Description

After breaking down PSA 9 and Beckett findings on Instagram last week, this episode returns to fundamentals: how to actually make money in sports cards.

You'll Learn:

• The MLD Framework (Market, Legacy, Design) for valuing any card in 60 seconds
• The Rule for Auction vs BIN... and when to break that rule
• The velocity of money principle: fast nickels vs slow dimes
• How to identify demand windows and downshifts
• Speculation vs investment: knowing which bucket your cards belong in

The data is clear: sellers using auctions get 14.4% more than Buy It Now listings*. But there's a catch—and it matters for high-value cards. This episode breaks down when to use each strategy, how to ride attention cycles, and why capital that isn't working for you is working against you.
