Today, more than ever, trading cards are some of the top-rated investments in the world.
Trading Cards now and will forever have a world market that transcends national borders, politics, religions, and race.
Look at the jaw-dropping ROI of a PSA 10 graded Michael Jordan Fleer RC or the same grade for a Tom Brady Bowman Chrome RC from 2017 to 2021.
The return on investment on these cards and dozens of others is simply mind-blowing.
We’re talking 5,000% to 10,000% return on investments on these cards if you purchased them in 2016 and sold them in 2019/2020.
Now we don’t expect those returns to occur anytime again soon. But we do feel high grade, HoF players’ trading cards do make for a solid addition to ETFs and Real Estate in a long-term investment strategy.
Please Note: we have purchased retro video games on a case-by-case basis and consider them an alternative investment as good as trading cards. Please email us at advice@cardprospectus.com in regards to video game investing as it is an entirely different beast vs. sports cards.
Please Note II: we rank our card investments based on ROI (return on investment).
So even though CARD A is worth more than CARD B or let’s say is more popular among collectors we still prefer investing in CARD B if the ROI of that card is greater.
We recommend that 1 to 10% of your investment portfolio be dedicated to high-end trading cards. 10 to 20% cash. 80% stock/ETFs.
