This was my second eBay PSA submission and I got another 10. It’s not worth what it was before but I was more curious than anything sending to PSA this way. It’s pretty cool that we can do this now, just have to be more careful because you can only buy $300+ cards and send to PSA for about $70+ depending on what you buy the card at.

How is Beckett grading going so far?

Hey everyone, I'm a beginner TCG flipper selling on eBay, based in Australia. One thing that makes it tougher here is that PSA grading takes a few months to come back, so grading isn't a quick way to turn cards over. I mainly try to flip One Piece (so far unsuccessfully) and I've recently started getting into Riftbound as well. My only profitable flip so far was a Boa Hancock card from the tin. I found it at a card show for $140 AUD and sold it for $220 AUD. Other than that, I've mostly just been losing money. The main problem is that card shows seem to overprice most of their stock, so it's hard to find real deals. Card shops price their cards really well too, so there's not much margin there either. Right now I'm just buying whatever I think will move, like Boa, Luffy and Zoro. I'm starting with a $1000 budget, and I'd love to know what your strategy is for finding deals: - Are you sourcing mostly from eBay, card shows, Facebook Marketplace, or somewhere else? - Do you buy sealed product and flip singles, or buy singles directly? - Any tips for someone in Australia dealing with the long grading times? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

I found this card on eBay months ago and sent it through AI to see what I might get psa wise. I never had the card personally, only the eBay listing. It was a 70%+ chance of getting a 10 from ChatGPT perspective so I rolled the dice to see what would happen. I got a 10! I’ve never graded this way before and it is a newer feature on eBay but it went well the first time. So I decided to go again using the same method. I prefer to see the cards up close and be able to clean them myself, but this worked. I can’t say it will work every time but it is a method. Sending this card from eBay to psa worked once. I’ll keep testing it and see what happens then post my results here.

I had forgotten about this submission. I got a call from GameStop, “we have your cards ready for pickup.” “Sweet! Wait what cards?” “You have 23 cards back from PSA.” “I love you…” “I love you too.” “On my way.” I have a really good relationship with the people at this GameStop 😆 19 PSA 10’s 4 less than 10 My percentage of spotting a 10 is 82.6 percent on this batch. I was at 60% when I first started. 60% wasn’t great but it was good enough to get me started on this path. Now time to put them on eBay and make some sales.
