Using AI to Design Naruto Manga Cards? šŸ‘€šŸ”„

With the news of the new Naruto TCG coming out, we decided to use AI to help us come up with some really cool ideas for cards we’d love to see in the game. One of the biggest things we thought about was how One Piece has manga cards, so we started imagining what Naruto manga-style cards could look like and honestly some of them came out amazing. We wanted to have a little fun with the idea and see what something like that could look like if they really went all out with the design. Let us know what you think and if you’d want to see manga cards in the new Naruto TCG too.

CollX Mail Day! I Got a CGC 10 Ryuma for Less Than Raw šŸ‘€šŸ”„

It’s mail day and we got ourselves another CGC 10 Ryuma Stamp. We’re always using different apps and platforms to look for deals, and this one came from CollX.

Right now on TCGplayer, this card is going for around $120 raw, and we paid less than that for a copy that’s already graded a 10, which to me feels like a really solid pickup.

That’s why I’m always telling people to look around on different apps and not just stay stuck on one platform. Sometimes the deals are sitting in places other people aren’t checking enough.

If you want to try it out for yourself, I’ve got a CollX link in my bio, so go check it out.

Naruto Is Coming Back as a TCG… and I’m Here for It šŸ‘€šŸ”„

In today’s video, we’re talking about how Naruto has officially been announced as the next TCG coming back in a new way. I know Naruto already had a card game before, and I’m still kind of a novice when it comes to the older Naruto sets, so I’m not going to act like I know everything there.

But when it comes to the anime… that’s a different story.

I’m watching it again right now, and I’m in the Fourth Great Ninja War, and man… it is so good. Nobody can tell me Naruto is not one of the best anime out there.

So if they really do this new card game the right way, I think it could be something special. I’m definitely excited to see what they do with it.

Let me know — are you excited for a new Naruto TCG?

What If It’s Hard to Find Cards Where You Live? šŸ‘€šŸ“¦

In today’s video, we talk about what to do if it’s really hard to find cards in your area to start your card business.

One of the first things I always suggest is to start with your friends and family. If they open packs too, tell them to start saving their extra cards for you. Maybe they give them to you, or maybe you buy them from them.

Another thing you can do is go on Facebook and look in other cities too, not just your own. You can even offer to pay for shipping, because if you’re buying the cards cheap enough, there’s still plenty of room for profit.

For me personally, I usually tell people I don’t pay upfront. I have them ship the cards to me first, I verify the counts and conditions, and then I pay them out. Now not everybody is going to be okay with that, and that’s fine. I just move on to the next person until somebody says yes.

And the last big thing I would say is make content. I make content all the time showing what I do, and because of that people reach out to me saying, ā€œHey, I saw you on TikTok,ā€ or ā€œI saw you on Instagram, I’ve got cards if you’re interested.ā€

That’s a huge part of this — you have to put yourself out there. It’s about being seen. People are not going to know you buy cards unless they know you buy cards.

So if you want more inventory, make sure people know what you do.

Our Graded Card Binder Holds 60 PSA Slabs šŸ‘€šŸ”„

In today’s video, we’re showing you the graded card binder that we sell on eBay. It holds up to 60 PSA graded cards, and it’s a really clean way to keep your slabs protected, organized, and easy to flip through.

If you’re a vendor, this setup can make things way easier when you’re showing cards to customers. And even if you’re just a collector, it’s a great way to store your graded cards without having them all over the place.

If you want to grab one for yourself, the eBay link is in the bio, and we’d be happy to get one out to you šŸ™Œ

I just sorted 20,000 cards in about 2 hours and found so many cards worth listing for sale šŸ‘€šŸ”„

People will tell you it’s not worth it… I 100% disagree.

Is it tedious? Yes.
Does it take time? Yes.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing.

For me, I do it in those in-between moments when I’m not doing anything else. When I have a little time here and there, that’s when I sort. And honestly… I love it.

That’s the part people miss. If you enjoy the process, if you’re willing to be patient, and if you’re willing to do the work other people don’t want to do, there is a lot of value sitting in bulk cards.

Sometimes the money is in the stuff other people overlook.

Why I Like Selling Higher-End Cards on eBay šŸ‘€šŸ“¦

Today I got a message from a buyer on eBay about a $450 card saying they never got it. And this is exactly why I like selling higher-end cards on eBay.

Once a card hits a certain price point, eBay has you send it to them first through their authentication program. They verify the card, repackage it, and then send it to the buyer. So once I deliver the card to eBay, my part is done.

If something happens after that — if the package gets lost, damaged, or never makes it to the buyer — that’s no longer on me as the seller. That protection matters a lot to me, and it’s one of the biggest reasons I’m okay with eBay having higher fees.

This is also why I like selling either very cheap cards or higher-end cards. If a cheap card gets lost or damaged, I can refund it and it doesn’t hurt me that bad. And if it’s a more expensive card, I want it to go through eBay authentication so I have that extra protection.

For me, it’s the cards in the middle that are the hardest, because I don’t feel as protected on those.

That’s why even with the higher fees, eBay still makes a lot of sense to me.

We Just Paid $881 to Send 9 Cards to Beckett šŸ˜³šŸ”„

In today’s video, we just paid $881 to send in 9 cards to Beckett for grading. We’ve got a mix of One Piece and PokĆ©mon cards in this submission, and of course the dream is to hit a Black Label on one of them. If even one of these comes back with that black label, I would be absolutely hyped. We also paid for one-day overnight shipping plus insurance, so we are not playing around with this order. This is one of those moments where the risk is real, but the upside can be huge, and that’s what makes grading so exciting. Now we wait and see what happens — I’m super excited for this one.

Collect What You Love šŸ‘€šŸ”„

In today’s video, we’re talking about how when it comes to collecting, you should collect what you want. It’s all about what you like and what matters to you. If you want to collect high-end cards, do that. If you only want one certain card and that’s what makes you happy, do that too. No collection is better than another, because every collection is valued by the person building it. That’s what makes this hobby special — it’s personal. Your collection should reflect what you enjoy, not what other people think you should chase. At the end of the day, the best collection is the one that means something to the collector.

We Found a $250 Umbreon in a Random Box šŸ‘€šŸ”„

In today’s video, we’re showing off the Japanese Umbreon 25th Anniversary card that I randomly found sitting in a box in my room. This is one of those moments that reminds you why it’s always worth going back through your stuff, because right now this card is around $250 raw. And what makes it even crazier is that in a BGS 10 it’s around $700, while a Black Label just sold for about $5,000. So now we’re getting ready to send this card to BGS and see what happens. That’s the fun part of this hobby — sometimes you find a hidden gem you forgot you even had, and now it could turn into something huge.
