HUGE Walmart Baseball Card Announcement!

- Walmart is getting in the baseball card game! They are now creating a marketplace where you can buy and sell trading cards. In this video the team discuss if this Walmart marketplace will be a success or a failure, psa grading notes, sports card vending machines, and more!
We need a competitor to make ebay lower their seller fees.
@@peabra1n chris here - I’d LOVE to see that happen!
Yes! But I don’t think this helps that 🤬
Or @ least all the other little nuance fees they be charging sellers randomly , that's what pisces me off when they charge some BS fee w/o saying shyt about it, then u call ebay 2 ask WTF? right, then they basically tell u that u can either sell on their platform or practice safe sex & go fucc ourselves, NO ! FUCC THEM ! ! !
Sell on RUclips....I do.
Need a competitor to make eBay do a lot of shit different… they bought TCGPlayer or whatever it’s called and hiked there fees WAYYYY up within the first month… fk eBay.
@24:18 ~ You can tell Dr. Phil is coming from experience here ~ the passion, the fervor ~he is so well versed ~ perhaps he just attended another AA meeting before this video ~ he has obviously been around the casino block maybe a bankruptcy or two.......you don't get this kind of programming on Netflix folks... Keep up the good work Dr. we are behind you 150%. :)
lol... one day at a time.
@@simondaughtry4619 😂😂 you can really hear the experience in his voice.
I welcome any competition, bc the 13.25% seller fees on eBay are brutal. Your card basically has to go up 20-25% just to break even when you account for shipping and taxes as well
@@ryanra44 Chris here - yeah those fees hurt. A lot.
And FJB with these bs capital gains tax changes last coupes years…
Everyone should get a peace of the pie!! Also, PSA should not be the end all and be all of grading companies!!
@@213cards Chris here - maybe they shouldn’t be, but at this point they pretty much are.
Unless you’ve got a 5 figure vintage card.
@SpitballinCards SGC is much cleaner than PSA with better service, speed, slabs, and fees. They keep gaining. PSA only stays ahead because influencers by the hype and keep feeding into them.
PSA has their place but people need to stop sending them business until they improve their service.
@@JPfreedom the same company owns both now, so hopefully what’s good about each can be incorporated and used by both!
@@SpitballinCards hopefully so. Hard to say if that will help or they will wreck one or both companies
@@JPfreedom yep, could go either way.
At this point, I just stick with psa for resale value. Even if I think a card is a lifetime PC, you just never know.
you guys should have way more subscribers!!!!!thank you for your knowledge you guys. i cant stress it enough. worth its weight in gold!!!to all of you gentlemen thanks.
@@nathandavalos8891 thanks so much for the support and kind words!!
Agree with Ty about graders notes, the only time we will care about graders notes is those head scratcher cases. I'm sure someone will find a way to exploit it, but otherwise don't see how it could be a negative for the consumer. It's not like Graders Notes are going to invent annoying buyers. They already exist, this just may be a new avenue for them to be annoying.
@@mnplumberman Chris here - annoying people will always be annoying!
Would you consider paying the higher sub costs to get the notes??
All the breakers and resellers are ruining it for the average collector.

@@capodadon7650 good point!
Glad I caught that Mikal Bridges tidbit....I've been holding a black velocity rookie since release day lol
@@bi6bird thanks for watching!!
I think the move to Walmart for sports card outlet is a great thing. As long as it catering more to getting the cards (hobby) into the kids hands. Walmart is the biggest chain store in America, so using that to expand the hobby is great. As an "investor" as you guys are somewhat, I understand the worry of an avalanche of product.... However, the print run and so on, on all the cards is not changing, so the value of those said cards will not go down... if anything it could make the prices higher on those type of cards. Thanks guys, God Bless!
@@HarperBomb Chris here - we are already buried under an avalanche of product, so if Walmart can introduce more kids to this great hobby, that’s good news!
Another great video. Thanks guys. Just a few things
1. Wal-mart - no thanks, as much as I would like a more compeitition for eBay Wal-Mart represents everything that is wrong with corporate America. I might be showing my age, but I remember when Wal-mart's big advertising gimmick was to buy products made in the US. Boy, how that has changed.
2. PSA Grading notes - I like the idea, but comes as now surprise that PSA has contractrating stances on whether you can share the notes or not. I guess I don't know how PSA can stop the person that owns the card from sharing the notes
3. Grading vending machines - I don't mind this concept, but I would call it more like a blind bad than a re-pack. Re--packs to me are opened all at the same time and you have an idea what the big hits. Some transparency than a blind bag which usually just guanatees you an auto, mem, or graded card.
Until next time....
@@MG-FS_Sports_Cards Chris here - thanks for watching!
You’re right about psa. No way to stop people from sharing the notes. And yeah, I wish PSA would be more consistent with their public statements.
I’m with you - hard pass at WalMart.
What do you guys think of TAG and how they do their grading? I’ve graded a couple cards with them and I liked the service. I also like that it creates a standard with the cards graded as well, less nuance. I feel if PSA is going to go this route on notes then they’re taking a step into some sort of automation in the future. What would the notes have been for that 6 turned into a 10 and which grader was correct? Feels like there’s still a human aspect to something that doesn’t need it.
@@rschreck97 Removing the subjectivity from grading seems to be the right way to go, and maybe TAG is the future, but for value-reasons and resale purposes, there is no reason to go away from PSA 🤷🏻♂️ . The market definitely dictates things, so could that ever change? Surely. But for now, for better or worse, it’s tough to rationalize grading with someone other than PSA.
On the surface I would say graders notes are a good thing if they are in the right companies hands. From my almost 15 years of sending bulk orders to PSA their consistency is at an all time low. In my opinion they grew too fast and inexperienced graders are on the floor now to get more cards slabbed.
This could be a messy situation from the standpoint of what Jeff said with people snapping out serial numbered cards and getting different notes etc. Cool idea but to get the notes you have to use premium services so its probably another money grab by PSA
@@Eliteco3 Chris here - with notes only available on express orders and up, I’m not sure they’ll have much impact simply because most orders won’t have them.
Yeah we’ll see if the notes trickle down to the lower levels like PSA is saying is the goal. 🤷🏻♂️
100% for Walmart getting prices down
@@RockinRips Chris here - that would be a nice biproduct. Fingers crossed.
Jeff here: Would be great if that happens - not holding my breath though.
TAG is really good. Anyone can scan it and get everything about the card. I bet if I cracked 3 cards that they gave a 9 any of the others would give them a 10.
@@4TheGame2016 Chris here - I’ve seen their slabs and they are very nice. Great quality.
But it’s an uphill battle to chip away at PSA’s market share.
If it’s hindsight. What’s the difference? Notes or sub grades, after the fact of the grade, I think we are going too far. I agree with Scott, it’s too much for something most of us like due to the simplicity. That’s why I like PSA.
@@George_D_13 Chris here - very true. The idea of notes is interesting on grades we disagree with, but it’s not like we can argue our case, right??
@@SpitballinCards quite true. It’s gonna be what it’s gonna be lol. I’ve gotten pretty good at prograding my cards. I’ve sent hundreds of cards over the last 3 years and I’ve really only been surprised for the good or bad a handful of times.
It's a great idea for Walmart to get in on the card market. Walmart is a competitive company and I hope that they scorch the competition.
@@elizabethwiggins3849 Chris here - a lot of eyes will certainly be on them as they try.
Love you guys
@@TurdFerguson643 thanks for watching and commenting!
Graders notes may be of interest to the person that submitted the card for grading. Outside of that, I don’t think most people will care about the notes.
@@JohnNP3 Chris here - maybe if a buyer think there’s an issue they can fix??
Mostly I think you’re right.
I started making repacks back in late 2019 but with the goal of creating a product that was fun to open, had value, guaranteed a auto or relic, parallels and was just fun to open. Something you look back and be like, 'that was worth it, i had fun, i dont feel taken advantage of'. I started selling them for 9.99$ and flat 2.99$ shipping (for any qty) and to this day, they are still 9.99 with flat 2.99 shipping. The problem with these big companies is they're goal is to scam, squeeze, trick you in to as much money as possible, rather that creating a product that people want. I will continue to make my hand made packs for 9.99, i just hope these new entities don't ruin it for everyone.
Love how Zero grader notes is ONLY available at Express or above and you cant share the notes that you pay for!! 🤣
@@JPfreedom Chris here - yeah I won’t be seeing many of these notes on my subs!
I may be one of the first to get some grader notes back. I had submitted a couple of cards at the june special express tier that popped the day grader notes started. They are not very in depth. They said for PSA 9 "top right corner" and for the other one I sent they said "corner chipping" so it's really blunt and to the point, at least for corner flaws and seems like each grader might have different way of saying the same thing. Both were paper stock cards from 2024 topps series 2 so I do wonder what they say for chrome cards with surface issues (print lines, scratches etc)
Wow! Already! Thanks for the comment.
@@Falker_Sports_Cards that’s really interesting - thanks for sharing.
Big Question is - did you agree with the grader notes??
@@SpitballinCards Haha, yes I knew the corners were a bit iffy so I agree with the notes, but they were cards that I wanted to get slabbed anyway quickly to be first to sell first graded versions of some of the rookie SPs
Walmart doesn't really care if this Sports Card venture hits big. It basically attracts more people to view their website and raises the probability of them buying from them.
@@mestizo3113 Chris here - that’s gotta be good for business!
The new slabs are much easier to crack with tile nippers. It’s actually scary that the plastic stays in tact and does not crack at all.
@@blakeknower Chris here - thanks for sharing this!

As for grader notes, I've collected both comics and cards off and on for decades, but didn't get involved with grading until 2019, and that was with comics, and later cards. That said, I was used to grader notes with CGC graded comics, but when I started grading cards with PSA, I couldn't understand why there wasn't grader notes included.
@@planetsmoothcoaster Chris here - the only store I’ve been to that’s regularly stocked with cards is a Barnes and Noble!

The entrance of Wal-Mart and cards in casinos does remind me of the 80s boom where cards were advertised on TV and found everywhere. Is this another bubble or are sports cards now a more permanent feature of the consumer landscape?

25:46 not fanatics repack machine. It’s independent with psa approved
The cert is stolen of the slab on the machine
Ahhh interesting
Maybe PSA should only grade numbered cards and that Topps should start using a QR coded system for their rare cards(low numbered cards and autographed cards)that they put in hobby boxes, jumbo boxes, blasters, hanger boxes, etc. And so when someone pulls a rare card and decides to send it to get graded, PSA could take note of the information within the QR code and implement it into the PSA website, so that no one else can try to have it regraded if the card that happened to be previously graded received a lower grade.

SGC slabs are the best looking slabs on the market. I’m getting fair evaluations as well.
@@ghostnotes5667 Chris here - the beauty of grading is we all have different opinions.
Personally, I don’t like the sgc slabs. Too big. Too clunky. And I think they feel cheap. But that’s just me.
If you’re looking to grade a bunch of base for cheap or high end vintage and want to save some fees, I get the draw of SGC.
In some cases it makes sense.
I graded a Brady Rookie and Psa sent it back ungraded and I would loved what the reason was for that so I think it be good.

@@SpitballinCards nothing that was the problem so I sent it to SGC and they labeled it authentic.
@@FANO562 gotcha. That’s frustrating.
They sent me back a card last year and said “No grade - altered.” Took us close to an hour to find out they were right. There was coloring on the card.
Subgrades are also just a number so instead of 1 number getting questioned, you have 4 so i don't ever count sub grades more transparent. Serial numbered cards have always had a paper trial so that wouldnt be a bigger concern
@@richardbianco9674 Chris here - subgrades are interesting, some people love them and some people couldn’t care less.
Thanks for watching!
@SpitballinCards subgrades are still just numbers, just giving us 4 to argue over instead of the 1 lol. It also convolutes their grading scale as you guys mentioned.
Scott you don’t need the sub grades on BGS slabs how do you not know this?
@@guitarlearningtoplay Chris here - no you don’t “need” them, but bgs subgrades were always a big selling point for those slabs. Something they did that nobody else did.
I know they offer a faster turnaround with no subs, but I’ve seen collectors frown on those slabs.
@@SpitballinCards there is no frowning on no subgrades or else PSA would not be used by collectors 15x more than BGS lol. And it does jot affect the value at all. So if you don’t like it save more and time and get BGS without sub grades. The problem with using BGS is for none RPA or less than /10 numbered cards a BGS 9 is almost the Price of a raw card and you wasted $15 on grading. But the problem with PSA is there is no PSA 9.5 only 8.5,7.5 or 6.5. So a card that gets a PSA 9 might actually have a shot at a BGS 9.5 and be worth 4x the value.
Walmart is pretty good at selling things.
@@JohnNP3 😂😂😂 they do have something of a track record in sales.
I wouldn’t bet against them, for sure
Growing thw hobby.
@@edstoy-o-rama4004 that’s the Fanatics plan! Bigger hobby means MORE cards and more places to get them. Hopefully that will mean more collectors too.
Yup TAG Is the threat…they are going to be a standard someday. Don’t care the peep that laugh but I love using tag as my slabs.
When we start walking into LCSs and Walmart 😅 to be able to submit a card to a machine that reads your shit right there. A guy behind the counter that slaps the slab together with the laser seal technology blah blah. PSA doesn’t stand a chance if they don’t change…and this IS THEM ATTEMPTING TO ADAPT.
I wish that was right. But that to me is like saying Uncle Ned's Hardware is gonna put Walmart out of business. Just the way of the world and not just graded cards. The top 2 are now owned by 1 company and Beckett is on the side where no one seems to care like they did 5 to 10 years ago. I see PSA getting bigger, buying the only threat and that's a stretch. And the others in regression. Any new company regardless of money they have for marketing etc would have to do it for 20 plus years and maybe get bought by PSA/Collectors group or wait for all those with 90+ % of PSA slabs to die off.
Just have to roll with what the hobby delivers and adjust personally to continue to enjoy it.

Here’s the REAL problem that PSA has created for themselves with their graders notes: its given collectors the information that they rightly deserve and PSA now has to stand by their grades - and ultimately it’s just going to show what a SHAM grading really is. PSA has how many graders now? What percentage of them are even HALF as qualified to be graders as any of you guys or me, the Blanco Acuna Uber-Believer?? I would bet you any amount of money - this will NOT end well for PSA.

@@SpitballinCards sure I get that, but what happens when a non-serialized card gets cracked, re-subbed and gets a vastly different grade than it previously had?? Not to mention the grading notes from the first submission to the second (or third or fourth, ffs) and the variance in them. It’ll just expose how subjective the whole grading process is when you have hundreds or thousands of “graders”
I’m sure they’re hoping that their acquisition of Genamint (sp?) a few years back will be able to pick up on re-subbed cards, but I doubt the technology is anywhere close to 100% accuracy in detecting a previously scanned card, and that’s assuming they use Genamint on EVERY submission, which I doubt they do.

Grading has ruined the hobby. I still like non graded vintage myself
@@mattpalmer588 Chris here - do you trust it’s real? Un-altered? Or does it not matter to you?
@SpitballinCards I have always loved the "vintage" eye appeal to the older cards anyway. I don't care if it is graded a PSA 8 either. How do grading companies know that a Mickey Mantle 1952 Topps that they graded an 8 is truly authentic. Truth is we are going by another's word anyway. I started collecting in the 80s before grading even came along. If you know the card is real then you as the collector do whatever you can to protect the condition of the card. It doesn't need a graded slab to enhance it's value. It's already valuable
@@mattpalmer588 I get that. I do.
There’s just so much shenanigans out there. I’d feel better with a nice vintage card in a slab so I know it hasn’t been altered or recolored. Especially if I ever decide I have to sell.
I know it’s just the PSA grader’s opinion, but they should have more experience than we regular collectors do. SHOULD.
PSA is laying ground work for when people start realizing that A.I. grading will start taking over the market. People will start losing fate in PSA because of the “human error” effect whereas A.I. will sooner than later not have that error effect once A.I. learns all it needs to grade a card without doubt.
