Selling Low End Raw Cards - Here's What $1000 of Junk Looks Like! | Sports Cards | 

I use to buy boxes of cards for myself years ago and now I started to sell the over flow or repeated cards on eBay. I have so many shoes boxes of cards that I won’t be runout of listing them anytime soon. It’s more of a labor of love because it gives me a change to go through them much more often which I enjoy.

I am a low end card buyer and very much appreciate sellers like this. Nice content as usual.

Great stuff Josh. It's a grind but there are buyers out there who do look for the low end tier cards, especially 90's basketball inserts. Keep up the hard work.

You never know the people buying the card's can be player collector's and go after every card of the player including rare parallels that are worth alot more and have more potential of bigger profits. I'm a player collector and spend $200-$400 a week on picking up rare card's when they become available and affordable to my liking.

You just given me a some good motivation, Thank you for posting this🙏🏾

you're 100% on point with everything in this video.

I had lots of Hill,Kidd,McDyess rookies from that time along with Stackhouse and rookie of the year Damon Stoudemire.That Lavine looked sharp!

This is some great advice. Especially the part about maybe grading later. Get a good buy on the single card. I agree with the "over inflated" price of grading cards. Good stuff Josh.

Thank you for talking about the grading process. Completely agree about grading inflating the value.

I’ve been trying to sell mostly low end just like this. I haven’t had very much luck so far /: I’m hoping a little more time and patience will do the trick. Nice video, I will be subscribing!

Awesome Josh! I'm doing a similar thing as you. I have probably 30k + cards that I collected as a kid in the 80s. Love your videos

great vid - enjoy seeing your process here. Thanks for sharing.

That's some of the best business suggestions I got to learn for free!! Making your sales appealing to all different types of income. Thanks a

Low end cards are fun, and it's always smart to look where others wont.

This whole video is speaking my language. Great video dude. Your other video I just watched you mentioned Daily Refinement. I also follow Chris and Tech's advice too. Love it. Keep up the good work. You defenitly got a new subscriber in me.

I’m with you on low end flips. I’ve transitioned to this and done very well. That said, how are being profitable with $1.25 sales? The .30 cent final value fee is a killer on low end sales. I figure on a $1.25 sale you’re at .78 cents after the FVF and selling fees. Then it’s .64 cents to ship leaving you with .14 cents. This isn’t factoring in supplies cost (envelopes, sleeves, tape, etc), your time or the original cost of the card. I don’t put anything up less than $3 as there is just zero margin. Do you have a store type that are mitigating some of these fees?

Love this! You are exactly doin what i do

I am an instant fan of your videos, good stuff my guy. I have spent the last three years re-upping my collection as my previous collection of 30 years was stolen out of my garage, I know. Huge Heartbreaker! the information you give is great, I am looking to start posting cards soon. Need to keep new ones coming in. Keep up the great work!

Came across your channel looking for tips to sell cards on eBay . Just want to say thanks for content and appreciate your help.

Really good content brother. I enjoyed listening to you and I got some good information out of this. Thank you

Nice vid, yesterday I paid 6.95 Australian for that ice hockey Nash. Seems a bit different prices here. Sometimes I might buy some slabs or low numbered cards, but usually I try get cool cheap cards, to mostly build a collection that appeals to me

Good stuff bro need to hear that 💯

I fell into this by accident, started with 250 free cards i found and turned into 700 bucks. Now i have 15k cards im slowly grinding through...the best part is im not a sports guy so im leaning a whole new language lol

Hey Sir, new subscriber! I enjoy the card hobby. I recently started collecting again after a major sell-off about 30 years ago. I have still bought a few packs now and then. When I think of the great collection I had, it disappoints me that I sold everything pretty much. Anyway couple months ago I found a few goats, I found one nice Kobe Bryant, a couple of Michael Jordan's, and I also found one LeBron James rookie card Topps number 221! Finding those cards got me back in the hobby all over again along with being retired haha. I kind of like simple low end cards I cannot afford to buy mosaics and national treasures. I buy too many packs or boxes. I tried to discipline myself to buy single cards but the cards I aquire seem to be a dime a dozen on eBay. So I have a tendency to try and make 3-4 $ on a card but of course this ain't working. I suppose that is a big question to make less and sell more cards or make more and sell less cards. What are your thoughts?

Great information Josh! Thank you

I agree w/ everything u are doing, & i might try ur strategy, that said i also think that ppl are underselling junk wax cards, i.g. Rookie mail in exchanges, 100-300 serial numbered cards regardless of the player or sport, etc… these certain cards are definetly underpriced unless it is a HOF rookie card or a major superstar from the era, trust me their is a lot of undervalued junk wax era cards that are never going to come out in sealed boxes or sets, example 1992-93 stadium club basketball, u have the regular set & then the members only, we all know the difference but ppl don’t understand the difference , 4 sum reason the members only variations are significantly less than the regular store bought cards, there were only 8,893 complete sets of members only cards, u can only get the members only cards as a complete set, as compared to the normal set which thousands of millions were produced, w/ the members only sets came all of the beam team cards that had a embossed stamp stating it was members only, remember there were only 8,893 sets produced, that means there is exactly 8,893 beam team members only cards as compared to the millions of non members only beam team cards, but somewhere in the translation info ppl got the correct info twisted & think the non members only beam teams are the more scarcer ones, that is in correct, when it comes to junk wax era it’s about knowing what u really have, ppl selling rarer junk wax on eBay for way less than it should be is being taken advantage of because they are in it for a quick buck & don’t understand what they truely have,& sell it cheap on ebay then buyers compare a $10 card when others are selling it for 2-3 dollars or best offer, chances are the condition is not what is pictured or the seller is not educated of their inventory, 20 down the road the quality rarer junk wax especially if it is graded decently will garner a high primium compared to selling it for$2 when in 20 yrs a psa 8 may go for 10,000, knowing what u have is 1 thing, understanding what u have is another

Enjoyed this video ty

Good stuff as always. Motivated me to start selling on eBay. Keep up the great content bro

Great video. Just subscribed. Are you listing every card individually on EBay or bundling?

The problem I’m starting to run into is I only have 250 free listings a month, and if I have more then 250 listings, then I end up losing some weeks because the listings refresh and cost 35 cents each to list

Since you are using Ebay standard envelopes (.53) to ship what percentage dont technically "arrive" at the destination? Tracking on these are so hit or miss, i find buyers take advantage of this and say they did not get the card even though they probably did...good content, thx

Loving these videos.

I liked this video and you got a new subscriber... I like how you keep it real... and this video wasn't about these thousand dollar cards...

Keep Mashin Forth and doing your thang Josh

Hello. A friend came to me asking to unload her entire collection of cards. Im talk literally thousands on thousands of cards. I would love some advice, or if you give a more extensive way to offload them for the best values. I hope to hear from you. Thank you.

If you are going to sell low end cards, by all means invest in Kronocard and high speed scanner. List 200 cards per hour of the low end variety. Not much meat on the bone for selling $1 cards on eBay unless you charge a flat shipping and combine auctions. Better to build your store to 10000 items if selling the grind cards. I ground my teeth at the beginning selling low end vintage, and now my average sale is $20 or higher vintage because I only specialize in superstars and Hall of Famers and no dips in the market like the NBA stuff.

Good video Josh, very informative, just subscribed. Had a question for you on this topic, I have many baseball cards from the 70's-90's and I get the fact that someone may be looking for a popular player and will buy that card, but what about the uncommon no-name type player in MLB. Are those cards really even worth attempting to sell or is it a waste of time?

That’s a lot of work for little money. If you avg 10 cards or $10/day that is $3,650/year. Yeah you are making money but the time you spent on listing, packing, getting supplies, mailing the card, tracking, ect.. Is a lot of time.

Is it worth it to sell a $1 card on ebay? After eBay fees and the top loader cost how much profit do you make? 25 cents?

thanks for doing this video. I'm a beginner with over 10,000 cards, mostly low end. Very helpful. Question: I see you referenced the Epson ES400II scanner. I assume this is for scanning cards. Have you ever had a problem with cards being scratched or corner damage?

Hello there, What is low end trading cards can you please tell me about the low end trading cards please. I thought a trading cards is good and you can get money from a trading cards... Thanks

Looks like you've got the spirit. Do you have any thoughts about TCGplayer opening up to sports cards this summer?

Nice man. I just started this. Do you run auction or BIN/OBO on these? And how do you ship them? PWE or bubble mailer?

I just started selling on ebay how can I sale a card on ebay and just pay a postal stamp fee so the buyer does not have to pay more in shipping than the card

Thank you, great channel! New sub here Would you say that the amount of work/labour is worth it for the flip? Which platforms do you upsell the cards? Thanks!

awesome video man

I like the idea. But is there an easier way to upload cards on ebay? Very time consuming

That Shaq card was rad Edit: the Shaq card(s)

Do you list your cards as an auction or are you selling them at BIN? Thanks for the great informative videos!

Great content. Can you put a link to your eBay store?

Josh, I started my store question. I have a lot of sets. Should I break down the sets and sell in lot's are by single card

Where do you go to buy your inventory

Hey Josh, digging the videos what you are doing here. But was just wondering if you get alot of return requests or unhappy buyers because the card has a small defect on it? I know its only a few dollar loss, but when you get up into the $10 or $20 raw cards and maybe you missed a small printing defect or something, it could get costly and make it not worth it. Keep up the great work, thumbs up!

Where is the pick list report from?

Great content bro. Wheres your store at?

For those cards in this video, did you ship them without a top loader considering they only paid $1.25 a piece?

Watching this makes my “card itch” more “itchy.” Ahahaha! 😂 Now I somehow want to arrange my low end cards. 😂 Great content as always Josh. 👍😇

I just went through my old baseball collection and the total value is sitting at around $2K. I want to sell the whole lot. How much do you think I should list it for?

Do you do bidding or set prices on eBay??

The card got to be a 5 to 10 dollar card to make sense

The one thing you haven't mentioned is the Federal taxes you have to pay on sales, also the ebay fees, and shipping cost. So you literally made a 40 cents of a 2.00 dollar sale. Good talk my friend.

That aintwhaticalljunk

The problem making $.75 profit and mailing time is not profitable. Selling $1. card for $5. now maybe worth time. If the collector are looking for cards $3 or $2 he should rethink his collecting those cards. Buying 10 cards for $3 = $30 he could buy auto cards of his team player for $5 each better buy and have 6 good auto cards. What i mean not top players but avg ones that was on the team. Its a fun hobby go to card shops and shows and you will find bargains their and see the wow cards also. Hey no matter for kids i give them those cards for adults maybe one and done now and then.

I've got thousands of awesome cards, basketball, baseball, and football.. so if anyone interested hit me up
