,
Nolan what is the value of the Tom Brady Leaf/ Thats a beauty.
I love the SGC Tux slabs but for me, it seems that fingerprints are the kiss of death. It's the only thing about them that I don't like. Once you get fingerprints (before you get your Superior Fits on them) or if a seller sends one with them, they're really hard to get completely clean again. Does anyone else have this issue? It leaves like a slight haze. Any ideas on what to use to clean them up?
It also looks like a lot of these slabs came pretty scratched up, what's the deal with that??
I use Polywatch, it's a plastic polish.Works for me.
My SGC order has been in post grading process for 3 weeks. Any idea of how long it sits in that process before shipping?
Nevermind...just cleared and shipped. Took 12 business days
Finally (just) picked up a Lebron star UD card (BGS 9.5) at a good price. Agree with you, it's the most underrated of his base rcs. Agree with the Vlad assessment. It might be more of a problem in hoops (Zion), but I don't see many overweight athletes having long productive careers, even in less plyo sport like baseball. It's simple physics.
Made my day seeing this notification. Was this a blind reveal? I'm just starting the video, maybe I missed if you said it or not.
What's your take on psa ? Why do you focus just on sgc
Not sure if I'm the only one here but would like to see a video from you showing cards that you cracked open and submitted them to PSA/SGC again...just to prove you won't get the same results every time you submit the same card...

TEDISKABONG market got so slow nothing was moving so I did some auctions to spice things up
Whats the deadlift looking like these days?
Good
Isn’t the pro set Barry a 2nd year card?
Nope. 1989, first year of pro set
Wow! They seemed a little stingy on the 10s for this one.
All Time Greats Blog ya tougher grader
i have found SGC difficult 2 sell and grades somewhat questionable. The tuxedo is nice but prefer PSA by a mile. Just my 0.02 but thanx Nolan
The first pro vision Jordan in the vid is slightly OC R to L
You gotta let that intro play out to the end of the measure.. my ear wants to hear that resolving guitar note bro
Empty stadium on the Gronk 🤣
Nice soto Robles beltre and arenado do you have an email contact I have a couple cards you might be interested in
