If you know what your doing and you act at the right time this can work somewhat.

The way I do it is get the hot or rookie cards graded and try to move them. The problem is a card that books for $100 might only auction for $10. You can do better out of an ebay store but it requires some level or risk and a chunk of money to start out.

I have had several hundred modern cards graded with the specific purpose of doing what you are talking about. I do also enjoy some of the modern players and cards so it isn't totally for profit.

It's tricky and you have to know what to buy and sell and what to sell it for. There isn't any good guide on most modern graded cards and prices on ebay can be all over the place.

That being said I have pissed away and invested more money then I will probably ever get out.

I would say try and buy smaller lots of specific players rather then packs or boxes.
