I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Buy Naruto cards. This movie may not come out for another year or so but that gives you time to accumulate the cards. Because when the cards come out, I won’t even try to speculate on what the cards are going to do. But take a look at One Piece and the craze that is happening to those cards. They have the live action bringing new people in and the people that have been watching it for 100 years have been waiting all their lives. lol I don’t know if anyone road the one piece wave in January but one piece cards 2x-10x’d that month. They just gave the cards out at the dodger stadium and one piece scalpers did what they do best and insured that the value would sky rocket. Now imagine you watched one piece have all of this success and all of the guys that got in early were working jobs at the time and now the majority of all of those vendors at least the ones I have talked to are retired from those full time jobs selling one piece cards full time because they hit it hard before the wave started to swell. I am not a financial advisor. Nor am I a rocket surgeon. But I’m going to continue throwing money into the Naruto pot and accumulating cards. If I want to make an easy 50k-100k I’m willing to bet that this is what is going to do it. And the Bandai cards coming out will come out at a premium because of this movie. That doesn’t mean you succumb to fomo (fear of missing out) it simply means, buy some of the main characters here and there before Bandai and this movie come out. We don’t know when the wave will hit exactly, one piece took being on the shelves for 2 years before anyone paid attention to it. The cards that are worth 6 figures in one piece were once $50.00 a few years ago. So when Bandai produces starts throwing them on the shelves so t sleep on them. They will likely get pulled by scalpers and resold on eBay. Sure that part can suck but if you make friends with the scalpers they can be awesome to have around. After all they are people as well trying to make it same as us.

How are you all? my name is Ray. Collector and recently decided to start selling. I've been blessed to be successful in my business so I am taking 1k a month to start to invest into buying and reselling and will see how I grow from there. I took 1 dryer and turned it into 30 and then sold to accumulate my first 1k to Invest. Since then ive gotten my collection to about 3k and have around $1800 cash from the original 1k! Loce strategy and flipping. My goal for my businesses is 1. Have fun 2. Build a legacy collection 3. Enjoy the profits Looking to build relationship with other collectors and buyers so we have a good eco system. Collecting base set Even and all evolutions And anything really

What are your current favorite types of cards to collect? Do those types translate to a decent ROI or are they merely a collectible interest?

I’m bullish on naruto currently. Bandai announced that they were coming out with a naruto TCG again. Since bandai’s announcement these two Kayou cards below have gone up in price. They are one week apart in the price going up which means that people are buying kayou because they are easy to aquire and are being sold in most stores. Bandai naruto TCG cards already exist and they are going up as well but aren’t as easily attainable. Cardass naruto cards are also bullish which hasn’t happened in a while. Now we also have naruto mythos cards that were expensive before Bandai’s announcement but have gone down in price quite a ways. No matter what happens with kayou after Bandai comes out with its new tcg the kayou serialized cards will likely remain high. The prices will fluctuate on the regular cards but I have a feeling that all naruto cards will begin to go up. The reason I’ve been so bullish on naruto lately is because just before Bandai releases I’m seeing kayou dramatically go up in value. So I am essentially accumulating Kayou in order to buy Bandai when it comes out. If Bandai does naruto as it has done one piece there will be 6 figure cards. I will hold onto the cards I like and the serialized cards from kayou and still collect the cards that I like but I have a feeling that Bandai is going to become a large source of income for me personally.

Since GameStop is no longer accepting PSA submissions I have started submitting $300+ cards on eBay to see what results I get. I’ve been pre grading the pictures using AI which is how I typically do it anyways before I buy cards. This card checks all of the box’s. It has a gem rate over 90%. It is one of the main characters in one piece and has a loyal following. I can potentially 4x-6x my money on it. And the list goes on and on. I’ll be submitting the bulk of what I have to Beckett as well which will be about 30-60 cards a month. Not including my sporadic PSA submissions. I figure I’ll probably test these waters by submitting 1-4 cards a month in this way. Because I’m not handling the cards personally I’m not going to over do it investment wise. That’s just a safety rail for trying out eBay submissions. I can’t really recommend anyone do it this way but I am and I’ll post what grades I get here and what they sell for. This is just structured speculation on my end, I’m not much of a gambler.
