In this series, I'm doing an experiment to see if we can make money flipping Pokemon cards. In this first video, I'll be walking you through my initial rationale and strategy for Pokemon card flipping, and share "the play" that I will be making. Later, we'll see if we ended up making a profit.

Classic TCG player, they have cheap prices to match the card quality. I've done this method successfully using ebay purchases of Charizard promos, because you can clearly see what quality you're getting when you have multiple pictures to look at before-hand.

@LegendofLuke 2 года назад

Yeah I’m definitely going this route next time 👍🏽

@GlassEater420 2 года назад

@@LegendofLuke yes I'm sorry you got unlucky on your ebay purchase, but like you said at least you get to return it. PSA hands out 10's like candy, but their prices have been wild since 2020. Goodluck!

@LegendofLuke 2 года назад

@@GlassEater420 yeah as soon as they start retuning cards faster, I’ll go with PSA for flipping.

@slothpokecrafts5207 2 года назад

When I think flipping Pokemon cards, I think more of going through garage sales and small card shops' bulk or cheap binders. Bought a LOT of Astral Radiance Trainer Gallery cards out of a $1 binder at a Top Cut store, and some base set item cards and 8 scoop up nets out of a 25 cent bulk box at a local video game store.

@slothpokecrafts5207 2 года назад

I've also seen people find great stuff at garage sales, especially Diamond/Pearl era. I've found Stormfront and championship promo cards once

@MMM1MM 2 года назад

Would be awesome to watch some garage sale videos on this channel, but I imagine finding pokemon cards is not the easiest task

@therossauger 2 года назад

I've got a competitive deck and a collection, but I don't like having bulk around. That said, I love it that there's flippers. I'll buy a couple packs per set for fun but then just buy the one's I want. Not the most romantic process, but sometimes pull rates are unreal.

@dilley_esq 2 года назад

great logic. Appreciate this video. It is timely and something i'm considering with some of my extras that i'm not attached to, in order to fund more purchases.

@fabiopolar 2 года назад

Why in this world are people dumb enough to pay 200$ for a 5$ card within a cheap PSA china case with a grading that is not even close to relatable...

@LegendofLuke 2 года назад

That number probably is a bit irrational, however I do understand why people pay a premium for condition-rarity.

@mitchellalexander1581 6 месяцев назад

You suggested that buying sonething for more than you can sell it for is not a play. Yea. So why settle for less by not using PSA?

@jordanphelan1150 2 года назад

When I did finish it I realized that alot of people get too touchy when you try to "flip" cards

@educationcentral_ Год назад

I get Mercari full art trainers and full art cards for 1-2 dollars grade them for 20 dollars each and sell for 7-10s for 39.99 and 5$ shipping that's 12 dollar cost for a 28$ profit ebay fee is around 8, and taxes is around 6. So it's 14 dollars per card and 3-6 months of time. I recommend starting with 500$ focus on Pikachu Rayquaza Charizard and mew/evie evolutions . Or avoid all of that and buy already graded slabs and relist them for thinner margins but expand to selling large quantities. Let someone else do all the heavy lifting

@mikeblaze365 Год назад

I found what I was looking for just by looking through the channel this is awesome

@LegendofLuke Год назад

Awesome! Glad to hear!

@crab229 Год назад

centering isn’t everything. i’m sure a few of those eevees you said were off center can still get a 10 as long as they have no whitening

@crazybillshobbiesandstuffd7652 2 года назад

I do sell some stuff but it is mostly to thin out my collection or they are extras. Then I buy my Pokémon cards with that lol. Only been collecting since just before Brilliant Stars came out.

@mariaray5727 2 года назад

Psa is the way to go to make money. A lot of people would prefer psa or Beckett over cgc! Not a lot of people like cgc slabbed cards. But that’s your choice. I wouldn’t bug a cgc slab. I’d rather slab my own up

@mattydoherty3784 2 года назад

@RawFish_photo 2 года назад

What I do in my country is that I sell bulk to parents through Facebook and make a good amount of cash to buy singles I want for my collection

@bitesizedbuzzz 10 месяцев назад

Where do you get the bulk cards from. I want to do this. I am from California USA

@jordanphelan1150 2 года назад

I honestly think if your trying to flip the cards go with psa

@jordanphelan1150 2 года назад

Nvm I didn't listen to the whole video lol sorry but I'm going to be getting together my 10 best/favorite cards meaning out of my favorites pick the best ones but I'm going to go with psa because they're going straight in my collection unless I do more of 1 specific card! God bless brother!🙏

@TraphouseLA_ 2 года назад

Just buy cgc 10 for under market, cut it out the slab then get it graded by psa ? Wouldn't a psa 10 go for more than a cgc 10 ? Just a thought 🤷🏿‍♂️

@LegendofLuke 2 года назад

True. That would be another strategy. I just don’t have the funds to make that play right now.

@unlimitedpubes 2 года назад

It also takes over a year for psa right now and it's like 150 bucks per so if you don't get the ten, you could be leaking money plus inflation since it's tied up for more than a year. Unpredictable market too. I've heard some people waiting for two years now

I personally find nothing wrong with a COLLECTOR trying to make some money to add to their collection or just profit on something they have no interest in. I think the problem is with the scalpers and people who have no interest in the hobby whatsoever and are only after a dollar amount.

@1212owner 2 года назад

I think your definition of "Flipping" is basically grading rare cards and then selling which I feel is fair because you are providing a service of grading cards for people who may not want to go through the process. If someone is buying a slab just expect a slight mark up, it takes time and money to get those cards graded. Cool Video Luke I support you!

@reptilefrenzyllc3721 2 месяца назад

Horrible on the back for centering because whoever ran the printing press that day didnt back it up square.

@Cards88x 24 дня назад

If you're grading with PSA centering doesn't matter as much as you think it does. You can go to 60/40, and I measured that card @7:04 and it's really close, I think it's actually 61/39 or 62/38 though. It'd still having a centering grade of a 9, and they may let it slide because it's so close. If the rest of your subgrades are perfect, it's probably still a 10. This doesn't work with Beckett though. They have no front centering leniency. Beckett requires 50/50 on the front of the card, and 60/40 on the back! I'm pretty sure you can go all the way to 70/30 on the back of a PSA card! Maybe just 65/35, I can't remember tbh. But I do know PSA allows 60/40 on the front.

@LegendofLuke Год назад

Thanks. I mean, if I turn it off, it might be even harder to watch - like the Blair Witch Project…

@0:13 ok... why not? profit is profit. nothing illegal about that. if you say it's "wrong," you're just imposing your subjective, fluctuating, emotionally based standard of morality on me.

@Tenekai 2 года назад

so righteous... i like you so much. your judgmental attitude about that is so appealing to my self-righteous side.

@r.jalderete7843 2 года назад

I've debated sending some cards in to grade myself! Although I wanted to ask the community...what is the general consensus about AGS? I think they have a cool concept, just not widely known yet..
