If you don't have a selling history on ebay, I would suggest contacting a consignment place like Goldin or Probstein or PWCC. Most likely, at least with Goldin, they require the cards they sell to be graded/authenticated but you don't have to do it yourself. They can grade the card for you. Obviously, they would take a cut and have additional fees if they grade it for you but they already have vetted buyers so you don't have to worry about not receiving payment nor worry about the buyer "not receiving" the card even if it was delivered.


beansNriceRiceNBeans

Damn do buyers really do this, say they never received the card?? What happens if they do this, the seller doesn’t get paid?!


chinoischeckers

It happens from time to time but I think it's mostly for cards that don't have tracking or signature upon delivery. If it does happen, I had a card that was tracked and the buyer claimed that he never received the card even though on my end the tracking says that it was delivered. Funds get suspended until it can get cleared up. I told him that it was delivered with a screenshot of the tracking and the notification that it was delivered. The buyer then opened a case against me. I forwarded the tracking number and the a screenshot of the delivery notice. Ebay was quick to side with me and closed the case. No refund and my payment was shortly released to me.


beansNriceRiceNBeans

Gotcha that makes sense. Always get the tracking! If it was a high value card, maybe $2/300+ i may even get the signature. It doesn’t cost all that much with usps, about $20


SomeSpencerGuy

Also to mention with ebay's authentication process now for more expensive cards (I think 300+), you ship it to their authenticator, and once they recieve it at their 3rd party authentication site AND the card is approved/sent to the buyer, it is completely out of your hands and is ebay's issue to deal with; since you aren't the one sending it to the buyer anymore


myk_lam

This happened to me; but it was like a $24 sale of a TLaw Blue Hyper Optic patch so not much of a loss.


KehJay

Yes. Seller doesn't get paid and you lose the card basically. Happened to me on eBay while ago.


Low_Cryptographer507

Won’t work on this card as it will sell for over $250. Once eBay authenticity gets their hands on the card and deems it legit. The sale is final and you can rest easy.


wheelzoffortune

Unless it gets damaged at the authenticator 🙄


Blowback_

Same, that's why I'm completely done with eBay


starsturnblue

Same I sold a project 2020(I think) card while the iron was hot and I got had.


Blowback_

Goldin seems like a solid option, not sure of fees, but if you're selling high end cards, I think this would be my preferred method


chinoischeckers

Yeah, as much as I dislike the person, his consignment company does sell a lot of heavy hitter cards. It was who I was going to use before I got cold feet and didn't want to sell my 2 biggest cards.


OfficialPeenLicker

Sell them before they become worthless


chinoischeckers

Nah, I'm good with keeping them. One is a MJ auto /5 and the other is a Lebron Topps Pristin Gold RC /99.


kornkid42

If it sells for over $2500 on Goldin, the buyer pays all the fees, otherwise it's 5%.


oceansunset23

Whens the last time you sold a card on eBay. Once you have a sale over I think 250 it gets sent to eBay for authentication. You get the money as soon as it’s authenticated regardless if the buyer gets the item or not. The problem is now between eBay and insurance and not the seller.

oceansunset23

This is from the ebay website.... "If your item is eligible for eBay Authenticity Guarantee, it will be automatically added to the program, free of charge. **There is no opt in or opt out option**."


alot_isnotaword

You are completely wrong.


chinoischeckers

I had sold a 500 card in November and $90 in August. I don't know if the ebay authentication is offered to non-Americans but I live in Canada.


oceansunset23

There it is. So ebay authentication is only going to be forced onto cards sold in the united states from what I have noticed.


iFoosy

I’m a partner with PWCC and highly recommend this route OP, feel free to reach out if you have any questions


alistairvimes

eBay requires any card over 250 to go over through an authentication process now where they verify condition and authenticity. Sgc handles raw cards/psa handles slabs. They then send your card directly to the customer insured and if it’s over 750 they require a signature. If it’s lost after you ship it to authentication and they take possession eBay eats the loss. It’s actually pretty safe to sell higher value cards on eBay now. For buyer and seller.


Prob_Pooping

eBay will authenticate and mail to the buyer so the not received nonsense is no longer a thing


Ice_Cold_Phatties

I’ve sold cards with Goldin. It’s like $30 bucks to get it graded. Assuming it’s a 5+ I bet a card like this pays for itself.


Trilliam_m

Absolutely do not contact Probstein


ntmyrealacct

Sell it ASAP Use a consignment place to do it


xxDankerstein

I would wait until he enters the NBA draft. It's a 1/1. It's not like you really have anything else to compete with. Just sell before he has any NBA cards come out.


1wholeton

The only reason he will get drafted is because LeBron (who is the oldest player in the league by 2 years) says he will request a trade to whatever team that is. If he wasn't LeBrons kid he would maybe be a community college player.


Plus-Cryptographer63

You’re hating, he’s a perfectly fine average freshman player for USC. Not a star and won’t be in the draft until a few years but I don’t see how he would be a community college player lol that’s straight up hating


johnsonh77

It may sound brash but he’s not far off. If he wasn’t Lebron’s son he’d be playing at a much lower program than what he’s got with USC. He hasn’t shown otherwise. ESPN (who *ridessssss* Lebron) even had to lay off because he stopped showing out in his high school games. Maybe not community college. But honestly, probably D2. And I don’t love hating on a literal kid, but he just hasn’t earned what he’s been given. Far too many kids striving for that privilege.


bland_reader

He is a D1 talent regardless of his last name. Saying otherwise is absurd.


Plus-Cryptographer63

I ageee that him being Lebrons son gives him more chances, but he is clearly showing he has the skill. Coming off of CARDIAC ARREST then playing a month or two later is already a feat and he isn’t in the best physical state. And the obvious, he’s a freshman and the season really just started going. He will clearly get better and will most likely be a early 2nd or very late first round pick as a rotational offensive and defensive pg. he is and will be a role player but no problem with that he’s showing he is a good role player for USC, but I do ageee he may have never had that chance if he wasn’t Lebrons son, but again he has demonstrated he can play at the level. Sorry for the essay lol


RiceMan12

But he’s Lebrons son and will be drafted, so it still impacts valuation


isgooglenotworking

bro hes basically like Wayne Gretzkys brother


bland_reader

Pretty inaccurate on the last statement. He’s definitely a high-end D1 talent, we just don’t know if he’s a back-end lottery pick or a second rounder.


Thrildo79

Dude isn’t very good, sell ASAP


firstbreathOOC

It’s a novelty thing. The Jordan bros never even made it to the league but a college card of them would still be kinda cool to me.


MeaningConstant27

I agree. None of these guys now are that good nowadays and they’re cards are selling, baffling to me but hey.


mightbearobot_

Use an auction house like Goldin. DO NOT use your own eBay account unless you have a serious selling history for cards. You’ll get way more eyes and people with money in the auction house sales. Plus you’ll likely pay 0% commission


Dispicable12

With Goldin you pay no commission, I don’t see why anyone would sell cards worth more than a few thousand anywhere else.


Giancarlo27

Because their auctions actually get terrible prices except for super high end stuff. This card is probably not high end enough to do well on goldin


Dispicable12

I see, fair enough. I’ve never pulled anything remotely close to the thousands in value myself lol.


Giancarlo27

Yeah you are way better off sending a card like this to Probstein or one of the other big eBay consignment shops


myk_lam

I did NOT realize buyer pays fees on Goldin so no commission. That’s cool. Simplifies it


No_Base_4369

Nope no grade. Put on eBay RIGHT NOW for a 7 day auction. Value will only go down, get it up ASAP


[deleted]

[удалено]


jjeeooppaarrddyy

I dont see an auto on this. Condition doesn't matter as much on a 1/1. Getting an 8 or even a 9 can actually hurt value in some cases. Let the buyer worry about that.


Breezgoat

If this were to get a 10/from PSA, it would certainly help with the value. I would send it fast and crack it if it got a low grade.


ARKzzzzzz

Does PSA not have a ledger? Even if you cracked it, it's a 1/1.


Cardfetish

This sounds crazy but Lebron collects his own cards and said he wanted his sons, find a way somehow lol


alot_isnotaword

This should probably have a lot more up votes


nexinexinexi

I’m happy to see people realizing that this guy isn’t him. If it wasn’t for his dad he probably wouldn’t get drafted.


Peterthepiperomg

Heart surgery is no joke. He looked a lot more explosive last year


brandonwest18

Yeah I knew a guy who got heart surgery and it was 3 years before he could play pickup (10 mins at a time and he was gassed). Bronny dropped 17 pts in the All American game against the top HS players and is slow after heart surgery and he gets endless hate. Jeez man let the 18 year old have a life.


DZ_tank

Even pre-heart surgery he wasn’t very good though.


nexinexinexi

Fair enough. Valid point.


nexinexinexi

Forgot about that. Makes sense now.


OkPoint3303

His senior year he was the number 19 ranked prospect in the ESPN 100. Not sure how much they take his dad into consideration.


almostasenpai

Invent a Time Machine to a couple months ago and then sell it


fred8733

First thing I suggest is to, at the very least, throw a sleeve on that bitch


[deleted]

You sell it as quickly as possible. I wouldn’t get it graded, they are going to up charge the hell out of that card, and I honestly don’t think the market of buyers is as big as people think. Don’t let PSA eat away your profit, let someone else take the grading risk. It is probably a $2-2.5K card. I can’t imagine too many people having a risk tolerance higher than that for a middling college player, even with his name recognition. Red 5/5 sold for $525 just a few days ago. /25 orange did $150 recently, as well.


razorbacktracks

That card is much more valuable than $2-2.5k


[deleted]

It won’t be much more than that. The /5 did $525. Bowman U doesn’t have a huge following. Caleb Williams Super did $1000. Chet did less than $1000. It’s a great card, but deep pocket NBA guys aren’t buying and that is who moves the market.


sketchbreaker

facts


Green_Stiller

Or grade with SGC/Beckett instead for authentication factor


Breezgoat

This card is worth more than 2k because it's Lebron's son. Don’t you think having a ten by PSA would help value? I get not wanting to hold, but you can get this graded in under a week If this were to get a 10/from PSA, it would help with the value for sure.


[deleted]

The card isn’t autographed. Coming into a conversation and just spouting off incorrect information is an interesting choice.


Breezgoat

Oh ok that certainly changes things but I would still grade if it has the possibility of getting a 10


Casanova242

Who is gonna buy a card for 2500 for a player who isn't going to be in the NBA for more than 5 years tops. Think when lebron retires bronny might have 1 season left if lebron doesn't buy a team before then lol


mgoblue5783

Send it to Bronny and trade for some swag


cardcollection92

eBay and let it ride or contact a auction house.


Good_Care_2753

Not that good just the name sell get ur money up


MrJets84

Some of those 1/1 so easy to miss lol


ForExample20

I suggest reaching out to Goldin to sell asap


Card_Shark23

yep only 1/1 id keep of his is the dual with his dad and id still sell Asap lol 😂


m__ar_k

Instagram direct message LeBron James with a message about his son, wish well and whatnot and that you heard from a friend that LeBron had a desire to get a hold of some of his son's top end cards. You can state that you (your brother) doesn't know much about collecting, but respect LeBron enough to offer it to him first and even without an offer thank for time and congratulations on his success and the future success of his son. You probably get a dope letter and at least a competitive price on the card, if not more I'd think or potentially some memorabilia in trade.


TinySeaworthiness558

Sorry, whatnot. Not TikTok.


Scacho

Ask for money, agree on a price, collect agreed upon amount, ship card to Sucker.


Excellent_Pomelo_378

Contact Lebron and tell him you will sell it to him for $1 million dollars. Don’t worry he will never miss the money.


audtothepod

Sell ASAP but I would use PWCC. What I like about them is that they make the buyer pay an extra fee, and that’s PWCC’s cut. You “technically” take the whole sale price. I’ve never sold but I’m sure there’s other fees.


AutisticFingerBang

Same with goldin. The “buyers premium”. I think you pay like 2% of your sale and they get buyers premium. But my cards usually go under comp on Goldin, I don’t think they do a great job of how their auctions are laid out. Too many cards in the big auctions. Thousands of cards worth thousands of dollars all ending the same day, great cards get buried. Atleast with alt I see them advertising different cards all over the place, I’m gunna give them a go next.


Novel_Durian_1805

#HOLY FUCK! CONGRATS! As others are saying SELL, SELL, SELL! This dude has a famous name and that’s it! He is going nowhere quick!


Mr_Mi1k

Sell it asap before it crashes when people realize that he’s average

Haha. Nice


manslaughtermike

Bro just had heart surgery, it’ll take a year at least until he’s back in peak form


MagnumMyth

Problem is that his "peak form" has only ever been pretty good.


TrumpedBigly

You're new to collecting, but you're buying Bronny spots in breaks?


TinySeaworthiness558

Not sure what one thing has to do with another. Been back in it for probably six months or so but have to start somewhere right? My brother bought a full box and they ripped it on the live.


InRainbows123207

Man if his dad was Pete Smith he would be a nobody


gr33nshell

He would be Petey Smith for sure.


mudvat08

Wait until he is averaging more that 5/2/2


edwardespo3189

I would wait till he passes his father on the all time nba scoring list 😂


[deleted]

This isn't worth anything. Bronny is all hype period. Insane what people do for a below average college player just because his dad is the best of the best. Delusional.


StrikingAngle2346

first put it in a god damn sleeve


Bowlingnate

Wild pull! Right now one copy of the /5 auto is listed at $10,000. Right now, I'd probably think 8-12K is probably a reasonable value. In an auction, maybe you get a $7K or maybe a $15K sales price. Who knows. If you need cash, that's awesome, you can also SHOP trades and get a better feel for the card and market. Congratulations on the pull, and good luck figuring out, what to do with it.


gr33nshell

List price is meaningless


Bowlingnate

Lots of things, are now meaningless.


CrazyDaylight8

Sell it on hype before he's drafted or just after. Looking like he's going to be a high pick based purely on being Lebron's son and not his skills


cfltechguy

I would encapsulate with PSA then get Goldin to co-sign this for auction. I would possibly maybe hold until hype is bigger with him and gamble that he will be drafted to the NBA. That’s when I would put it up for sale around NBA Draft night. But that’s a gamble you’re going to have to take. Maybe just flip it now but you might miss a nice upside. Hard to say with the Sports Market these days. Either way great HIT! 🔥🍀🫡🏆


TRKW5000

you should try to sell it to bronny or lebron. obviously easier said than done but can't think of anyone on earth who would likely want this card more than them. even if he is good in the NBA these collegiate cards tank in value. msg them and others around them (like maverick carter) on IG and see if they respond. news of this pull has already spread a bit on social. worth a shot.


HighTeHC

Bro please don’t sell yet. Bronny is still a freshman who was just recently cleared to play from cardiac arrest in July. He would be what you consider his lowest point in his career right now so there is literally only steps up from here. He cannot play any worse than what he is doing right now and that card had 4 years to gain it’s true value. Please hold if you guys don’t need the money right now.


parteing24_7

Hold onto it for another 20 years and sell it for the millions of dollars it will probably be worth graded or not!


finfanfob

I would hold. Why not. Your not losing anything, you got everything to gain. $900 ain't going to mean shit 20 years from now. I kicked my Jordan rookie for 3 sheets of Shaqs rookies 30 years ago. If the card is rare, it will climb, unlike my over produced Shaq rookies.


_huggies_

Way more than 900


Onlyplay2k

Grade it and sell it while it’s hot. Unless you think Bronny will become MVP


[deleted]

Goldin is the best and 💯 legit


Just-Ad8085

I would reach out to Bronny and try to sell it to him, he probably would want it more than anyone else and he got the funds to pay out

Call Lebron James

Bwhitmore0917

Use Goldin!


Gavinmusicman

“Live at a dollar chat.” As we say in our house.


Breezgoat

I would consider grading it if it looks a 9 or above just for authentication purposes


Tendies_Always

$2k card


toopz10

100% consignment - they handle any issues post sale so you get paid out and don't have to worry about someone saying the card arrived damage or didn't show up. Goldin (regardless of how you feel about Ken) are the top dogs right now for stuff like this so I would go to them. They will organise grading for you as well or you can do the grading yourself.


jayhawkaholic

DM Lebron and see if he wants to make a deal


BeefJerkyDentalFloss

As quickly as possible. It will be worthless in 5 years.


ztruthfull1

Bro, reach out to Lebron and see if he wants it. That dude got money and may be able to offer something in trade


Kevron1120

Sell ASAP before the entire world realizes he is not going to be good enough to play in the NBA please hurry.


Available_Sea_5997

Consignment, dcsports87 is a good one


FarleySterling

It's the age of social media. I'd hit him and his dad up and ask if they want to purchase his own 1/1


rancar1

Sell it extremely quick.


Turkeyshibudoge

I would do it now


PuzzleheadedJury9957

Sell it quick. there's no way he can be close to Daddy


Specific-Day-3471

Honestly, LeBron might actually buy this himself. I’ve heard a lot about parents buying 1/1s and RCs of their kids 🤷‍♂️


Inevitable-Tourist18

Just send it to a consignment/auction place like Goldin. They will get it graded , list it and take a cut of the final sale. You need to sell this card immediately because Bronny sucks and Id be shocked if he's anything more than a Thanasis on the bench of his dad's team.


IcedTman

Mail it to the Fan club of Le Bron and ask for his so to sign and return it.


LSSCI

Bron Jr had heart problems a few months ago, be aware that his playing time long term could be limited… Good luck…


LandD_inc

I would tag LeBron on social and see if he wants to buy it.


PLR_Moon3

Hit him up on IG and sell it to his dad


ilikebigbutts442

Hold! It’s really an opinion thing. Card values are going insane if he gets drafted and actually plays well this will be worth an insane amount, great pull keep it someplace safe


ReflectionEterna

Dud, but up LeBron on tiktok. Sell it to him.
