Yo, 17:33 you comped the Pikachu Vmax Character Rare at a PSA 10 price and it was a PSA 9 graded card. Always double check, especially when working outside your personal card comfort zone. PSA 9 is selling $25-$30 so took a wash on that but in the grand scheme not like you lost a ton.
Thank you for your videos. Not only are they inspiring but in able to live through your experiences. Having 3 kids in this economical climate is one thing. But having one with cancer is even tougher, i don't get to toss money around. Im hoping on the other side of it we both can start growing our collection. I'll be putting your card store on my bucket list. Thank you and God bless your endeavors.
@@ezurg01 ....good luck with that ....their overhead has got to be enormous. What is a few bucks a card going to get you ... Bankrupt fast. If you buy a card $50.under it's going rate.....you have to factor in your time at the show the expense to get there.....the hotels etc .....now you bring it in house. There is overhead in all functions of the business ..... employees, time, inventory control etc .... Now take all that into consideration and you make him w much on each card they bought for $50k at zero margin? It Isn't how much you spend it is the main gin in which you can sell......yes even at volume turnover. Smh....... You can't buy a card for $60 under retail and expect to make any profit I don't care if you SPENT $500,000 on Select Football......oh yeah he already made that blunder. Wonder if he bought any Will Griers real cheap?
They are laying 75-80% value They will sell close to 100% value and move volume This won’t be some small cramped store owned by some 70 year old smoker They will be selling thousands of cards a month Pure volume between store and online
@@gradedcardscollector3511bwahahahhahahahhaha.....Lawd Spare Us .....smh ... Wow! Genius. Their overhead will be extremely high as well ..... They will need more than thousands of cards at low margins.
Everyone loved buying cards at peak covid prices and now are running scared after an 80-90% drop. I'm cleaning up big time won almost every auction I was involved in tonight. I love deals and bear markets don't last forever. I'm already having a hard time finding some old rare inserts from the late 90s that were readily available even a year ago. I'm predicting market bottom into Christmas then a nice gradual climb for low print run stuff. I'm buying kobe and fleer retro marvel let's go!
😂"bare markets dont last forever".....no, the last one just lasted about 2 decades. In over 30 years of collecting I've seen 2 booms, the late 90s and covid with 2 down decades in between. 20 great years to be a collector, not so much for people looking at the hobby simply as a way to make money.
@johnwayne9828 you are correct John. It's a hobby first and if you don't enjoy collecting it's not going to work out well for you. I am blown away at some of the current deals for my pc. I am going to be hoarding as much of the rare stuff as I can for the next few years. Maybe it never increases in value. But it sure makes a long cold Canadian winter go by faster lol
@@savethehobby that's the best mindset to have in the hobby. Ive been getting some nice pc stuff low lately as well. Folks just looking to build pcs are definitely gonna enjoy the hobby for the foreseeable future because I dont think cards will ever reach covid numbers again. That said, I have noticed alot of stuff from the 90s has jumped in price while modern tanks. Happy hunting.
😂hes desperate to convince people it's just a hiccup in the market rather than the bubble finally busting. I've collected 30+ years and seen 2 booms in the late 90s and covid with 2 down decades in between. This isnt a hiccup, this is the bubble bursting. Geoff is gonna lose his ass. But he doesn't care, it's his wife's money.
@@johnwayne9828A Correction......a true "collector" would know that ....a real investor in actual things to invest in would have seen this a mile away. This ConMan Grifter is just selling snake oil. When the store collapsed ....he gets his write off and offsets a half million of Select Football sitting somewhere.
Buying at close to retail doesn’t seem to make sense unless you’re planning to lose money auctioning the cards you just spent 50k on Good luck hope its a success if you make back what you spent it will be a win win to promote the shop.
@SportsCardInvestor ok so your going to be using Whatnot as your breaking platform? That makes more sense but are you going to start building inventory as well?
It’s crazy seeing slabs go for $15-25, it cost that grade it and that’s not considering what you have into the card it self. We are definitely in the junk slab era
We are not lol. It's just idiots who are sending in low end stuff will have junk slabs. Only send in card where you will roughly break even on a psa 9 and you will be fine
This is awesome, you should come out to Charleston South Carolina for the card show on December 16th from 10am-4pm at the Citadel mall it’s put together by Collectors Corner which is one of my LCS’ and it’s a good time and local to us I think you’d enjoy man, obviously a lot for travel but just putting the word out there
Geoff you and Rob Veres keep saving the entire Rookie Cards Industry! Evn if you just pay 30% To70% the money will keep flowing and even if the Junk Era is here it do not matter becuase people will always love to collect and trade and sell!
@@Ewayne2010 yeah I know and understand that, but as an average collector with no YT channel, doesn't make any sense for me, you, and billy bob to over pay for the unslabbed and least desirable cards.
@@PerfectPrinceX1 you mad kid? Those kids didn’t get their cards or if they did the parent’s give them money for it. The kids don’t have the money. But nice fail
The desperation of the salesman in this video (for wHaT nOt of course) reeks here. I appreciate that this particular salesman picked my card collecting hobby to make sales based content for. But good lord are these content dumps so full of infomercial energy.
@@ThiKuvintage is safer and can still flip. Those low pop high end newer cards have more of a chance to fall off a cliff still. Really low pop high end cards are very risky
He's not buy at wholesale prices. Zero profit in these PC type retail deals. Just ridiculous. This store is failing already if this is how he blows $50k unbelievable .....😂
I have a lot of cards I’m looking to move if you guys would be interested in. I live in canton, about 20 minutes north of where you guys are opening. Anyone I could meet up with?
Awesome video on this channel!! We NEED THIS POSITIVE CONTENT !!! Thanks Jeff for the refreshing video after watching the most negative video on this show about T Potts mental brake down on rookies and grading cards. We want T Pott back when he's done with his bad attitude lol :D
Um no, it was for the exact reasons we are seeing now minus grading. Tons of investors flooded the market in the mid 1980’s when they saw the price of vintage cards went up almost overnight. These investors though that if they bought everything on the market by the case and speculated on every rookie card that in 30 years they would be able to retire sitting on a gold mine. This in turn, caused the manufacturers to crank up the presses and release multiple sets per year and new manufacturers each week started popping up. Millions of each card were printed, shows were thriving, and a card store seem to pop up on every corner. People started realizing by 1990 that the cards were overproduced and boxes that were $30 SRP were quickly plummeting to $10 a box within weeks of release. This caused all of the “investors” to leave the hobby and the crash. The manufacturers did everything to bring them back with gimmicks like insert cards and parallels but it was too late. By 1995 most everyone was gone and stores were vacant in droves. The true collectors were left. History repeating itself over and over. When those investors bought in they were paying $100 a case, not $500 a box. It’s even worse with grading as people are spending $25 and up a card to get graded and selling it for $10-15. Those of us that have been in this hobby for decades have seen this trend and avoid all of the ultra modern junk to stay away from getting burned. In 5 years so many of these rookies and prospects that people spent tons of money on will be out of the league and just another footnote in the hobby.
Rookie Mistake: NEVER MAKE DEAL SEAT DOWN!!! NEVER leave your eyes below the salesperson's line. You automatically put yourself in an inferior position!!!!
Lol they bought from a hundred people and showed what they wanted to show They have the bank roll and the actual sale data they don’t need to use any other tactics
@@paulmouradjian6045 it’s called advertising. Dude’s a multimillionaire - he knows a bit about it. WhatNot pays out too for their picks to use the platform. It’s gonna be fine.

How are spending money for your card shop if you’re flipping it on the scam app
Man, I’m worried how much these cards are going to be in store at Cards HQ considering what they are paying at these shows.
You gotta be fair thou there playing a different game there trying to
