Anyone Collect Sports Cards?

[160jordansdeep]

Bowman may be a 8 at best. cant tell of top left corner, but Soft top right corner and very bad bottom right on the back with whiting.

so whats a 8 worth and any of the other cards worth anything

 

[160jordansdeep]

oops

 

[br0keballer]

Only other card worth grading is the Kobe topps. I’m just saying 8 based off the corners and whiting. Could be graded for less but I’m no expert. Gotta see what the surface is like and the other corners and centering. Jordan cards are not worth anything really. The lebron gold bazooka is like a 100 dollar card. Jordan patch is probably 150-200

I recommend checking the sold listings on eBay for your card. If you're trying to move them ASAP, you could get an better idea of how much people are buying them for.

I use 130point.com to gather sale information on eBay

I didn't even see that Kobe Topps RC yesterday in the pics, but yea that should probably be submitted for grading. Also, the Lebron UD Exclusive deserves consideration

I haven't followed baseball cards since I was maybe like 8 or 9 so I can't offer any advice on that.

what do you think the kobe is worth

This will depend heavily on the grade. A 10 can get you a few grand or more, while anything less will knock it down to less than a grand. I'm no professional grader but the corners seem decent from the pics and centering looks decent as well, but 10s are very difficult these days. Note that historically BGS is more strict on centering than PSA

a grand for the card i posted ?
wow

 

[MambaForever]

wow

For the KOBE? You won't get over a grand unless it's graded a 10 and that will be tough to get. But a 10 would get $3000+. Graders can spot flaws on cards that we wouldn't necessarily see from the naked eye

 

[maldonado]

a grand for the card i posted ?
wow

Could be a lot more than a grand or a lot less.

CHeck it out.
A PSA 10 that sold for

same card sold on the same day, but graded PSA 8

condition is everything

 

[160jordansdeep]

i would be happy for a pair of deadstock travis scott 1's in size 9 for the kobe and the bowman lebron

the cards are mint

i dont have the patience or trust to send the cards anywhere especially with the coronavirus

no one knows anyplace in manhattan to get the cards graded or find a serious buyer or shop

 

[br0keballer]

Mint is a stretch. I come across this all the time with people who think there cards are mint and in great condition. Professional graders will spot anything. Ppl send in cards they think in gem mint condition only to be dissapointed. You can only get cards graded by sending it in directly to the grading companies or go through a third party. If you don’t have the patience, expect to shell out 100 plus for the express level. I based the bowman an 8 just off the corners and whiting. Didn’t even account for surface flaws like scratches, dents, etc. plus I’m horrible at identifying centering. Just don’t set your expectations High to be dissapointed. Speaking from experience

Take more detail pics with it out the top loader and even sleeve. Probably could
Give you a more detailed condition

 

[MambaForever]

I don't think any local card shop or serious buyers would be dumb enough to throw TS 1 money at you for those cards ungraded. And like br0keballer had mentioned previously the Bowman Lebron definitely isn't a "MINT" from a grading perspective. There are issues with the corners

i understand what your saying if you see any scratches or dents on the card i believe it's the plastic sleeve not the card

i never touched them or took them out of the plastic baggies the cards are in

 

[maldonado]

the only reputable grading companies will require cards to be sent to them, either by you directly or a third party. You wont be able to get them graded by anybody locally. At least from the perspective of attaching value to them. Gotta be either PSA or BGS.

A few people in here recently got cards graded in the same ballpark (and even more) as your Kobe. I get the apprehension but it can be done safely. The quicker you want it to be done the more it'll cost though.

The only other option is to sell them raw as-is.

If you want a good idea of what the grading company might give you the best thing you can do is let us take a look at the cards out of the top loader and sleeve. We should be able to tell you what you could reasonably expect. Might end up being better to just sell them raw. Anything less than 9 (sometimes an 8 ) isnt gonna do anything for you as far as value goes anyway.

 

[br0keballer]

Yea that’s the prototypical description on eBay lol. “Fresh out pack straight to sleeve and top loader”Yea unfortunately that’s how cards are, you can open a fresh pack and the cards can already come damaged or not mint grading standards. Grading is all subjective anyway.

 

[plansb]

Even cards that come direct from manufacturer in a one touch or top loader arent necessarily perfect, they are created with flaws. Why a true gem mint is rare.

from what you see of the kobe what do you think is the best offer i can get
i called a card shop in manhattan he asked me to email him pics

im sure im going to get lowballed

i dont even remember what i paid for the card anything over 200 is a come up

but i would like a fair value

 

[WASHED KING]

That Topps Kobe is about to go to the moon...I’m in a couple sport card discord’s and they been buying all the PSA 9’s of that card they can find.

They started when they were around $400 now it’s pushing $700

 

[maldonado]

160jordansdeep I'll let others chime in on value, Im not really versed in Kobe cards. I will say, if you want to sell quick I'd hit up アミーゴ and/or br0keballer as they were interested in some of your stuff. Others too in this thread.

Only other option is ebay or your lcs. lcs will give you the least amount Im sure.

160jordansdeep I asked you what you wanted in our PM fam lol
