Good idea with the sealed sets. Put all of the Scottie Pippen cards to the side and send to me. I'll pay shipping if you put a small box together.
Good strategy. I have tons of cards from the 80’s and 90’s. When my son and I opened them, I took all star cards and penny sleeved and top loaded them divided by star name. I sent some in to PSA during their special several months back and was a little disappointed by the grades. Most 8’s and 9’s with one 10, a Randy Johnson ‘89 fleer. I noticed SGC grades from back then are about the same as PSA. from listening to others I’m finding out PSA hates junk wax and grades them very hard in order to control the pop count. My understanding is that SGC grades the centering hard but is honest on the rest and isn’t worried about too many cards graded a 10. I’m going to send some into SGC to see if this holds true. Good luck in your endeavors!
You could rebuild the sets and sell them. Or donate to goodwill. Then again, tossing them will increase scarcity
That's alot of risk, hassle, waiting and wasted fees/shipping to make a few bucks. The only clear winner is PSA. You did all the work for them.
I am accounting for all the fees, and shipping. I have a price point that if the grading doesn't increase the value past a certain point, the i won't grade it. Thanks for watching.
Donate the "junk" to schools, churches, Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.
The problem with giving them to kids who collect today is most are wrapped up in "value" and tend to be kind of snobby snot nosed collectors. The younger kids will say (and have said to me) "Are there any players you're giving me that I've even heard of?" and truth be told, if you're looking at late 80's early 90's, many of the cards are older than the kids parents!
Or make "team lots" to sell in cheap bulk online (eBay) to salvage turning trash into cash.
We sold 800 Ct boxes for $10 each filled with all-stars, HOF'ers and Rookies along with commons at our garage/yard sale.
Good plan. Will be interesting to watch how it goes.
I love the junk wax era!
Interesting strategy. Looking forward to seeing what else you yield. BTW, you should look to donate the extra cards to a local children's hospital or something similar.
I like that idea! Thanks!
I recently opened two 89 Upper Deck sets. One Griffey was off center with a dinged corner. Other one was perfect except has blue ink that rubbed off from box on it. 😢
Excellent video!
I used to only buy graded cards but now im starting to buy some raw cards. Grading seems a little shady to me and it seems like the real winners are the grading companies. I can understand why people would grade or buy vintage or high dollar cards, but i don't understand why people would buy low end junk wax or modern base. Why do theose cards need to be authenticated? People can't tell the condition of the card so they need an inconsistent expert to tell them? Or is it to authenticate the card, because there are so many counterfeit 1990 Donruss Tom Glavine rookie cards? Its bizarre to me that people are spending more to grade a card than the card is worth raw. Instead of buying some of thesec10s, they could buy some nice cards with the money they save
I think it has a lot to do with personal collectors style. I was anti-gradating for the longest time. I didn't get it. I thought the same thing you did. Now that I am trying to make a living with it, I get that aspect of it. I buy very few graded cards for my collection. I personally like the SGC slab myself. Most of my graded collection in SGC. Some set builders only buy 10s to build a master set. So it all about what someone wants out of it. In Junk wax there are needles in the haystack as they say. In the strategy I am using, I am only looking at anything that will double my money (card + grading+ shipping+ sellers fees) So basically anything below $40ish buck doesn't make sense to me. But to some else, that maybe worth it. Thanks for watching.
@gatecitypaul5480 I agree, I like the look of the SGC slabs the best. Grading does make things easier to sell. I just picked picked up a psa 10 the other day
good luck!
Thanks!
Gate City? As in P-town?
No. The town I live is is called that has it was know as the "Gate" to the north and south part for the country.
