Thinking about making a YouTube devoted to flipping... I watch some of these videos and yea they kind of know what they are talking about, but... Well 1858 pages of completed transactions and every flashback/legend card in my inventory I think Im better... Basically just seeing if anyone would be interested in checking out the videos?
I have 1989 pages of completed orders, 5 million stubs and every flashback/ legend card....its not hard.
So we are about even... Actually you have made less than me... But it is not as easy for some people...
I have every other cardbin game too...uniforms, equipment, icons, nameplates, stadiums, sounds, and perks...I doubt you have them too....that adds about 2-3 million to how much I have earned...you are adorable
Well first you are a tool... Second you are wrong... -

I’ll toss you a view If you promise to continue having tantrums over pause timers, bragging about offline parallels, telling people you would “spit in their face without hesitation,” and noting how you are “bigger or stronger.” Hell, call me a fan if that’s the case.

Lol the not as easy for some people wasn't even directed at you... But you are definitely a tool for sure... You have made less though cause I started mid May... I'm sure you started pre launch... Adorable little kid you...

I have two serious suggestions for people looking to make stubs -- 1.) stop buying packs (of any kind), and 2.) spend less time on the forums and more time on the market. I know that sounds rude, but I'm honestly not trying to be an Arizona D-bag when I say that. I was recently banned for a month from the forums so I spent my boring downtime at work doing flippy floppies instead of trolling. I went from 15K and an embarrassingly thin inventory to about 250K in liquid stubbies + a good amount of longterm investments + I am confident I am ready (or almost completely ready) to unlock whatever the next big collection reward is on the day it releases. On a bad day I still make 100K per day without much effort. (And please don't take that as a "brag" or a "flex." It takes zero brain cells to do this, so I'm not trying to be the Warren Buffet of the MLBTS market.)
As is usually the case in life, I would suggest avoiding the extremes. Don't try flipping high-priced diamonds expecting 10K+ per flip, and don't waste time entering 1000s of 25 stub buy orders on bronzes hoping to make a 100 stub profit per flip. Look for the 600-800 stub margins and just exploit those.
EDIT: Oh, and don't do it on a phone or on the console. Use a desktop and use copy-paste. Choose a very manageable number of cards (maybe 10-20) and concentrate on those. Don't spread yourself thin by having to load 100 different pages. Just enter 10 buy orders at a time for 10-20 different cards, then reload those.
DOUBLE EDIT: Also, just be patient. Everything in a reasonable price range will sell eventually. Don't get sucked into the undercut game. If you know you can sell a card for 2K and some Wangder Franco swoops in with a sell order of 1900, don't cancel and relist at 1895. Have faith. It'll sell for 2K eventually. That's why I suggest not getting into the high-value new cards. Those are volatile. But the golds and low diamonds that have been around forever are relatively stable.

I've thought of this and while I do like the idea of helping others out...if you get too specific you will kill the market for what is working. Not to mention that flipping isn't rocket science and if you are not having success, you really aren't trying that hard.
So many aspects to this game that are hard...but the market really isn't one of them in my opinion. I think most people who have trouble with the market or flipping in general, just don't want to spend their time that way ...which is very, very fair.
The ones that have trouble is the only ones this is for... You don't teach a doctor they are a doctor you may be a better doctor but for them schools out... You teach the premeds... I see bad and vague advice offered to them... As for killing the market... Doubt I would get that many views...
Please tell us more about your educational philosophy on your YouTube channel.

its simple there are 4 types of basic flipping
1 the big score trying to get 10k in profit + (this is hard to do and why a lot of people dont try and think flipping is impossible )
2 pure numbers game ( buying hundreds of cards with a low profit margin of 100 to a few hundred per card easy to do but time consuming )
3 the upgrade gamble ( buying a large number of a single player in hopes he goes up a color tier to quick sell )
4 program/easy exp cards ( these cards have a much higher stock market feel because a lot are given as rewards and have a short window of need ) -

You don't have to aim for 10K per flip and you don't have to settle for 100, either. You can find avenues to make 600-800 or sometimes even 1K at a time. That's been the best road for me.
I made a ton in 19 using #3. Every gold I invested in eventually went diamond, so I thought I was a genius. Last year my luck ran out and most of my investments didn't hit. I was sitting on a gazillion Tim Anderson and they didn't make him diamond until the last update after the season ended, and by then everybody was a millionaire several times over and it didn't matter anymore.

Averaging 2166 in the month of July, myself (not including "flips" of cards acquired through pack openings)
Stubs are there for those who want to earn them. It definitely takes "sweat equity", but if you put the work in, you can get the stubs out.

2166 per flip? That's a sexy margin. Is there an easy way to find the average profit per flip, or do you have to keep your own spreadsheet?

Gotcha. If I could export my transaction history into an excel document I might do that. But I don't think I'm interested enough to put that kind of time and energy into monitoring my progress. As long as the numbers are going up (and I'm adding to my inventory) then I'm a happy hippopotamus.

Not quite 2166 but I've been averaging roughly 17-1800 per flip the last few weeks. Like others have said I think the reason people don't flip much is because they think we are all making 10 or 15k per flip and they can't find cards where that is possible lmao

I am getting 400-1k the cards I am flipping are moving fast, hard for me to keep up at times.

another thing that people dont think about and it cost them a bunch of stubs is not putting your card first to buy or sell a lot of times there is a larger price gap putting your cards 3rd-6th and waiting 5 min longer to let it sell

I almost like flipping more than playing the game. I don't have time to grind out BR or events so I flip to get the cards I want. Get accused of buying stubs all the time. Sometimes the market does get dry but there are always stubs to be made. Seeing people undercut the market drives me crazy but you can't do anything about it. The community market trends online help out tremendously. Show you how quick buy/sell orders are made.

What the harm in trying? If you want to make a video, do it.
He's looking for attention. A normal dude would make the video and ask us to watch it. He needs internet acceptance.
Exactly what I was thinkin’ and I m not a “fan” of op. Smh

I agree about enjoying flipping more than playing. Flipping allows me to play the game modes i enjoy, like playing the orioles on rookie at Shippett. Who needs more stress in their life?

I'm with you, bro. If you want something even more stress-free than that, try playing RttS on "Beginner" (which is one step easier than Rookie). The PCI extends well beyond the strike zone, so you can just sit back, power swing, and hit 200+ HRs per season. Be careful though -- back in 2019, my RttS player hit something like 270 HRs in one season, but the game only records, I think, a max of 255 per season. So it only looked like I hit 15 that year, and my WAR fell from like 40 to about 7 or 8. I still ended up in the Hall of Fame with about 2500 HRs, so I guess things turned out OK for my player in the end.

I'd watch a new video on flipping. My strategy on flipping is a lot like the one Schnauzer laid out. I generally don't flip the higher priced/higher risk cards and stick to the 600 to 1k per flip profit. When I have time throughout the day I'll hop on my computer and update all my orders. It's not a HUGE daily profit but it's fairly easy and day after day it adds up. I like hearing other peoples strategies on flipping and am always open to learning new ways to do it so I'd check out the video.
