Real cards. Real prices. Decisions I’d actually make.
Should you buy that card, sell one you’ve been holding, or send it in for grading? Sometimes the answer is obvious. Other times, it’s a lot closer than you’d think.
Card Decisions is where we dig into actual cards, asking prices, auction results and the little details that can change a decision. I’ll share purchases I’ve made, deals I’d pass on and the reasoning behind both. We’ll also look at when grading or selling makes more sense than simply holding.
No magic formula here. Just the way I think through cards before putting money on the line.
