In today's video, I'll be taking a look at the Victor Wembanyama rookie card market, and exploring where it's headed in the future. What can you do to maximize your cards value, predict future performance, and help you avoid mistakes down the road. We take a look at pricing on his Prizm, Select, Donruss, and Hoops rookie cards raw and graded. This applies to all rookie cards across baseball, football, and basketball including other top rookies like Scoot Henderson, Brandon Miller, Keyonte George, Jamie Jaquez, and Ausar and Amen Thompson.

Or....or....you advise people to be true collectors instead of telling them to "sell sell sell early!!!". Flippers are hobby cancer. The flipper mcdingleberry math: spent 1k, hit a 500 card, sell it, end up w/ no pc card and -500. Then convince yourself you made a "solid business decision". :)

I don't know any flipper that's ripping wax. Generally, flippers are focused on the singles or raw to grade market.

@eNgaGe87 Ай бұрын

@@huxbux fair enough, flipping wasn't the right term to use. But, the idea behind my post is the same. If you think of this in a financial direction, you're advising people to gamble instead of invest. This is a hobby, it should be about fun first, money last. Telling people to rip for a big card just to sell, is the same thing as telling a gambler to keep feeding a slot machine. And the outcome will always be the same: they'll end up w/ empty pockets, since just like a gambler, a person who hit and sold a big card won't stop and take the money. They'll think they can hit another huge one, rip more product, and get a bunch of Dinwiddie cracked ice parallels. All I'm saying is, promote building collections, not selling to make a few bucks(then losing it anyways).

If Wemby lives up to his promise and brings the spurs multiple championships and becomes one of the best players in basketball and multiple all star selections, then whoever has held onto the numbered cards and parallels and such will be sitting on a small fortune. So my thinking personally is I am going to store the Wemby’s I have away for the next ten years and see what comes of his future. Long-term investment I am thinking for him.

@huxbux 21 күн бұрын

For me it's either that or sell at a peak time before/during the season. I'll probably do a little of both. May the man be great!

@gameinformationpokertheory Ай бұрын

Yes, this has been the case since 2017 when the Sportscards Hobby became more popular. Every year Panini, Topps and Upper Deck produced more cards (Additional sets with more Parallels on top of printing more copies.). Only during the pandemic did you prices increase as sets were delayed in production. Going forward it should get worse - massive oversupply from slowing demand. Higher interest rates meant lower demand for collectibles, but the manufacturers continued to print even more products. The economy should improve and inflation should decline eventually - delayed buying could be an Optimal Strategy. Using information of market trends like what you presented here, why not start buying Players in there 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th year or beyond…buy once a Player establishes themselves. Anthony Edwards RCs are cheaper today than his Rookie season. Lots of listings for Ant-man now…this is just one example. Plenty of opportunities everywhere each year in all the Sports. 🏀 🏈⚾️🤓

@huxbux Ай бұрын

Agreed. The optimal time to buy a rookie card, I think is in year 2 or 3. NBA rookies take years to fully develop.

@CerMaek Ай бұрын

I guess this is only applicable in the US where supply is abundant. But different story here in the Philippines. You see dip in value/prices of course lately but you almost can't see supply especially for high value boxes/cards of Wemby. I agree to sell high, but remember that you can't just buy them back especially if you are living in a 3rd world country like Philippines. More power Huxbux though!

It's a normal cycle, yes. I haven't looked at the data, but a comparison in price fluctuation between Wemby and other touted rookies within the first 6 months of release would be useful. Maybe I should have done that. 🤔 And the title is a bit of clickbait. 😬

@benz6323 No problem. To put it into perspective, Luka base Prizm rookies PSA 10, pre playoffs, were selling low to mid $200s. If Luka wins a championship those def stay where they are now at high $200s, low $300. So you're banking on the best case scenario to 2x your money. But I think his base price will continue to fall due to over supply. Another fun fact. There are 20k Luka base PSA 10s. There's already 10k Wembys not even 6 months into the release. Just food for thought. The decision is ultimately yours.
