What does it mean to “drip” sports card listings on eBay?

Instead of listing a huge batch all at once, I use Card Dealer Pro to schedule cards to go live throughout the day — one every 20, 30, 40 minutes, or whatever interval I choose.

In this video, I explain what dripping cards is, why I’m experimenting with it, and how I use it in my sports-card business.

I’m documenting the real process of building and running an eBay sports-card business — what works, what doesn’t, and what I learn along the way.

Are Unlicensed Sports Cards Worth Buying? Licensed vs Unlicensed Card Talk

Topps, Bowman, Panini & Leaf: Do Card Licenses Actually Matter?

Unlicensed Sports Cards: Deal Breaker or Overrated Problem?

Some collectors will not touch unlicensed sports cards. Others do not care at all if the card looks good, the player is right, and the price makes sense.

In this video, I’m talking about licensed vs unlicensed sports cards and whether it really matters when you are buying, selling, collecting, or flipping cards.

We’ll talk about brands like Topps, Bowman, Panini, Leaf, and why some collectors prefer licensed cards while others are perfectly fine buying unlicensed cards. Personally, I do not think unlicensed cards are automatically a bad thing. In fact, some of them look better than the licensed cards, especially when the licensed designs start feeling boring or repetitive.

This is not hype. This is real hobby talk.

In this video:

What licensed sports cards actually mean
Why unlicensed cards bother some collectors
Why Panini and Leaf still have a market
Why Topps and Bowman carry more trust for some buyers
Whether unlicensed cards are harder to sell
When I think unlicensed cards are worth buying
What collectors and small sellers should think about before passing on them

Drop a comment and let me know where you stand:

Do you buy unlicensed cards, or are they an automatic no for you?

No hype. Just hobby.

I think I may have a problem? Admitting the problem is the first step, right?

I kept having USPS send back my Armalope and Shell mailers saying they were non-machinable and needed another 49¢, even when there was only ONE card inside.

Meanwhile, I can put up to 12 cards in a regular #10 envelope and they go through with no problem.

So I finally stopped using the specialty card mailers and went back to regular envelopes. Since making the switch, I haven’t had the same issue.

If you sell sports cards using eBay Standard Envelope, have you had this happen with Armalopes, Shell mailers, or other rigid mailers? I’d really like to know if this is happening everywhere or if it depends on the post office.
