Narrowing your focus is extremely important for sports card investors. To become a successful sports card flipper and consistently make money on sports cards, you can't spread yourself too thin into multiple players at any given time.

If you've listened to the Sports Card Strategy Show often, and taken Sports Card School, you've likely heard me mention the fact that it always makes sense to go back and buy a previous release after a new release comes out - and you've read the Guideline "buy a top player's rookie card 3-4 months after all of their rookie cards have hit the market."

The reason behind this is simple. As more supply of a player's card hits the market and demand stays the same, prices drop.

Each year, a pattern repeats itself for the top football and basketball rookies. When Optic comes out, Prizm prices drop. While people start to chase Optic (the latest release), Prizm's prices drop, but interest isn't lost in Prizm in the longer term, since it's a flagship brand.

Our raw to grade formula-based sports card rankings show that the raw Prizm prices for top players Victor Wembanyama and CJ Stroud have leveled off/dropped a bit.

The data in our weekly Football Card Market and Basketball Card Market Updates still show that these cards are the most transacted (most liquid). Historical data shows the prices of Prizm rise when a league's season starts and spikes when a player performs well.

As such, we examine the best raw to grade opportunities for Wemby and CJ right now!
