Sports Card Investor: My Wife Started Her First Card Collection at a Card Show!

Can a complete beginner learn how to negotiate and build a sports card collection from scratch? Today, I am taking my wife to the Dallas Card Show with a $1,000 budget and one goal: start her very first card collection! With zero experience buying cards, she has to figure out what she wants to collect, how to use the Market Movers app to check raw and graded comps, and how to negotiate with professional dealers on the show floor. We explore everything from high-end Michael Jordan grails to classic 90s inserts of her favorite players (Shaq and Charles Barkley), and she even kicks off a massive "Rainbow Chase" with 2023 Topps Chrome Disney! In this video, we cover: The Beginner Strategy: How to browse a massive card show, identify fair dealer stickers, and negotiate using real-time data from Market Movers. Chasing 90s Inserts: Hunting down iconic (and condition-sensitive) 90s cards, including a transparent Charles Barkley insert and a Shaquille O'Neal Planet Metal die-cut. The First Flip: Buying a BGS 8 Michael Jordan 90s insert for slightly under the last comp with the specific goal of flipping it at a future show. The Disney Rainbow Chase: Discovering the incredibly tough-to-grade 2023 Topps Chrome Disney set and buying two PSA 10 Moana refractors to kick off a 31-card rainbow chase. How do you think she did on her first day of buying and negotiating? Let us know in the comments below.
