KICK-OFF

Understanding Marketing Cycles

Sports card values follow predictable patterns:

1. Initial Release: Cards start with high prices due to excitement.

2. Price Crash: Values drop as the initial hype fades.

3. Stabilization: Prices level out, creating a potential buying opportunity.

4. Appreciation: Values may rise again, especially as the sports season approaches.

Using Data to Spot Trends

Utilizing tools like Market Movers can help you visualize these trends. Here's what to look for:

Price Flatlining: When a card's value stabilizes after the initial drop, it may be a good time to buy.

Upward Trends: Look for cards that are beginning to appreciate after stabilization.

Case Studies

Let's examine some real-world examples:

Keonte George (Utah Jazz)

• Initial Price: ~$130

• Flatline Price: ~$60-$70

• Current Price: ~$80-$90

Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs)

• Initial Price: ~$2,400

• Flatline Price: ~$800

• Current Price: ~$1,100

Potential Investment Opportunity

Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets)

• Current Situation: Price has stabilized around $100

• Potential: As a young player on an exciting team, there's room for growth

Pro Tips

• Buy during the off-season when prices are lower.

• Consider purchasing raw cards and getting them graded for additional value.

• Look for cards that have flattened in price but have the potential for future hype.

• Always factor in a margin of safety when buying.

Remember, while these strategies can be effective, they're not guaranteed. Always do your own research and invest responsibly.

Stay tuned for our next edition, where we'll explore more advanced techniques for sports card investing!
