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.
Marcus Rashford
The Reward
Marcus Rashford MBE is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team. He is known for his attacking, dribbling, composure, and athleticism. Rashford is on one of the hottest streaks in all of soccer right now, having scored 13 goals since the World Cup. Which ranks him 1st among Europes 5 leagues in that time span! Rashford became the youngest English soccer player to score in his 1st Senior International Match in 2016.
The Risk
Rashford started off his career with high expectations. From 2019 to 2022 Rashford has had a rash of injuries. Many observers also thought he looked like he had lost his form. Then came COVID and a shortened season. He struggled to find his form again. In 2022 he got a new coach Erik ten Hag who believed in him. He began the season employing Rashford at both Centre-Forward and Left Winger. In his 1st 2 matches of the year Rashford matched his scoring and assist totals from the previous year against Liverpool and Arsenal. In October Rashford scored his 100th goal becoming only the 22nd player to achieve that for United. December was a roller coaster for Rathford as he extended his contract by 1 year and then later in the month was punished for over sleeping and being late for a team meeting. He has started on 2023 showing his old form and wreaking havoc on his opponents once again. Can Rashford continue his hot streak or will he return to his poor form and fade away like he did from 2019-2022?
