Advertise on podcast: Rookie Card Investor

A different episode today, I'm seeing so many instagram and tiktok accounts trying to get to 1,000 to start their own card breaks.  In almost a year of trying out different types of videos here's how I'd get to 1000 fast.  My social media strategy, is not the best strategy overall so don't copy me. I hope you get some value here to grow on social organically, give more than you ask for. - Luke

In this episode I talk about the large influencers in the Space ie Garybee, Sports Card Investor, Card Ladder, Fanatics etc and if they truly influence other people in the hobby.  Personally I think they don't need to influence someone for a quick $1000 dollar win based on other success' and they are purely documenting their process already and making content out of it. PSA's grading report over the last 7 days has TCG rising up the ranks, and a drop in sports - PSA would like to get up to 45,000 cards graded daily by end of Q4. Lastly a sports card market update - I think the market is stable as its been in the last year, more and more big sales are being made at shows, so we aren't seeing them online or at Goldin.

In this episode of the rookie card investor podcast I rant about Facebook groups not removing old Henry Ruggs cards as these were very active on buy sell trade groups.  The NFL Trade deadline that wasn't very popular, and something I didn't predict.  Will we see some players get cut then added to a team later? Who knows? I talk about why I am buying Christian Kirk cards, and a little on the Hobby AI and Drip live for sports cards. Hobby AI Review video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdWtIl2D3Yk

In this sports card investing podcast I share some ebay best practices I see after watching my friend make some mistakes when getting into the hobby, and how to list a card on ebay. Second - an idea I have with COMC and if we should be buying more cards there to sell cards faster as supply chains slow down, and domestic Shipping lead times keep getting faster Third - my current and favorite sports card flipping strategy to stay liquid, and keep trading up in the hobby. Thank you so much for listening and sharing our love of Sports Cards, collect what you love - and don't take it too seriously. -Luke

I ordered a box of Topps Chrome from Fanatics, and I wasn't thrilled with how long it took, I hope that won't turn off sports card collectors that look to sell at least some of their cards back to collectors when ordering new product.  I'm sure this will get all cleaned up when they have the license. Secondly - I talk about my favorite thing in the hobby Football Cards, Skill position players have made a slight surge and Joe Burrow is getting a lot of love on ebay. Thanks for listening! Luke

The Nfl season is back, and so are those rookie card sales!  Trey Lance, Trevor Lawrence, and Mac Jones are dominating the charts!  Secondly the last few months have been weird in the hobby, and it's gotten a little toxic I think this will change shortly, as we awaited the new season in the NFL! Thanks for listening

I saw a lost on Instagram speaking on razzes and breaks and if they are gambling or not. This kinda riled me up and I spoke a few words on this.

so what happened when Only Alt apparently messed up their code and was stealing our data? i don't know if this was intentional and sorry for anyone I led to the platform that might be at risk now.

I discuss my trip, visits with OnlyAlt, ComC, Starstock, Probstein, PWCC, HGA, SGC, and discussing what I bought and saw on the sale floor. If you have interest in taking OnlyAlt up on their sign up bonus me and you both will receive $10 to our accounts - here is the code https://app.onlyalt.com/signup?rc=83tbbf #sportscards #investinsportscards

Ever felt burned out by posting to social media, ebay, and scouting the card market.  If you feel like mailing it in some days and are frustrated, I share some strategies I've used to study things similar to sports cards to better my supply and demand skills while taking time away form sports cards.  I hope you enjoy any of the strategies here, and if you have questions hit me up on instagram! Be well friends - Luke

In this episode I compare the wander hype to where Shohei is at in his season taking devils advocate to other commentators in the hobby.  Next with the new data tools ie market movers, Card Ladder etc are buyers more cautious to pull the trigger on certain cards since they are convinced its more or less than the recent sale?  Just food for thought. Thanks for listening!

PSA is opening up tomorrow... what is going to happen with prices and Turnaround time.  I react to key takeaways from Nat Turner's recent interview with Sports Card Investor's Channel.  He speaks on wanting the service to be for collectors, which I happen to disagree with. Secondly we talk about Mia Hamm's SI for Kids card hitting a whopping price, and exciting news for Women's Cards in the Hobby. Lastly I talk on the market in terms of what cards are moving and holding value along with user questions.
