Welcome to Ballcard Genius

This guide is your starting point to flipping sports cards the “Ballcard Genius way.”

I say that because it isn’t the ONLY way to flip cards. It’s just the approach that has worked for me, and this is why…

My approach isn’t about spending $$$ on the hottest prospect, ripping high-end boxes, or testing luck on breaks. Again, I’m not saying those things are wrong or don’t work—they just don’t work for me.

So, think of this as your playbook for minimizing risk while giving yourself plenty of chances to profit.
