Buying low cards to flip later?
-
Keep track off the best hitters and pitchers each month, thats the best suggestion anyone is going to give you. It defeats the purpose of investing if everyone knows what your invested in.

I suppose... but even quick sell rates raise with a players card... I wasn't thinking like what people do with the Trout, Ohtani, Judge cards and jack the market price up. I meant more buying low and quick selling high later.
But I guess I can see that messing the market up too, thinking about it.

Alright. Thanks guys. Was kinda curious other people picks, but I see that's not going to happen. Understandable. Personally I'm looking at Ty France and picked up a few.
Lots of people are still certainly willing to share so don’t worry. You just caught the forum game a little to early in the day. I mean all people use Ferris for is to do their homework and now he’s acting like he’s against it lmfao.

I don't mind helping with "where/how can I get this card"? questions. Other people acquiring cards (only marginally) affects me.
But I'm out there hustling for stubs like everyone else (and dealing with the early-cycle garbage margins).

Whatcha mean by "early-cycle garbage margins?"
Like just that a lot of card aren't worth anything yet?

I have 75 of one player on the Rays and like 80 of one player on the D-backs....

Yea margins frk suck right now

If a certain guy on the D-backs gets a realistic update then I'm going to make a killing. Locked in a ton of him at about 100 stubs a piece. His price should peak right before the update unless he tanks. Now that I've written it, he will. It's like saying "Macbeth" in a theater...

There’s a difference between “investing” and “flipping.” There are lots of good videos on YouTube, but what you’re describing is “investing.” Buy low, plan to sell high. “Flipping” is more along the lines of day trading — buy some cards with a good margin and sell them right back ASAP.
I’ve gotten rich flipping uniforms. I don’t care if everyone hears. Go flip some unis bros. There’s plenty of fake money for everyone!

Check out LS silver and bronze, see how the difference in buy now/ sell now is only about 30-60 stubs or less.
when the demand fades those margins will be 2-3 times that. not just those categories I mentioned it's all of them at this point. -

Any particular sets of unis? Golds or Diamonds? I saw some decent margins on a few...

I'm assuming people do this right? Beginning of the season, a lot of players with underrated cards that are starting off the season super hot.
I was wondering what low cards you guys might be picking up to hopefully flip later? Guessing that their rating shoots way up in the first update.
I'll give a hint as to what I do. In years past, I would flip like crazy. This year, I just don't have the time. But, I do "invest".
In past years, I would buy up non-live-series cards at Quicksell values when it made sense. For example, this year I'm buying up the Gold BR rewards. They've trended right down to QS value. In past seasons, these cards tended to trend back up once the season ended and they're not available (at least until "rewind" packs come out).
So... not sure if it will work this year. But I will typically take a flyer on any non-LS card selling near QS value.
I think everyone should go out and start buying them up immediately. I cannot confirm nor deny that I have hundreds of these in my inventory, but I will be happy to sell them to you at 2,500 today.

I think my biggest "win" investing was buying up hundreds and hundreds of TA7 golds and he went diamond during the last roster update of the year. Maybe 2021? When Diamonds were a minimum of 5,000 QS. Ah, the good ol' days.
-
I usually keep an eye on golds then see how the real world counterparts perform in the season.
-
I wander who a good gold to invest in might be...
-
I might start buying up some Outmans.
