I look everything over before sending it out. If you look the card over and think it looks clean, there's no need to wipe it. I'll swap out penny sleeves if the one it was sent in was dirty.

For what it's worth, it seems like PSA is getting stricter lately with the overwhelming amount of cards being sent in.


I always swap out sleeves if a raw card comes in a top loader....but i see some of these dudes doing these elaborate cleaning methods on these cards,you cannot tell me its not risky rubbing a card for 5 mins up and down with a cloth,ur potentially gonna damage a corner....Anything i get from a pack or box goes directly into a sleeve and card grader,im not taking it out again to have a dusting session.....i have graded PSA 9s but also quite a few gem mints without doing all of that...

any credence to those out there that say Luka's autos were signed by his mom? :mjgrin:

was researching fraud within the hobby and this vid popped up, it's ratio'd and the guy seems like a tool so idk :rudy:


I don't buy it but there's a decent segment who believe his mom's signing. Prices don't reflect it at all so it's bullshyt until someone catches them in the act.

I do remember Dak getting caught not signing his shyt. Had an auto-pen signing his cards and they were all fukked up. :mjlol:

Why are Sekou Doumbouya cards so overpriced....The guy had 2 double doubles and his optic holos are going for 350.00 ??

Cant invest in prospects anymore that have potential because there ceiling price wise is already reached before even playing a game.

Thinking about getting the few hip-hop autos that are out there.

The Snoop & Method Man A&Gs, Jay Z 05-06 Topps, Big Boi UD Goodwin, Too $hort Leaf Pop Century, & Common Panini Americana seem like the essentials.

When it comes to basketball i prefer right now Panini Revolution,Mosaic and Chronicles right now...

The chronicles stuff is cheaper and has alot of room to grow....and the recon/luminance/revolution parallels are much nicer than prizm/optic...If you wanna get in on the Morant/Zion card hype without getting raped chronicles is the way to go...

Revolution is a sleeping giant. Fairly low overall print run and none of the parallels have a lot of copies either.

Here's a BGS gem Luka RC numbered to 100 that went for $1,600: 2018-19 Panini Revolution Cosmic #128 Luka Doncic Rookie 064/100 BGS 9.5 Gem RC | eBay

A Prizm numbered to 100 would be five figures, easy.

I copped a 2016 Revolution Jamal Murray Astro right when he started going off in the bubble $250 CAD....i was looking for Morant and Zion cosmic,astros and chinese new year parallels and stumbled on some gems for cheap...

Some of those Blowout boys are hyping the fukk out of him. If I had anything, I'd be selling immediately.

I think Court Kings RCs are undervalued too. Tough grades and low print runs, plus they have a great, unique look.

Select Courtside RCs are really taking off. Those should be the go-to "chrome" rookie card. Really low print runs unlike having 50,000 base Prizms.

I’ve always had a interest in sports cards, but never thought about doing it until now. Been watching Gary Vee’s videos and they’ve been pretty informative.

which websites are y’all go to to buy packs? Do you even buy packs? Or tend to go for specific players?

It’s getting harder and more expensive to break packs/boxes yourself. Damn near impossible to hit or you have to pay an arm and a leg for boxes from Panini directly. Grown ass men and all the sneakerbois who used to camp outside Supreme and wait for every Travis Scott Nike drop have seemingly come over to trading cards and have Target and Wal Mart card aisle on lock

I just buy singles that I want off eBay now.
