Our Investing Thesis
The hobby is huge. There is a ton of temptation and FOMO. It's easy to become undisciplined and sloppy in pursuit of making money investing in sports cards.
Our sports card investing thesis is three fold.
1. Don't Chase. The way to make money investing in Sports Cards is NOT to chase the hot players or cards, but to have the ability to identify the NEXT hottest player BEFORE their card prices take off.
2. Stay In The Game. Since each player has a countless amount of cards, it's necessary to stay disciplined in identifying and purchasing cards that will have the ability to rise in value. Go Low / Mid Risk as much as possible. Everyone wants the big names. If the price is already high, then the upside is already baked in. Buy the dip on either the card, the player or both. Have reasonable expectations. Not every card will yield a profit, but overall, if you stay in the game, you should make 20% over the long haul.
3. Be Set Up To Sell. The most overlooked part of profiting in sports card investing is actually being set up to sell your cards. This includes acquiring cards that are frequently transacted, so as to instill confidence in your future buyer by being able to show consistent sales comps. We're not saying not to acquire short prints and variations, but if you're looking to make an ROI quickly, these aren't always the best cards.
There are two windows. The long term window and the flippable window. The long term window is when you believe a player has a season or more of relevant potential "moments" ahead. The flippable window is when a player actually never has to perform well on the field or court, but only has to generate enough "hype" to see an increase in card value.
We know that our background of professional sports front office work and player scouting, high stakes fantasy sports expertise, digital content creation and sales will make our Sports Card Investment Report a critical piece in your pursuit of positive ROI on your Sports Card Investments.

The Reward
What an exciting time for Yankees fans and Aaron Judge collectors. The phenom is a beast of a baseball player, and in 2022 we saw what this man is capable of. He has been the best player on a team with the biggest market for a long time.
He enters the 2023 MLB Season after signing a nine-year $360 million contract with the Yankees. The reward is not just another MVP-caliber season, but one capped off with a World Series title and Series MVP award.
If he continues multiple seasons of these 60+ home runs, we could see him climb the all-time list very quickly. He is currently 120 home runs from the top 100 all-time. We can see him very high on this list when his career ends.
The Risk
The Blue Jays and Rays will have much to say about the Yankees even winning the East this year, and Judge is not getting any younger. The 30-year-old is likely going into the Yankee into Monument Park when his Yankee career is over. Thus we see Judge as a long-term value stash.
