I’m just gonna comment this even though no one is gonna probably read it. To be clear RIPPING WAX IS NOT A GOOD INVESTMENT. I got extremely lucky, and don’t recommend it to anyone as a real way to make money (which I’ve made clear in pretty much any video I’ve ever made on the matter)
@@brockman562the product I’ve found luck in was 2022 chronicles blasters for 30 bucks I came out with around 150 in profit chronicles had no rookies and I got 4 photogenic purdys which are 25-30 each
As a collector who enjoys opening cards, I tend to lose money and take the enjoyment as payoff. An occasional endorphin hit is nice too, but the overall money spent VS money earned is typically in the red. However, the targeted collector side of my has consistently made money. It also helps that I started collecting (again anyway) at the right time in 2017. I have a lot of Judge, Ohtani, and Soto that anchor the value of my collection. I've also made good money by buying raw cards that look good on the screen and then taking advantage of grading specials from PSA or SGC. Vintage has been especially good for this. It goes beyond hobby and becomes work, but it's not bad work once you get good at it. With the hobby appearing to still be expanding, it is still worth venturing into.
I just watched one of your videos from two years ago where you said you didn't think this was a viable full time job, now it's your full time job! Nice
Thanks! If I remember correctly that was the low-end flipping video. I still think it'd be mighty hard to full time flip cards exclusively out of dollar boxes. But with content and some more expensive flips I've been lucky enough to make it work!
So happy to see you doing good. I watch other sellers flip the high-end cards. they edit their videos to portray success which is unrealistic. they never show the tough side of what they do. But I appreciate that you show both your ups and downs.
Hii I’m a huge fan of you! My name is mason and I’m 12 years old. Recently, I got 8 thousand dollars worth of cards stolen from me. Im constantly watching you grind in the hobby because that’s the only way I can cope. Keep up the good work ❤
I have never sent in cards for grading. A tip on how to/what to look when deciding what time send in would be incredible (assuming you don’t have one in your uploads lol).
As far as I'm concerned, the only way to make money on cards is to buy low, and sell higher. Chris Sewell has a proven strategy. The hardest part is being able to appraise/price/negotiate bulk lots.
It's taking longer to put out videos because of the production time/quality behind each one. But don't worry, got 5 videos already finished and ready to go. Lot more uploads coming
I went to a local card show and was rummaging through the $0.25 bin and found a Clyde Drexler Team USA card from Skybox. Gonna send that in for a PSA and hope for at least a 9.
I run a biz. I crack magic the gathering boxes then sell singles. I can do it profitablity. 100k+ sales a yr. I've tried to transition to sports cards. I've had no luck. I don't think it's profitable at all UNLESS you can buy single cards at 50%-60% of market value or sealed product at 70%. The other way is to buy sealed and hold it for 3+ years then sell. Rinse and repeat.

Did you buy the select box yourself or was it included with the PSA promo?
I've ripped so much wax/blasters this year. not one card over $10. I'm gonna start ripping way less now.

I had to double take, then facepalm LOL
How is that a10 with an upside down auto?
One of my favorite card RUclipsrs. Please post more bangers 🙏🏾🔥
5 more videos already finished, stay tuned
That Select box was absurd! Well done!
I used to do nothing but buy and rip wax. Learned from my mistakes and now I 90% of the time buy singles. Nice Video
Duuude! Yes, you're back. Hopefully you got some footage from the Soccer trade nights too.
Yep! Got some fun clips from Soco forsure

Dang that sucks, Hope the hobby is nice to you.
You’re a cool dude, one of the reasons I started my own card channel!
Great video dude! I was the previous owner of that Jordan refractor!
Favorite card RUclipsr is back! Glad to see it. Now just want to see how long before someone copies this video too lol…
awesome vid showing the different methods. buying raw and grading is a slower method but has some good returns overall
I really enjoy the vids brother. Love the budget videos especially
Thank you so much! I'll do more of those soon
I like to rip wax, but it's not the best way to make money, although it is super fun when you do!!
100% agree, I actually even recorded a 1 minute voiceover explaining how bad ripping wax is but it was too long to leave in
seems that was your lucky day! Congrats
Congrats on the big pull!! 🎉
I have never sent in cards for grading. A tip on how to/what to look when deciding what time send in would be incredible (assuming you don’t have one in your uploads lol).
What does the vault mean? I’m new to sports collecting and grading and trying to learn more. Love your videos man!
Been a subscriber since 2020!
Wow a real OG. That means the world for real so thank you
Production value so good here 👏
Really glad you noticed that, uploads taking longer now because I'm trying to make each video high quality
@@TRIKESportsCards I love learning from really skilled creators such as yourself. Keep up the great work! ✊
unreal editing!!
Thanks brother! Thought this one turned out great
That Jordan Love card is amazing! Congrats
You’re back! From a month hiatus let’s go!!
We are finally back, but back in a big way
Great video congrats on the grade my guy 🎉🎉🎉

Congrats on that Jordan Love! That's crazy!
you never fail to deliver.
Appreciate that a lot, hope this one was worth the wait
dude you remind me of the ironchefdads son lol not sure if you’ve ever seen any of their stuff on youtube. your voice even sounds like his.
Was I the only one that saw the auto upside down?

Great video!! Was that same day grading?? How much was it?
The short answer is “No”. The bloated bubble of 2020 has burst.💥
Crazy select box a Mahomes /5 and a love rpa /10 is insanely rare
Great vid. Learning a lot from you
Did you include the fact that that 2020 select box was scanned? Either way great stuff :)
I love all your videos but I wish you would upload more/stay consistent. Keep up the great work

I just noticed but why is the Jordan love auto upside down. That’s actually pretty cool
I LOVE THAT HAT
Thank you! One of my favorites

Is the Jordan love auto upside down?

Hey Trike, how long before T-Pott/Market Movers make the exact same video idea with the same thumbail? 😂
Haha I talked to T-Pott and we are all good now. But yes that thumbnail carbon copy was pretty crazy
