Why Paying Over Card Comps Can Be an Advantage

If the last sale was $100, they won't pay $110, even if the card has $250 of upside. That mindset costs you opportunities to win in the card market. In this video, I break down exactly when I pay over comps and why it's often the right move. After 20 years of card investing, I've learned that comps only tell you what happened - they don't tell you what a card is actually worth right now or where it's headed. We'll walk through three situations where overpaying makes sense: grading arbitrage opportunities, dramatically undervalued players, and rare cards you only get one shot at. I share real examples, including how I bought every available copy of an undervalued card for two months straight until the market caught up. You'll learn how to evaluate both past sales and future upside instead of being handcuffed by recent comps. If you want to make smarter buying decisions and stop losing opportunities over a few dollars, this framework may help.
