I no longer need to drive to GameStop… I can buy cards on eBay, pay for PSA grading while buying the card, that card gets authenticated and shipped to psa to be graded and mailed back to me graded…
Saves me time and money. (Plus I can’t use GameStop right now because PSA won’t allow submissions from them currently.)
This saves me time and PSA charges me the appropriate amount up front for the card that I’m sending in. flipping cards just got so much easier.
Plus I’ve been looking at sending cards to Beckett as an alternative. The chance at getting a Beckett black label is low but for the higher end cards it’s statistically more probable.
From what I can tell this service is only offered on $300+ cards. So you’ll need some liquidity to keep this up. But it will start paying for itself as long as you do your due diligence and research every card. That means look at psa population and eBay sales. Be sure to comp your cards in the middle just because one sale was at $2,000 and the rest were at $1,000-$1,500 doesn’t mean you are going to get one that sells at $2,000. Sometimes it’s market manipulation and some times it legit but you still need to comp cards in the middle range.
Now all you have to do is watch anime and make money on your phone.
