Card show advice.
I been thinking about this alot as someone new to going to a card show and this is what i would want to be told and would like to share with others.
Card shows are honestly one of the best parts of the hobby… but it’s also real easy to waste money if you’re not careful.
If you’re going to one (or thinking about it), here’s what I’ve learned:
<hr data-start=”331″ data-end=”334″>
<strong data-start=”336″ data-end=”378″>• Don’t rush to buy at the first table<br data-start=”378″ data-end=”381″> Walk the whole show first. Prices can be all over the place.
<strong data-start=”443″ data-end=”464″>• Know your comps<br data-start=”464″ data-end=”467″> Always check recent eBay sales. Some tables are priced way high hoping someone doesn’t know better.
<strong data-start=”568″ data-end=”584″>• Bring cash<br data-start=”584″ data-end=”587″> Cash talks. You’ll usually get better deals.
<strong data-start=”633″ data-end=”673″>• Don’t be afraid to talk to dealers<br data-start=”673″ data-end=”676″> Just be respectful. Ask “what’s your best on this?” and see where it goes. Bundling helps a lot too.
<strong data-start=”778″ data-end=”796″>• Set a budget<br data-start=”796″ data-end=”799″> Super easy to get caught up and overspend.
<hr data-start=”843″ data-end=”846″>
<b data-section-id=”t8lcu4″ data-start=”848″ data-end=”878″>🚨 Stuff to watch out for:
<ul data-start=”879″ data-end=”1018″>
- Overpriced hype cards
- Cards that look clean but might be altered
- Autos without authentication
- Impulse buys you regret later
<hr data-start=”1020″ data-end=”1023″>
<strong data-start=”1025″ data-end=”1048″>Best move honestly?<br data-start=”1048″ data-end=”1051″> Take your time, talk to people, and enjoy it. Some of the best deals come from just building relationships.
<hr data-start=”1160″ data-end=”1163″>
What’s the best deal you’ve ever found at a show? 👇
