Appreciate the explanation on blemishes ie print lines. Better than the generic corner, edge, etc others do. Really shows what to expect with the common blemishes that litter sports cards. Thanks
there is 178 psa 10 on the teal explosion parallel with a rate of 70%. it is one of the highest pop variations of the #277 hoops card. makes sense why it is going down.
Yup. Super solid points on pop count and gem rate. Definitely makes sense for it to come down, just kind of interesting how in this case, you can literally see the exact sale where it flipped. :)
In this case, everything in the order is from eBay. That's where I get most of my cards nowadays, though I do some ripping for fun for sure. I do use COMC as well, but mostly for PC cards-I've been picking up some nice Ginobili, Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and David Robinson's from there lately.
Solid question! I either post them on eBay raw, and note any significant flaws, or, more and more, I'm sending them to COMC. A lot of the cards I don't grade are just super tiny blemishes...a dot or indent here or there. I'm pretty picky, typically. COMC so far has been really good about marking any with significant issues as a lower quality as they list them.
@@everycardastory definitely thinking about sending to COMC. Theres just too much effort in putting it back on eBay and shipping it again. Rather have all my graded cards on eBay.
Oh you're 100% correct. It's a bit of the off-season and a bit of supply/demand for sure. I'm kind of taking a mixed approach right now where I don't mind being a bit more open to offers on some of his base and other things with higher pop counts, while being a lot less aggressive selling some of the parallels that are a bit harder to get your hands on.
@@joelkaplan2157 For sure. Makes sense...those guys are probably your safest bet at least for moving cards quickly. Some great cards of the "other guys" tend to sit around for quite a while. Grading other less popular stars though is really starting to grow on me (I think you'll see some mixed in a few upcoming submissions) because the low-price point means you can nab some really cool cards of them. You just have to be ok with maybe sitting on them a little bit longer.
That's whuppit.com/. Built that for myself because I outgrew my spreadsheets. :) There's a discount code in the video description if you want to kick the tires (also comes with a free 30-day trial anyway)
