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
While it may seem like a huge let down to his card value that the Vikings were upset by the Giants in the Super Wild Card Round and their phenomenal 2022 season is now over, the reality is that Kirk Cousins will enter 2023 with more job security and respect than ever before, and he is still the starting QB for a Minnesota Vikings team that will have every opportunity to make a run in 2023.
Oh yeah, and he will still be throwing the ball to Justin Jefferson.
Maybe the size of the chip on Kirk's shoulder will grow and he'll lead the Vikings further in 2023.
The Risk
While others are buying Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, Kirk could once again become the forgotten man, and even though it presents a decent buying opp, there won't be much upside for his cards unless he really does something more spectacular in 2023 than he did in 2022. Can he follow it up?
