Shares, stock exchange funds and real estate are some common assets that make up a diverse investment portfolio. Now, it seems that investors add trading cards to that portfolio.

According to JemerrateThe four main cases of trading cards were estimated at more than 20 million cards in 2024, which is 16% growth compared to last year.

In the last episode of the Sports Report of the Sports Report of Yahoo Finance, Ryan Hodeau explained how the rapidly growing sphere during the epidemic has now become the main part of the liquid assets of some investors. .

“I think we are waiting for another strong year,” said the Spirit (see the video above or listen below). “The fourth quarter of 2024 ended with a very strong note. We have seen continuous growth in both the units and the entrance of new customers, compared to the previous one. And we think these trends continue [to] Continue because more people start collecting or collecting again. “

PSA is a company that authenticates trading cards, assessing them based on their rarity and condition. Its process uses a combination of artificial intellect and human identification, to allow collectors and investors how much a separate trading card costs.

The company “protects and preserves the card in a secure cupboard and adds additional liquidity, taking into account the scarcity of the cards,” Hoge explained. “Obviously, the higher the score, the more rare it is and is usually so more valuable, and therefore easier to make transactions in the markets like Ebay.”

The trading card market lived in the epidemic. At some point, Hoge said that PSA received about 13 million trading cards as part of its deferred amount for making the company grow up to meet the growing demand.

Along with the growth of the market card market, the purchase and sale services also increased. These days, potential collectors and investors do not need to find a place in their homes to keep their cards, as they are waiting for their value. For example, PSA has a folder that allows investors to keep their cards with the company. It is also integrated with eBay (:EBay) Allow collectors to easily sell their shares as certain card prices rise.

“Suppose the player leaves, holds a wonderful game and you want to get [their card] Listed – Explained the Spirit. – You can list it that night, it will be sold immediately, and then we actually care about performance and recycling. So it’s more sales without contact, and you can time to market. “

Such options have made trading cards active even for those who are not large collectors.

Hoge said that those who want to enter the market should pay attention to the newcomers, especially for NBA, as Fanatics assumes a business card license.

“Many people want to make assumptions about the new player, maybe they will have a wonderful next season,” said Peace. “So they load, and then when they start to warm up, they want to make some profit from them [cards]”
