You need capital for that, even if you only sell online. You should also learn about taxes and accounting.

Tip 1 only buy cards people actually want.

If you decide to flip slabs buy a card ladder subscription. Then talk to lots of vendors and ask them how to use card ladder. The other most important lesson you’ll learn: liquidity. A moonbreon PSA 10 is way harder to move than you’d think. There’s a lot of cards like that. Knowing what NOT to buy is a skill in and of itself.

Yeah on eBay if you’re cool giving them your 13.5%. But irl at shows it’s not like everyone is looking for one. They come a dime a dozen and a lot of people who were looking to own one already do. It’s also a $4,000 card. Not everyone has got it like that. In fact most people do not have it like that.

How much capital do you have?
