I got caught up last year in the racket of getting all of my sports cards graded and slabbed by either PSA or SGC. Along the way, as grading prices increased, my profit margins shrunk as grades came back lower than I expected.   This combination of market changes and grading factors resulted in a ton of micro-learnings.  The learnings have manifested into a whole new sports card str...

In this video, Murph takes us through a few different cards he brough back from his parents house. We go through them on this episode and talk through which ones he should get graded, and which ones he should just try...

I re-entered the Sports Card hobby in January 2021 after a 30-year hiatus, and it took me at least six months of making mistakes before I finally started to figure out the way the modern card market works.  Like many folks my age (I'm 40), I was thinking about Fleer, Upper Deck, Hoops, Donruss and Topps. And I was thinking Series 1 and Series 2 and that's about it.  But as I came to real...

I've always been a huge sports fan, but at age 40 I'm having the most fun in my entire life following professional sports.  Why?  My re-entry into the hobby of collecting sports cards this year.  Case in point, the 2021 NBA Draft. I wanted to watch the entire thing for the first time in my life.  And I did.  And it was super fun.  I wanted to hear Jay Bilas and the ot...

Sport card breaks, or “breaks” are when a single person (or business) buys an entire box of sports cards, then charges individual collectors for the opportunity to “buy in” and keep a selection of cards from the box.  Typically the format is to enter a group on Facebook. The business/breaker makes a post stating which box(es) of cards will be part of an upcoming break, and gives a day, time a...

When I first decided I wanted to sell sports cards online, I had nothing but road blocks.  eBay wouldn't accept me because I live in Spain but wanted to ship from a U.S. address.  Acquiring cards was difficult, shipping cards was impossible due to my location.  Then I found PWCC. Not only does PWCC store your cards in a vault for you, but they list them on their own marketplace for...

My son Max and I went to visit Chris at Nash Cards in Mt. Juliet, TN after the Nashville Card Show on July 10, 2021.  It had been nearly 30 years since my last visit to a Local Card Shop.  Much like my trip to the Nashville Card Show, I had ZERO expectations of Nash Cards. I mean, I had heard GREAT things about Chris and his team from different podcasts and people at the Nashville Card S...

Here are our top five takeaways from the July 2021 Nashville Card Show: Full blog here - https://nooffseason.com/the-top-5-tak... 1. People are helpful and open-minded.   2.

Today's blog / video is sponsored by Cardscore.com. Cardscore solves a huge problem in the sports card industry today - grading. Grading is expensive from both a time and money standpoint, and can easily drain your resources and shrink your profit margin. There is really no way, other than StarStock, to differentiate ungraded / unslabbed card values against one another. Cardscore is a crowdso...

I made a Facebook post the other day - ironically NOT about my book "What To Do After You Find Your Old Sports Card Collection," and a Facebook friend commented about needing help after finding his old baseball card collection.   https://nooffseason.com/book Long story short, as explained in further detail in the video, he has all of the sets from 1979 - 1989 that he collected (so they're not...

StarStock solves three huge problems for the sports card hobby and market overall. Since I wrote my book in April 2021, the largest card grading companies PSA and BGS have shutdown their economy services and aren't accepting any new submissions until further notice.

I've been absolutely roasted in some Facebook Groups but owning non-rookie base cards that are PSA 10s.  The haters say things like...  "How dare someone ever get a non-rookie card graded?" "That's the reason why the backlog is so long" "I hope your entire card collection goes up in flames because you are the reason why the hobby sucks now!"  You think I'm exaggerating? Go join a Fa...

Major League Baseball sensation Shohei Ohtani is doing what less than five players in the history of the game have ever done - put up all-star numbers as both a starting pitcher and a slugger at the plate.  As of this recording, he leads the MLB in home runs with 23, is third in RBI with 54, and is batting .272, and has 10 stolen bases.  Oh, and as a regular starting pitcher in the L.A....

If you've been hold Vlad Guerrero Jr. PSA 10 rookie cards for the last few years, you're super happy right now, as his prices are back at an all-time high.  So why the heck am I LOWERING my price on my Vlad Jr. 2018 Topps Chrome PSA 10 rookie card?

While other people and content creators in the hobby are concerned with word vomiting out their "takes" on "the state of the sports card market," and click baity topics like "crash vs. correction" and pontificating on alternative investments, I'm focused on one thing and one thing only...  giving you the opportunity to buy the cards you want at the lowest possible prices.  I'm not trying...
