Stan from Four Sharp Corners reveals a stack of unbelievable vintage cards from a $1.5M+ eBay auction ending next Sunday.
The episode begins with host Jeff introducing Stan, co-founder of Four Sharp Corners, in their warehouse to preview cards from an upcoming eBay auction. Stan starts with vintage baseball cards, discussing the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, noting its desirability despite a crease, and emphasizing centering as a key factor. They move through football cards like the 1958 Topps Jim Brown and basketball cards, highlighting grading challenges. Stan reveals Four Sharp Corners sells around 40,000 cards per month on eBay, handling all price ranges and graded cards from PSA and Beckett. The conversation shifts to business advice, with Stan recommending new collectors gain expertise through reps and narrow their focus. Roger, the other co-founder, joins to discuss modern and ultra-modern cards, including a 1996 Topps Kobe Bryant NBA 50th parallel and a 2000 Bowman Chrome Tom Brady refractor rookie. Roger explains the consignment process, noting they tailor sales to collector needs and have been on eBay for over 20 years. They cover high-demand players like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Shohei Ohtani, with Ohtani's 2018 Bowman Chrome rookie auto highlighted as a record-setter. The episode includes a Pokemon card and unique memorabilia, like a Michael Jordan game-worn jersey display. It ends with a reminder about the auction ending November 30th and encouragement to check the Four Sharp Corners eBay store.
