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.

Most sellers on eBay don’t know about this. Most vendors don’t think about it. GameStop will buy your cards. And it isn’t always for the cheaper price. You would actually be surprised at the prices they buy at. I have been thus far. Another reason why I send my cards through GameStop is because every time they come back I know that GameStop is going to have an offer waiting. I just have to decide if I want to take their offer. A lot of the time the offers aren’t anything special but sometimes they are outrageous and make you feel like there is a problem in their system… I don’t know if it is a bug in their system or what but you can sometimes double or even triple your money with GameStop. And even if you do decide to sell most of your submissions to GameStop you will still likely be in profit as long as you get a high percentage of 10’s back I just sold a card that statistically should only cost $50 in a PSA 10 for almost $700 to GameStop. That isn’t going to happen a lot. But I’ll take the win when I can get one. Simply download the app and click “get estimate.”
