In 2020, over ten cards sold at public auction for more than $500,000 with one of those cards selling for nearly $4 million, the highest sports card ever sold. The value of sports cards has grown over the last decade and with the onset of the pandemic, values exploded. With prices so high and card companies aware of their past mistakes, Wall Street and Silicon Valley see investment opportunities in this alternative asset.
Sports card collecting is having a moment not seen since the 1970s and 1980s. This year saw sales of sports cards at public auction reach all-time highs. Over ten cards sold for $500,000 or more. Two basketball cards sold for $1.8 million each, a Lebron James rookie card and a Giannis Antetokounmpo rookie card. 2020 also saw a 2009 Mike Trout baseball card sell at auction for a record-breaking $3.84 million.
Interest in collecting and values have seen a steady uptick for the last decade with prices really starting to rise at quicker rate somewhere around 2016 or 2017. With the onset of the pandemic at the beginning of this year, card collecting reached new heights. Largely driven by those in their 30s and 40s, who collected when they were young, these individuals found themselves at home revisiting their card collections.
Then came ESPN's release of the Michael Jordan documentary series, "The Last Dance." Auction houses and eBay saw a surge for Michael Jordan cards and memorabilia followed by an even greater interest in basketball cards and beyond.
"It brought back nostalgia. It brought back memories of the greatness of Michael Jordan and his cards and memorabilia started going up. And in our industry, it is definitely a case where rising tides lifts all boats," Ken Goldin, founder and CEO of Goldin Auctions, told CNBC.
With sports cards growing in value, many collectors are amassing collections of high value as part of a diversified investment portfolio. What separates this era from the previous is the recognition that these cards are a legitimate alternative asset. A Silicon Valley startup, Alt, founded by Leore Avidar, aims to bring clarity and security to alternative assets, specifically sports cards.
Collectors and investors see a bright future for sports cards. Card companies are well aware of their past mistakes and collectors have more information than ever before. If growth continues, Leore Avidar believes records will continue to be broken.
"I will say, we will see our first ten million dollar card in the next two years," says Avidar.

We are already in a big crash Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

The very first card PSA ever graded was found several years later to be altered by the guy who owned it. But yeah, some collectors believe in that crap. I suppose for vintage cards thst may matter, but some folks sending brand new rookie cards, and sometimes non rookie cards of star players in for grading. High grades for these cards aren't hard to get, and some already have thousands of graded copies, meaning they'll never carry the value of their pre-grading era counterparts, even if the player becomes HOF material.

Good investments over time dont go through fad periods of consumerism. This is why the sports card industry had a bust period between the 80s-early 90s boom and this one.

You should have reported on the incompetence, favoritisms, and straight corruption in the grading companies. Cards being purchased graded, cracked open and trimmed and altered then resubmitted for higher grades to boost profits. That’s the whole purpose of these companies, to authenticate and grade. Or where the FBI investigation in these matters currently stands. A graded card compared to a non graded card can fluctuate price from hundreds to thousands. But does the average collector have the same high grades chance as those that are in the “club”. Or maybe a story bout how long it takes for them to grade the avg Joes cards (6 months plus ) compared to others who bulk submit all the time and are in the club. I would like to see a story on these topics.

Ive been collecting baseball/basketball/football and hockey packs/boxes/cases since 1976. I could not even venture a guess how many cards, unopened boxes and cases I have. One bedroom is filled floor to ceiling. They are not as valuable as they used to be. Now it will cost you a small fortune to even buy a box of "premier" packs whereas before Upper Deck and the mid 90 market flooding, it was still inexpensive. My collection was probably worth 25% more pre-1995/96ish. The unopened packs and boxes are where the money is. Fresh sealed wax packs still with factory seals get me the highest offers from dealers/collectors when they find out what I have.

Baseball cards nowadays (or better yet, _basketball and football_ cards) are a good investment just so long as you study a particular scouting report and decide when exactly to flip that player's card. For instance, November and December have always been the worst months to sell for profit, while the beginning of Spring training (i.e. March/April) has usually been one of the better times to sell. EDIT: There are actually so many other variables to list as far as when to sell, including when a player is in the middle of a hot streak or when they've reached their athletic prime (usually around ages 26-28) and so forth. And also, deciding which brand type to invest in (such as Topps flagship, Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome, etc.) could also play a huge factor as well.

The company's greed didn't destroy anything. The public's greed did. Cards during the junk wax era weren't overproduced, as dealers bought them from the companies. They were overhoarded by people who took a blind eye to the laws of supply and demand. Factory sealed sets and 50 count lots of rookie cards don't accrue much value when everybody does it and some folks get bored and start dumping stuff. The same is going to happen to these people holding graded slabs of Zion, Luka and Mahomes, even if they have HOF caliber careers.

If something was made to be collected they will never be worth anywhere near the cards that were made several decades ago. Back then most ppl didn’t really think they were worth anything so as a result most were thrown away or destroyed over time that’s why they cost so much money.

not sure I really buy it, pun intended. Only the very high priced cards seem to be going up. I keep a ledger of all the cards I purchased on ebay back in 2012 (such as Earl Campbell RC PSA 8), etc. They haven't gone up by that much, only the super rare insert cards are going up. When you compare the growth of the sp500 vs those buys, sp500 did substantially better. Besides under-performing the sp500, another problem with sports cards is, they only go up in value while the player is known, over time even very famous players are nobodies to most people and the value of their card goes down substantially. Then again, I mostly avoided any card older than 1989. I never saw the appeal of sticking a piece of jersey on a card, only putting 25 of them in circulation and expecting people to either want to hit the lottery or shell out 1k$ for a piece of cardboard that doesn't appreciate as fast as other asset classes. My suggestion is, if you really want a card to appreciate over time - pick a 100% mint card that is very rare and a very very well known player. A player a non-sports fan would know who they were 10 years after the person retires. Also its position specific. For example, in football Quarterbacks - ignore all other positions. But then comes the problem of keeping the 'investment' in mint condition. Card's can decline over time even in those PSA protected plastics.

I collected baseball, football and basketball cards in the 90s. All gone. Those things ended up being worth nothing in the end. It's easy to say a card is word millions, but there has to be a buyer and nobody buys cards like they did before, that's why the generation after mine stopped collecting. They went onto non-sports card collecting like Pokemon (which I was into too). Today, unlike sports cards, rare Pokemon cards and booster pack boxes actually sell.

Mark my words, the Formula 1 Topps Chrome Hobby Box will be going for $1000 USD by the end of next year and continue to go up. The first cards for Lewis Hamilton (one of the most famous athletes on the planet), Max Verstappen, Lando Norris. This will be like Panini Prizm 2012 Basketball.......this is the exact same product for F1 fans.......that box is going for over $6000 USD right now and that doesn't even have the European market driving up the prices. Whoever reads this, enjoy the low prices while you can! I was talking with some of the workers at Topps and Panini who I deal with on a daily basis and they are saying the same thing as me. The Formula 1 Topps Chrome Hobby Box will be a product where people say this in 5 years, "I wish I bought 10 of those boxes when they came out".
