Cardboard Philosophy
Cardboard Philosophy explains the mechanics of the card market and provides a framework, strategy, and advanced tips for how to profit on sports cards. Let’s refine our approach!
What can we control?
With any kind of investing, there are really only two things we’re trying to improve: what and when. Specifically it’s what we invest into and when we both buy and sell that investment.
If we always had the perfect inventory and could always time the exact peak of the market, we’d virtually be able to make limitless money, and quickly.
The challenge is we can’t predict the future with 100% accuracy. But if we constantly work to improve in these two areas, we can become better investors, avoid losses, and make more money. Let’s get into it, shall we?
How to Make Money with Sports Cards
Let’s get straight to the point. How can you make money with sports cards?
Values don’t magically change, so it’s far easier to be successful if we roll out an actual strategy. In How to Make Money with Sports Cards, we look at proven methods to turn a profit on cards. This includes an overview of prospecting, grading, finding value, negotiation tips, long term investing, and more.
Why Do Sports Card Values Rise and Fall?
There are lots of reasons. Let’s dig into them so we can be more strategic with what and when we buy & sell.
Opportunity Cost and Sports Cards
Our time and money are not infinite. We have to make decisions – if I buy Player X, I can’t spend the same money at the same time on Player Y. We must be aware of the value and potential not only of the cards we invest in, but of the ones we could invest in. Are we holding the best investment?
See the full breakdown of Opportunity Cost and Sports Cards for a look at how we can leverage the concept of opportunity cost to help improve our investing decisions.
Grading Sports Cards
Grading cards can be a nice way to add value to your inventory. Here we’ll dive into why we should grade, what we should grade, and how to do it.
