@GrantDOtown @CardPurchaser I bought it for my PC since I'm a big Cardinals fan, but I am curious to see if his market pops a bit after last night.

@noahkirsch @CardPurchaser The time to sell maybe right now ? Idk

I'm thinking about crossing this over to PSA. What's everyone's take on having a grade on a 1/1 vs. it just saying authentic? Especially since this probably wouldn't get a 10. @CardPurchaser

@halleygator @Brake7878Jeremy @CardPurchaser I like that approach, that's probably what I'll end up doing. Best of both worlds IMO.

@Brake7878Jeremy @noahkirsch @CardPurchaser I request 10 as minimum grade, otherwise Auth. A. It protects the card B. It authenticates the card C. It allows me to set register the card D. It's still no different than a raw card. The condition is what it is; you still see what you see E. Rarely I actually get a 10!

@halleygator @CardPurchaser I didn't know that was an option! I thought you had to select one or the other. I might just do that then.

@noahkirsch @CardPurchaser I send my 1/1 cards in and say "Either give it a 10 or otherwise just slab it as Authentic."

@Brake7878Jeremy @CardPurchaser Yeah I agree with that. For some reason, when I see a card graded authentic, I start to worry there's some issue with it.

@noahkirsch @CardPurchaser When u see a 1/1 in like a psa 8, it doesnt down grade in my opinion..... its still a 1/1

Stoked to have this in my collection after that performance.

@SCN_Pod Geoff even said in a recent video that the breaking arm of the business gets far more allocation than CardsHQ (the store) does, which is wild to me.

The Biggest Myth in The Hobby...

@SCN_Pod My worry is that big trusted retailers could potentially verify and "seal" the boxes in cellophane and sell them as verified sealed to make more money on them. I really hope this works though, I think it's a good idea, I'm just surprised they'll be shipping from Topps this way.

BREAKING: Topps just made a major move 🚨 After overwhelming demand for Topps Chrome Update Basketball, Topps announced that boxes sold at retail prices will ship with the plastic seal removed to discourage flippers and get more product into the hands of actual collectors. That means less sealed flipping… and more packs getting ripped! #sportscards #baseballcards #sportscardinvestor

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium, with his one-game red-card ban that he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended. Article 27 of FIFA’s disciplinary code states that “the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure.” nyti.ms/3RkeoH5

@BiggzyRips Congrats! I've been following your videos for a bit now and just started posting content myself. Appreciate the videos of you talking about your process and business.

Big day!

@dstrehle76 @CardPurchaser Lots of good options. MarketMovers and CardLadder are great paid options. 130point can be used to look at past eBay sales. If you're looking up graded PSA cards, one of the best ways to see sales it to just look up the certification number and it'll show recent sales.

@CardPurchaser What app do you use to see past sales on cards... been a long time collector and now I'm getting out of cards and looking to price stuff to sell. Thanks for advice.

@AndyZiegler10 @CardPurchaser Congrats! I love the ultraviolets. I'd probably take the buyback offer on the Brady though. Does Arena Club let you request new offers later? That's probably the only way I'd hold for a bit.

@CardPurchaser what’s the play here?

@AddictedHoosier @CardPurchaser I'm 0 for 60 so far, I bought a bunch of the Topps now cards for the NBA playoffs, so hopefully I do better this time. I don't know why I keep trying 😂

@CardPurchaser anyone else buy a ton of topps now cards and just never hit a lucky insert?

@TheCardNoob @hobbymonitor @CardPurchaser Cool, will check it out. Thanks!

@noahkirsch @hobbymonitor @CardPurchaser There is an app called Numbered that has publicly sourced tracking for cards.. it’s extremely helpful for finding supers/papas etc. I haven’t used it enough, but there may be opportunity there to do what you described.

Have you started using AI in your card hobby or card business?

Yeah, I was using Alt as an aggregator for other market places, I was able to pull listings from there and use an LLM to assign a relevance score. What I really wanted was something that was able to search Instagram/twitter posts, but that's tricky. I tracked down a /10 F1 card for about 6 months last year and randomly found someone who posted about it on instagram which led to the purchase, but would be cool if some of that could be automated.

@noahkirsch @CardPurchaser Interesting idea, probably hard to do in practice for some of the more closed marketplaces

@phinstonedcards I hope it wouldn't get your wallet in trouble 😆 but cellypacks.com launched recently if you want to give that a go. I'm planning to roll out fantasy-style rewards by the football season for cards you have in your collection. CELLY10 for $10 off.

What type of trouble can I get my wallet into tonight by buying cards?

@Braddigan89 @CardPurchaser Ah makes sense, seems reasonable. I haven't found any pricing APIs that work at scale (that are free), which is why I asked!

@noahkirsch @CardPurchaser Haha I love it The values unfortunately won’t be free that’s part of the AI

@hobbymonitor @CardPurchaser I was thinking about building something for this, but if you don't already have it, it might be cool to have a feature that will alert users when rare cards are posted somewhere. Like eBay alerts, but more broadly across the web.

@CardPurchaser Maybe just a bit… HobbyMonitor.com

@Shagging_Flies @CardPurchaser Do you find it's able to actually able to catch minor issues that would be caught during grading? Cool if so, just a bit skeptical ChatGPT/Claude/etc would catch those.

@CardPurchaser I like dropping pictures of potential card purchase into AI. It will grade it, evaluate it, and even provide price guidance.
