Which Card Grading Company Makes You the Most Money? PSA vs BGS vs SGC vs CGC vs TAG

What is up everybody? Dave here at Go Big Sports Cards. What you're about to see was a three and a half month experiment started at the end of February and ending in the beginning of June. And this is super cool. Stay tuned. You guys are going to get to see a huge detailed comparison of PSA, Beckett, SGC, CGC, and TAG. Check this out. This was super fun to uh film, and you guys are going to learn a lot, especially if you like to grade cards. So stay [Music] tuned. What is up everybody? So I'm going to do a big experiment and I'm doing it for me, but I want you guys to check it out, too. I typically always grade with PSA. However, I've had some issues with them lately. I've had cards come back that get really low grades. Um, submissions take a long time, but I understand that PSA is like it's the bar. Like people look for PSA 10s. So, what we're going to do is I've collected some cards. Okay. Now, I'm probably going to lose money on this. I probably am, but I'd rather do it with these and try to figure out what's going to be my go-to grading company going forward. So, a couple things I'm looking for is I want to look for um you know, the cost to grade the card, the turnaround time, the look of the case is really important to me, especially if I'm grading for my PC. Then also, you know, how does it rank as far as reselling, you know, compared to other grading companies. So, I have some cards sitting here. So, let's go through them. So, for instance, here, this is a 2000 2324 optic Assur Thompson rookie. Okay, I have five of these. They're all numbered. Here's five identical cards. Okay, here's all my Paul Skins that I've collected. All paper. Okay, all paper Paul skins. All right, I'm going to send all these in. Jackson Merrill. Here's 10 identical cards. Okay. Typically not something you'd grade, but you'll see what I'm going to do in a second. Here's all my Ellie cards. LED la Cruz. So, again, all paper. I'm not doing any chromes. I'm not doing any refractors except for this one just because I had I got five of these on a whatnot stream. I'm like, this will be perfect. Okay. Um, we have an Otani MVP cards from Tops Now. I have five of these. Okay. These are all in really good shape. Same with the judges. I got five judges MVP tops now. And then here is the Otani 5050 card. I mean, I've got a bunch of these. But what I'm going to do is there's five grading companies I'm going to submit cards to. There's PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, and TAG. And what I'm going to do is submit these cards to all these companies. So each one's going to get one of these. I'm going to try to distribute these between the five between the five, etc., etc. Once I get them back, we're going to look at the cases and see what they look like, you know, the pluses and minuses of the case. And then we are going to sell them. And we're going to see how these cards do, you know, normal cards, nothing like autographs. We're just talking about basic cards to grade. Okay. Now, to go over the different grading companies. So PSA is going to be $24.99 per card with a 45day business turnaround. If you are a member of the collector's club, which is $149 a year, you can send these cards in for $16.99 with a 45day turnaround. Becket is $17.95 with subgrades and $14.95 without them with a 45day turnaround. Tag is $15 a card with a 10 to 15day turnaround. pretty straightforward. SGC is $15 a card with a 5 to 10 day turnaround. And lastly, CGC is $12 a card with a 35day turnaround. You will get a lower price if you purchase their membership. A premium membership is $159 and a elite membership is $329. With the premium membership, you get the cards graded for $10.80 a piece. With the Elite, you get them graded for $9.60 a piece. So, with all that being said, here's our cards. You're going to see me in different outfits. This is probably going to take two months for me to make this video. I'm going to get these submitted. I'm going to get them packaged up, get them off to the PO post office. Today is February 19th, and uh then we'll see when they come back and we'll open them and take a look. Hey everybody, just giving you a little update here. It is February 20th. So yesterday I packed up all the cards. So we've got five boxes. I'll show them to you all in there plus eBay orders. I'm sending them all. So we should get them to them in the next day or two and we're going to see how quickly we get our cards back. So stay tuned. I'm going to keep giving you guys updates as things happen. All right, everybody. Let me give you an update. So, February 19th, I uh placed all my orders. Um they were all USPS priority, the expedited pri priority, the express priority express. So, they're all basically overnight. Um I fully insured them. It cost me a lot, but they were all dropped off to the post office next day, which you just saw. So, today is March 30th. Okay. I want to give you guys an update. First thing, first update is PSA. PSA received the order on February 21st, shipped on the 20th, and they received the order and took the order in on the 21st. As of March 19th, they are they had ordered, done the order prep, and now they're doing research. So, basically, I have no images. I have nothing other than they have said that they've researched the cards. Then, let's move to Beckett. So, Becket also received the cards on February 21st. So, the next day after I shipped them, they received them. Becket has actually shown me all the cards and it is their starting grading as of this point. So, as of March 30th, they're starting grading. SGC, well, I really don't have to tell you much about that because on March 21st, that got shipped back to me. So, exactly one month later, I have everything in my hand. SGC, they actually, from my memory, because I can't look at any at anymore, I think they actually showed they received the cards 5 days after it was actually delivered, but as you can see, SGC just knocked it out of the park, graded the cards immediately, and shipped them right back to me. So, SGC is off to a really good start. CGC CGC received the cards on the 25th. Now, again, what I'm going to tell you guys is that everything was shipped overnight. So, all of my tracking numbers showed on February 21st, they were delivered and signed for. So, 4 days after it was received, CGC actually told me, "Hey, we have your cards." Okay, as of this point right now, all the cards are going through grading, encapsulation, and imaging. Now, let's lead it to tag. Okay, tag. So, Tag, when I sent in my order, TAG was a 10 business day turnaround. Right after I sent it, Tag went online and basically told everybody that they are so overwhelmed and they can't handle anything right now. So, TAG again, it showed delivered on the 21st and I actually Oh, here we go. They don't show it received until March 1st. It was like almost 10 days after they actually received my package that it showed received on their end as of March 24th. So again, 24 days after now, these are not business days, but still 3 weeks 3 to four weeks after they received my package, it is still in verification for a service that is a 10day service. So, as of right now, like I said, something to consider, the big boys, Becket, PSA, both got the packages immediately and updated their website saying, "We received your packages." All the other three, so CGC, SGC, and TAG, there was a four to five day delay between CGC and and SGC telling you that they actually have your package. And then TAG was like 10 days after they received it. And um as of right now, you know, PSA shows order prep, becket shows going through grading, CGC go is showing grading and tag is still showing just verification of the items. So again, all things to consider looking at the price of your cards because as you guys know, as I do, price fluctuations change daily. So you want to get your cards back right away. Okay, everybody, it is time to unveil these cards. So, let's talk about a few things real quick before we open the boxes, which are sitting right behind me here. So, there's going to be seven different things we're going to be focusing on on reviewing these grading companies. Number one is the cost. What did it cost for each of these cards, which we spoke about earlier in the video? Number two is the receiving time. So, how long did it take for them to actually receive the card once I sent it? Um, also return time. So, how long does it take that take them to return it back to us? Number four is the interface. So, how are they communicating with you? What kind of interface online do you have to check the status of your cards? Number five is the packaging, which we're going to jump into. How are they packing the cards to send them back to you? Six, and one of the most important ones is the slab. You know, what do you think of the slab? And then seven is the value. And what I mean by the value is, you know, what what kind of return are you going to get on your money against each of the grading companies based off the same card, which we're going to do an experiment on that as well. So now let's talk about the turnaround times and when I actually received everything. So PSA was April 23rd. So again, showed received on the 21st of February. I got my cards back on April 23rd. They are saying 45 working days. It was 43. Beckett I received on April 25th. That was 45 working days that they said and it was 45 working days I got them back. So exactly what they told me. SGC said it was 5 to 10 business days for receiving the cards back. I received them on March 21st. That was 20 days. So it was actually more than double of what they said until I got my cards back. CGC says 35 working days. I received the cards on April 14th. That was 36 days. So, they're one day late. And then TAG TAG said a 10 to 15 day turnaround. And I received these cards on April 10th, which was 34 days after I submitted or after they showed that they were received, not when I submitted them. So again, PSA Beckett showed the cards immediately and they both stuck to their turnaround times and were there exactly when they said. SGC was 10 days late, CGC was one day late and TAG was over 25 days late. So let's go ahead and get into the interfacing of the cards. So here's the interfaces of the different graders. This is PSA. PSA's interface is really good. Uh they tell you when the cards have been received. They tell you when they're going through authentification. They tell you they when they've been graded. They tell you when they're being assembled. Once everything's done, you see your grades. You see the cert number so you can research the pop. You see pictures of front and back of the card that you can zoom in. So overall, you know, a very polished interface. They've been doing it a while. They know what they're doing. It's easy to see what's going on with your cards. Another side note is that PSA's customer service is excellent. They answer the phone when you call and they return emails if you have any questions. Becket, here's Beckett's interface. So, Becket really does not do a good job of telling you what's going on with your cards. Um, there's no real updates until they say they're graded and then they're shipping. Um, when when they're graded, here's what you can see. You know, you see the subgrades, you see the pop report. No pictures. Um, and a side note, Beckett's customer service is horrendous. They never answer the phone. I've tried for five days in a row to get somebody on the phone. They basically just hang up on you and they don't answer emails. Uh, so if you're trying to get a hold of Becket, really good luck. So, moving on to our next grading company is SGC. So, SGC's interface is pretty good. Um, their app is very good. You can see pictures of the cards. They tell you what's going on. You get the grades. You can see the images. They don't upcharge you for good card grades like PSA does, which is PSAs. That's a joke that they do that. But, um, yeah, overall SGC pretty good. Here is CGC. CGC again does a decent job of telling you what's happening. um you know, not as good as I would say SGC or PSA, but once the cards have been graded, you can see pictures. Um there's not a lot really as far as pop. You know, it it's a little simpler, but it it works. Um nothing really bad to say about them, but nothing really great to say about them. And then you have tag. So tag tag is just kind of a mess. This interface here to talk to somebody, the help does nothing. If you try to get somebody on the phone, you won't get anybody on the phone. So, tag overall interface is decent. I don't like the way that they um you can order the cards. But let's talk about the dig report. This is what really makes tag stand apart. So, every single card gets this report. If you scan the um QR code on the card, you'll also see this. There's a tag score that's out of a thousand, by the way. So, you can even go more than just by up to 10. You can go up to a thousand. But check this out. You can actually look at the surfacing of the card. How cool is that? So, I mean, if there is any kind of ding on the card, you're going to see it. It tells you the population. It tells you the card rank. So, if it's a card that's more common, then there's no one who's grading this card other than me. Um, you can see more of a rank of the card. There's all of your dimensions. Here's all of your corners, edges. It shows you down to I mean like it looks like the a thousandth of an inch um of of the corner of all the centering. Here's the corners. You can zoom in on all of them. You can see what the corners look like. They identify any kind of dings in the card stock. Here's all the edges. Again, you can see them and zoom in on them. And then they also include these awesome images that you can actually download and use on like an eBay listing to sell the card. So, I mean, how cool is that to show that on your eBay listing instead of having to take a picture of the card, you can just download the image. And again, anybody with a mobile phone or smartphone can can uh scan that QR code on the card grade itself and pull this up. Okay, everybody. Now, let's go ahead and unload the boxes and check out the slabs. So, let's start with good old PSA. Everybody's seen PSA before, but in case you have not, this is what they come back in in a box that looks like this. It says PSA on it, and then they do a pretty good job of packing up the the slabs, unless you drop them like that. So, they wrap them up in uh some foam. They put them in a box. Your order is is included in there. So again, packaging is good and uh shipping is quick. They send them back to you fast. So let's go ahead and take a look at a PSA slab, shall we? So here's an LED L Cruise Gem Mint 10. So you got the, you know, traditional PSA label at the top. Shows the uh the grade there, the card number, and there's your slab. I mean, it's it's a good slab. It's nice and thin. They stack well, you know. Nothing nothing flashy about this slab at all. Again, tons of recognition with the slab. So, there's your PSA. And again, we're going to go through the slabs all in a second, but there's the PSA slab there. So, we'll put these off to the side. Next, let's go to Becket. Oh, Becket. So, Becket comes in a box like this. So, it's it's packaged properly, but that's how they come. So, we'll get this out of the way. There it is. Then all of the cards come in a bag, which I do like. PSA does not do that. PSA does not do that. So, let's find an Ellie in here. Here's an Ellie. Do we have an Ellie 10? We don't. So, here's a Becket slab. Um, these are kind of big. They're thick. They are very sturdy. We'll take this out of the bag so you guys can see it better. What I like about Beckett is right up at the top there, the grades. You don't you don't have to get these. You can spend $3 less a card and not get the grades, but I like the grades just because it shows you why you got the grade you got. So, this this metal or metalish um label is cool. I do like the grades, but this is what a Becket slab looks like compared to a PSA. So, let's put these aside. Next, let's go to SGC. This is how SGC comes. I already opened this cuz I had to pull a card out of it, but um this comes in a bigger box than just this, but they got the tuxedo slabs and then all of the slabs come in like this with a big rubber bander on them. We don't need this. So, there's our SGC box. And again, we're sticking with Ellie Dea Cruz here. Rubber bands. Let's find an Ellie. Not every card comes with a plastic cover on it, which is weird. So, like this is a 10 and so is this other one. And they put plastic over that 10. But, so here is a SGC slab compared to Beckett and PSA. Now, let's go to CGC. So, this box had a big order in it. I sent a bunch of stuff to CGC. So, this is how they come. This was like full. I like how they're in there. They're separated. Again, no bags on the the slabs, but they got those nice dividers in there to protect them. I have not This was my first submission to CGC. I sent a bunch of cards to them because of the price. They were the least expensive of everyone. So, and I wanted to get a bunch of cards graded, so I sent them out to CGC. So, uh, let's go ahead and find us an Ellie slab. Here's one. Do we have a 10? Let's see if we have a 10. We might only have that one. We do. So, let's put this to the side. All right. So, let's talk about a CGC slab. I like CGC slabs. I I like the clear design. I think it looks really good. Everything's rounded nice. It feels good. I I like the holographic sticker on the back for like the counterfeiting. So, overall, I do like their slabs. I think their labels, again, there's nothing flashy about them. Let me see if there's a pristine in here. So, here's a pristine just to show you guys this. This is like means this card is absolutely perfect. So, obviously the pristine looks really good compared to the base one, but we're comparing the slab case. So, again, I do like the CGC slab. And here it is against the others. And now, let's go ahead and rip open our tag. So, here's tag. Tag gets a lot of good marks for packaging. This is really nice. Let's move these back a tad. The packaging is super nice. And then here you go. It gives you instructions on how to get your report. You get this sticker. And then all of the cards are in this black plastic to like rip them open, which I thought that's kind of cool. So tab or tag definitely gets high marks for packaging, you know. Nice box. I like the the shiny sticker. But again, at the end of the day, would I rather pay less for the card and have it shipped to me quicker than get stuff like this? 1,000%. But tag gets high marks. So, here's a slab. I don't even There's one slab in here that's not even supposed to be in with this. So, that's a Jackson Merrill that I wanted to sell. There's a Victor Webmanyama I got that I got um graded in here that I using want to put on my eBay store. I'm trying to find an Ellie. There we go. All right. Here's an LED la Cruz. First time ever holding a tag slab. So, let me tell you guys what what I think here. So, here it is. Um it's really nice. the It's very nice. So, a couple things to tell you guys. This is really cool at the top where it's clear. I like the QR code that you can scan with your phone and bring up that report. Again, really nice edges, feels good, weights good. And I want to show you something. So, oh, this one doesn't have it. So, I saw some of the SGC slabs that had scratches on the surface. This one's actually really good, but like this tag slab is like mint. I mean, it is mint. So, there's another uh slab for you guys to compare to. Again, it looks a lot like the CGC, but let me show you something else else with CGC. So, I don't know if you can see this, but there's like plastic all over this thing. like plastic shavings. So again, I you almost have to like wipe down. Yeah, you can see at the bottom all down here. You like have to clean these off when you get them. Again, this is the lowest price of all of them, but I don't want to also have to clean off my slabs when I get them where the tag just looks really nice. So, there is your lineup. What I'm going to do real quick is I'm going to shoot you guys some close shots of all five in a row to let you watch how these look. So stay tuned. [Music] [Music] Hey. [Music] [Music] Well, there you go. There was a little slow motion of all five slabs. So, this was the only card that I was able to get a 10 on every single grading company, which is what I wanted. I knew it was going to be really tough to get tens on everything. So, we got a 10 on the Judge MV MVP Tops Now card. Again, I understand that when we do this comparison that if you have a really rare card, you want a PSA 10. You want a black label or a 10 Becket. I get it. that's going to hold more value than any of these others. But what I'm trying to do is figure out what is the best grading company to go for for a card that's not super expensive. You know, just your average card or maybe something that's a numbered parallel or something you just want to get slabbed or like me as an eBay seller, somebody that wants to rip some cards and then get them graded and throw them on my eBay store. So that's what this experiment is all about. So, I want to find out all the facets of the entire process of grading as far as how fast they can get back to me, the cost it is, what the quality of the slabs are, and um what I like best. I mean, for my personal collection, which ones do I like better? So, what we're going to do now is I'm going to list as many of these cards as I can. And what I'm going to do, especially with these five, I am going to put these on 10day auctions. I'm going to start them at a cent. I'm going to pay for the shipping and I'm going to maximize and boost the uh the promotion on these up to 25% on eBay. I am not going to make money on these cards. I am going to try to sell them and get as many people bidding on them as I can and find out which one of these five sells for the most money. I'm going to spread them out over a five each on a different day and we're going to see how these do. So, before I do that, before I sell these cards away, let me tell you what I think of the slabs. Okay, so this is my opinion just looking at these cards. So my least favorite slab of all is right here. I do not prefer the SGC slab. My me personally, I like SGC because they are a quick turnaround and their prices are very good. So for me as a seller, if this one comes in pretty good, I might send more cards to SGC to try to be turning and flipping on my eBay store. So, this would be number five for me. Um, number four. Number four is going to be PSA. So, out of all the slabs up here, this is the one that I like the least. Um, besides SGC. So, to me, it's just very boring. It's very plain. I understand there's some nostalgia with that label and people recognize it, but to me, that slab is very plain looking. There's nothing exciting about it. And again, I'm not looking at these as far as what my return on my money is. Just looking at the slabs. So, this would be number four. So, we have number five, number four. And I'll reorder these. Number three. Number three. I think number three for me is Becket. So, the only reason that Becket is not Becket is not number four because I don't like their slab. I don't like that it's squared off. I don't like the corners, but I like that Becket has the subgrades. So, and but you don't have to pay for those. So, if I didn't pay for the subgrades, this would have been number four and PSA would have been number three. I just don't care for the slab. So, now it comes down to these two. And you can probably tell that I like this clear plastic slab because these both are like that. Okay. So, I like Tag the best. I think Tag Slab is super clean. I liked how it came in the wrapper. I like how there's not a speck of dirt or dust on it. This turned me off because I had to wipe it down. Um, I like this label better. The Pristine 10 label is cool, but if we take the Pristine label away from this, this definitely would be the top for me. So, here's my order of slabs, guys. I like Tag the best. I think CGC is number two. I think that Becket is number three. and Becket only gets to number three because of the subgrades. Number four would be your PSA and number five is the SGC. So there is my opinion on the order of the way of what slabs I like. So now what we got to do is we got to sell these and find out what they sell for. So stay tuned. Okay everybody, the judges have finally sold and sitting in front of me we're going to talk about in just a second when I give my final thoughts. But first, what we're going to do is we're going to put a picture up on the screen of all five of those judges cards, and I am going to talk to you about how they sold. So, again, just to review, all five of these cards went on auctions for 10 days. They ended on different days. They all started at 1 cent. They had free shipping, and I promoted every possible promotion I could pay for on on eBay to get these cars to have exposure. So, let's talk about they're all 10ens and the CGC was a pristine 10, which is their absolute top grade possible. So, let's go over what they sold for. And here we go. In fifth place was SGC at $15.50. So, the SGC Judge sold for $15.50. In fourth place was the CGC Pristine 10 at $17. In third place, you guys ready for this? PSA 10, $21.50. In second place was Beckett at $28. A Becket Pristine 10 sold for $28. And in first place was tag at $36. So the tag sold for almost $20 more than the CGC pristine, which is crazy. So let's take the image off the screen now. Let's look and see what we have in front of us. So what I notice and what you're seeing in front of me is the rest of the cards that currently are still for sale. What I noticed was that PSA seemed to sell very well. However, big graded tag cards were pulling big money. SGC did very well, too, but didn't bring the money. I mean, as far as sales, CGC was probably one of the worst. Um, I did not get any kind of return on my money at all with the CGC's. So, I'm going to talk about in a second what how I feel about CGC, but CGC did by far the worst. So, I brought my most of my money money back was on TAG and PSA. Beckett did fairly well, and then SGC and CGC just brought the fewest the the less the least amount of money, but the SGC sold very well. So, I'm going to pause this real quick and I'm going to show you what is in front or behind these cards. Okay. So, what you see in front of you is how many of each I have left. So, every single grading company had the same amount of cards uh that I sent and got graded. And this is what's remaining. Now, I listed everything as a buy it now with an offer. And I essentially took basically almost any offer that was offered to me within reason. If someone offered me $5 for a card, I'd immediately decline it. But, so here's the deal. I have I have an offer for everybody watching this video. So, and I'm going to say that at the end, but first, let me give you my overall take on this entire process. So, let's talk about PSA first. PSA is the bar. I've said it before. If you have a card that is a big card that you want to keep for a very long time and you want to or you want to get the most amount of money for it and the time it takes for you to get it back does not matter as much. So like for instance the downtown of Jaden Daniels or something like that. Okay, you don't need to have that card back immediately. Uh assuming that he plays very well next year. So PSA is by far going to protect your investment the best by far without question. So PSA again big cards send them there. Beckett. Beckett's kind of interesting. You're seeing a huge stack of Becket there, which I was actually pretty surprised that Becket didn't sell better than it did. So, in my opinion, for Beckett, you need to pull a 10 or a black label to make Becket worth it. Becket has horrible customer service. Their turnaround time is decent. Their grading standards are extremely tough. The subgrades are great, but the Becket cards did not sell nearly as well as I thought. They really didn't. SGC SGC is probably going to be one of my go-to grading companies, and I'll tell you why. Their turnaround is fast. Their prices are good. Their cards sell. So, if if I'm looking at cards that I'm going to be getting graded, I will and I don't need a big, you know, I don't I'm not looking for the big bump. If I'm looking for the quick flip, SGC is by far the best. If it's a numbered card, if it's a rookie card, something that's not crazy big, it's going to SGC. If it's something that a player is hot and I need to get it flipped quick, SGC. So, they by far one of the fastest, their gradings are good, and people buy their product. So, but it didn't pull the money that I wanted it to on some of these cards. CGC. CGC. I like the slabs. The prices are are the prices are the lowest. They're the lowest price of all of them now. Their turnaround's decent, but they don't they don't people don't buy them. I've sold more CGC slabs and non-sports cards than sports cards. So, I am not going to be sending any more CG cards to CGC that are sports cards. I'm not going to do it because anything I had I sold was super cheap. It was I was losing money on every card. People just I don't think take CGC seriously enough when it comes to sports cards. So, I'm not going to send any more sports cards to them. Plus, the fact that the slabs came back all filthy with plastic shavings all over them, that that's kind of unacceptable and and that I have to clean the slabs when I get them back. So, that leaves us with Tag. So, Tag really surprised me. Their cards brought big bucks. You know, their grading is like no other. No, none of the other companies have any kind of grading techniques that they use. And also after the grade, like a PSA, I I get a I get a grade on it. I don't know why I got that grade. I don't know why the grader decided that tag. I mean, I can see down to microscope level of the card. And I know why it got that score. So, tag really surprised me. But I am going to be very cautious with tag. And here's why. I love the slab. I love the grading technology. Their prices now have gone up. It's $15 for a card at a 45day turnaround. So, that's still cheaper than PSA. It's cheaper than than Beckett. But it my problem with TAG is are they going to be there? Is someone going to buy them? Are are they going to be able to turn it around? Cuz they were a mess. I mean, they were supposed to get me the cards back in 10 days and it took over a month. I got no response from customer service. I got no compensation or anything for that the cards taking three times longer than they said when I ordered them. So, there's so many pluses with TAG, but I'm going to be very cautious about TAG and maybe see where it goes. If TAG sticks around and keeps everything going the way it's it is, then I think TAG is a huge player in the market of grading cards because a PSA card is $25 to grade. A tag card is 15. PSA is 65 days, tag is 45. And I got, how much more did I get? I got $15 more for that judge card with it being a tag than a PSA 10. I was totally surprised by that. So, now that we've kind of talked about all of the pluses and minuses of these card companies and you guys got to see them, here's my offer to everybody watching this video. I want all of these cards gone. This was a huge loser for me monetarily, but again, it was a cool experiment for you guys to see, for me to see because I run a business that I need to be flipping cards and I want my money well spent. And I learned so much from this experiment. So my eBay store is in the link, guys. Please go on eBay. Look at all these cards. Here's all the tags. There's an Otani 10, Ellie 9, another Otani 10, another LE 10. We got this Thompson 9. Um, here's the PSAs. I only have three left. PSAs sold really good. SGC's, I only have four left. They sold really good. The Beckets. The Beckets were I couldn't believe it. But look at the cards in here. Skins 95 skins 9 95 Merryill 95 Ellie. Okay. And then here's the CGC's. So 10 95 99 95 and then the 10 skins in the back. Guys, go to my eBay store if you want to buy any of these. I just want to move them. Don't go in there and offer me five bucks, okay? just be be realistic with me. But if you guys go in there and there's any of these cards you want, make me an offer. In the offer, throw a message, say, "I'm a subscriber to your channel," and I'll probably accept it. It's $4 or something for and change to ship it. It'll be shipped in a bubble mailer with card defenders and it'll be shipped fast. But if there's anybody that's watching this that wants some cool cards, I mean, an Otani 5050 uh card with a tag 10, that's a hold. at Otani MVP 95 Beckett with two 10 subgrades. We got Skins 10 CGC rookies. We got Ellie 10 rookies. I mean, there's some cool cards here. So, just to wrap it up, help me sell these guys. I'll take pretty much any offer you shoot me unless again you shoot me a $5 offer. So, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Again, don't forget to hit like, comment, subscribe, help me out. This was a fourmonth endeavor to do this. It cost me a bunch of money, but I'm glad I did it. And I appreciate everybody that was is watching and throwing up comments and likes. So, uh, don't forget I have, uh, a collectibles channel at Go Big Collectibles. There's links there, eBay, Facebook, Instagram, whatnot. I got everything. So, thanks again for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. Throw me a little comment. We'll see you guys in the next one. Peace. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music]
