Tap in Right now ❗️

Nah there’s really nothing to tap into 🤣. However,
I’m taking it upon myself to learn, grading and evaluating cards.
Not because I feel like bigger companies squeeze consumers. ‘ I do think that’…. But i do think it’s worth learning a skill set that will be very much useful. Now before I get the. ‘Bro AI grading is taking over.’
I still don’t think that should take away from people learning how to evaluate cards in general. I have nothing to offer, but I do think it’s a cool skill to learn if you are in any part of the card hobby 😎.

Follow along if you want to see what I’ve learned about grading.

Welcome to my card mail day 🫪!. I ain’t even mad about it lol. Card came in one piece and the seller recycled. It’s a win win for everyone.

There is so much noise in the hobby right now.
So I decided to explore @agsgrading.
- So far the process has been very straight forward.
- the pricing is very fair from what it seems.
-The turn around times are GREAT.
With that being said. I’m enjoying this process and look forward to a great experience and trying new companies.
Has anyone else graded with them? What were you experience?
Tell me about it in the comments.

Bonus: tell me the best card you’ve pulled on stream. Best one gets a shoutout in my next reel 🏆

Found this bin of cards buried in the back of my garage and I was NOT ready for what was inside 😮‍

Bo Jackson. Barry Bonds. Deion Sanders. Ken Griffey Jr.

Legends just sitting in a dusty box collecting who knows how much value over the years 👀 Makes you wonder what else is hiding in garages and closets right now that people have completely forgotten about.

If you’ve got old cards lying around — GO CHECK. You might be sitting on something.

Drop a 🔥 if you had any of these guys growing up, and let me know in the comments what you think this bin is worth 👇

Every collector has that one card they can’t decide what to do with… and for me, it’s Shohei.

Part of me wants to keep these in the PC because players like him don’t come around often. The other part of me knows the playoffs could bring a huge opportunity if the market catches fire.

So I’m stuck… would you hold and enjoy the collection, or sell into the playoff hype and lock in the profit?

I’m genuinely curious how other collectors think about moments like this. 👇

Almost didn’t grab these… but I trust my process. 🤞🏽

Got burned chasing hype before. Now I move early or I don’t move at all.

This week — Drake Maye, Jaxon Dart & a couple NBA rookies I’ve been watching quietly. 🏈🏀

The window is open. I’m in. You still sleeping? 👀

Drop a 🔥 if you copped something this week..
