Pricing 101: How to Value Sports Cards & Make the Deal

vendredi 5 décembre 2025 • Durée 40:24

If you don’t know your numbers, it’s impossible to make a fair deal.

Valuation is the hardest part of the hobby. Price it too high, and it gathers dust; price it too low, and you leave money on the table. On Episode 2 of 3rd Down Pulled, Jordan (@3rddownjordan) sits down with our Head Negotiator, Chris (@3rddownchris), to break down how we handle pricing in the shop to ensure both sides leave happy.

We aren't just guessing numbers—we look for the price that makes sense.

In this episode, we cover:

The 'Comp' Trap: Why the last sold eBay price isn't always the full story.
The "Fair" Buffer: How to structure a price that leaves room for negotiation without offending the buyer.
Reputation over Quick Flips: Why a fair deal today is better than squeezing the last penny out of a customer.

Whether you're looking to upgrade your personal collection or trading up, this is how to price with confidence.
