90,000 Nearly $2 million for an autographed card - is that normal? A new way to make money on sports
In the era of digitalization, when one of the dominant algorithms is to get the maximum you want in the shortest possible time, collecting is often perceived as a relic of the times.
At best, it is associated with the quirks of the elderly rich, at worst - with the hoarding of infantile freaks who diligently laminate individual copies of comics. Strange as it may seem, these general outlines of the mass idea of gathering and collecting could once indeed be considered a reflection of the main idea of the varieties of this activity. But just as outlines and sketches become paintings over time, so collecting in the 21st century has become a huge industry. Paradoxically, it is very closely tied to digitalization. And this sign of the times can be most clearly seen in that branch of collecting that until recently was considered children's entertainment: collecting sports cards.

You must have heard that a LeBron James card was recently sold for a record $1.8 million for modern items (those produced since 1980) , but hardly aware of all the nuances that influenced its cost.
It gave not only in quantity (a total of 23 such cards were issued) and certainly not in James's autograph. The brand of the card, the record rating on the Beckett scale (a special gradation by which the value of an item is determined) and the time period during which the value of the LeBron card was formed played a huge role. According to auctioneer Ken Goldin, there would not be such a fuss about the amount of the sale if it were rarities like the Mickey Mantle baseball card issued in 1952nd year. Immediately, all experts were shocked by the record short 17-year period during which the card added in price. Goldin, like many collectors, believes that the reasons for this rapid growth are directly related to changes that will soon attract a large number of new people with money to the industry and make collecting even more similar to investment funds. Sounds loud and ambitious, but not convincing enough. So why is it profitable to invest in collecting right now?
Marking and production
Many consider the sport of the early 80s to late 90s to be a golden age, however, a huge number of cards with players from these eras are not much sought after by collectors today.
The fact is that at that time the sports card industry was just in its infancy, manufacturing companies regarded their product as a quick way to cut more money from naive and avid kids for images of their idols. Children, being the main target audience, of course, did not have a couple of extra millions in their pockets, so the prices for the cards were low. Manufacturers, quite expectedly, did not want production costs to exceed the final cost, so cards were printed in huge quantities and on cheap machines. As a result, the market was oversaturated with cheap goods.

that you can work for the adult segment. Industry giants such as Panini Prizms, Optic Holos, Flawless, Immaculate began to produce limited edition cards and design them in accordance with fashion trends. A hologram, an autograph of an athlete, a part of the jersey in which he performed, a serial number confirming the authenticity of the copy - all this significantly increased the external attractiveness of the cards, their cost and the speed of pricing relative to the time period from the moment of printing.
Now some examples are quite drawn to a finely executed work of art.
Liquid market
Social networks and the Internet have given collectors a lot of room to maneuver. Whereas before avid fans had to rely only on reading Beckett Basketball Card Magazine and exchanging cards through long mail correspondence, now on eBay alone there is a huge community of auctioneers, buyers, sellers and other hucksters who call themselves fortune-catchers in high society. Websites, online auctions, festivals, exhibitions, conventions have become an ordinary and integral part of the collecting industry in a short time. People who qualify this for themselves as a professional activity are not much different from financiers who play on the stock exchange. They catch the rise and fall of card prices depending on the player’s statistics, his injuries, his transfer to another team, and so on. This again catapults us to the question of how closely statistics and modern technology interact with collecting.
To understand how serious people are about investing in collecting, it is enough to mention the person who bought that very LeBron card for 1.8 million.

The lucky winner is Leor Avidar, 30, one of the two founders of the automated mailing service and Lob.com software. Together with his friend Harry Zhang, Avidar has repeatedly been included in various Forbes lists, but still calls collecting his main activity. It is clear that the rich have their own quirks, but the man who left Microsoft at 23 and successfully started his own business after that probably knows what he is talking about.
Collecting is a safer form of gambling
Betting is booming - fact. Bloggers, athletes, TV channels, movie and show business stars offer to try their luck at their own expense every 5 minutes. What is there, 60% of the English Premier League teams have a betting office as a title sponsor.
The mantra that it is impossible to make money on bets has long been perceived by many as a challenge: everyone is trying to prove the opposite, in an attempt to refute the obvious, losing their cash. The market for collecting sports cards is vast, but in terms of its mass character, it is not even close to playing on bets. This makes it no less interesting and safer.
Involvement in the field of collecting keeps the excitement, but reduces the risk of losses. You have the opportunity to get to know the collector better before selling or buying a copy of this or that card from him. You seem to be inside an industry that at the same time has a human face. In the end, no one bothers to combine one with the other: if you lose on bets, you can always get a rare card from the bins and try to sell it at exorbitant prices.
Basketball is booming!
And this is objective. The phrase “perfect storm” has had mostly negative connotations over the past year, but in the context of the collecting industry and everything that is happening now in the NBA, the meaning remains paramount.
Here are just some of the reasons why collecting basketball card menus is especially profitable today.
The NBA is an all-star league, and that's axiom . The biggest personal contracts, the most unparalleled indulgences, the most personalized stories, the star players, in fact, form the teams themselves. The NFL will never cease to be the most popular and popular sport in America, but the personality of the league owner and commissioner there always prevails over the personality of the player. In the NBA, everything is different, here all the attention is focused on the basketball players, they are the main characters, and the deliberate media accent only makes their personas brighter and more attractive. All this gives the players the aura of superheroes, in turn, this image component allows you to sell cards with NBA players more expensive and more often.

In basketball, a player can become a star in virtually any position .
Especially now, when the lack of roles is becoming a sign of the times. Marcus Smart defends against Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid shoots from behind the arc, Nikola Jokic plays combinations, Houston plays four small and one large. By and large, there are no center, powerful forwards and point guards anymore. In basketball, at the end of each season, three symbolic teams are assembled, each of which has five star players. There is a huge amount of potential for collectors in the NBA. It's not the case in American football, where pronounced stars predominate mainly in three positions: quarterback, running back and receiver. Cards with players of these positions are in the price, but the rest are not sold so willingly. American football is a game of schemes, chess is on the field, the work of each player here is strictly functional, and there is not much room for improvisation. The situation is similar with baseball, where pitchers and hitters run the show, and defense players dutifully perform their duties.
This doesn't make the NFL or MLB worse than the NBA, but it drastically reduces the number of characters whose flashy performances could drive up the price of a card with their image. The same goes for the NHL with European football, sports that are themselves less in demand in the United States.

Injury . Damage and stress will happen in the NBA, but this is not the NFL, where it is quite normal to end a career after 7-10 seasons. And this is about the average duration. In this contact sport - as in hockey - every hit can send even the most status player to the end of the line for severance pay. MLB has its own characteristics: pitchers, one of the two most sought-after positions among collectors, throw balls at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour over and over again and invariably cripple hands, elbows and shoulder joints. These are chronic injuries, after which baseball players rarely return to their previous level.
So basketball is here, although relatively, but still in a privileged position.
https://twitter.com/tsn_sports/status/1283657674941501440?s=21
Globalization . Collecting is not only a privilege of the United States, where American football is popular, and baseball has already become not so much a sport as a cultural tradition. Basketball is global and in its popularity it is much more representative than hockey, so we do not read news about the record purchases of cards with the names of Teemu Selanne or Jaromir Jagr, with all due respect to these great people. Additional excitement was added by the international generation of NBA stars: Giannis, Jokic, Sabonis, Gobert, Hachimura and, of course, Doncic. Card Panini Prizm RC Luka Doncic 2018/2019now one of the fastest growing in price.

Add to that the advent of Zion , which has thrown all of America's sports media reserves into promotion.
What will happen to him, God knows. But the fact that his cards are already being bought up suggests that he sees a good future in the field of collectors. Given his constant problems with his knees, if I were him, I would buy a couple of cards with my image. It may turn out that in 10 years Zion's card will be worth more than his entire contribution to basketball during his short career in the NBA.
TOP 11 most expensive sports cards in history
In childhood, most children have some kind of hobby or hobby, which they recklessly absorbed. Often hobbies are associated with collecting. Collecting coins, stamps, cards, figurines - everyone knows, and some do not stop their hobby even as adults. Of course, collecting doesn't end in childhood. But seriously, even in adulthood, things like coins, stamps, cars and autographs continue to attract and make enthusiastic people spend a lot of money. Pay attention to the 10 most valuable collectibles.
Perhaps one of the most popular hobbies is sports cards.
You can buy a new pack of cards almost anywhere. Popular sports are hockey, football, basketball, baseball. The cards you bought today have no value, but by betting on their price increase, you have a chance that one day you will have a very rare and coveted card for many in your hands.
Let's look at The 10 most expensive sports cards that have been auctioned and purchased in recent years . Once upon a time, these cards were ordinary pieces of paper. Some were to draw attention to the pack of cigarettes and the company's brand. Others were released by confectionery companies as a prize or a way to advertise the company and its products, these companies came to dominate the market and still do not give up.
11. Johannes "Honus" Wagner, 1910 - $219,550
Wagner played in major league baseball from 1897 to 1917. Nicknamed the Flying German, he won 8 titles, 6 league slugging titles, and 5 stolen base titles. Possibly one of the greatest shortstop players ever.
Wagner was in the first group of players inducted into the baseball hall of fame. He spent most of his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates batting average of .329, hitting 3,430, and scoring over 1,700 runs.
Distributed with sweets, these cards are likely to fall into the sticky hands of little candy lovers. As a result, the few surviving cards have risen in price.
10. George Miken, 1948 - $219,550
George Miken is the only basketball player whose sports card is still included in top 10 most expensive sports cards . He was a 2m center who made a name for himself playing for Chicago American Gears and Minneapolis Lakers in NBL and later in BAA and NHL .
Miken was such a significant figure in basketball that under his influence several rules of the game were changed, and they still exist. These changes include the introduction of an attack time limit, holtending, and an increase in the 3 second zone.
During his career, he won 7 championship titles.
9. Bronco Nagurski, 1935 - $240,000
Born in 1908 in Canada, he became famous as an American football player in the fullback position in the 30s of the last century, played for the Chicago Bears team. He was also a professional wrestler and even returned to Chicago Bears for one season in 1943 to make up for the absence of players who had taken part in the war.
A three-time NFL champion , Nagurski was a formidable force playing both sides of the field. The chewing gum company said their annual set will include 240 cards. But at 1935g only 36 were submitted. This card shows him at his college in Minnesota, but at this time he was a member of the Chicago Bears team. A small discrepancy made this unusual card highly desirable and expensive.
8. Ty Cobb, 1911 - $272,980
He was an outfielder baseball player. Played all but one season for the Detroit Tigers .
His impressive stats speak for themselves. He was a 12-time batting league champion and a 6-time stolen bases champion. In addition, between 1905 and 1928:
- had an average batting rate of 0.367,
- made 4200 hits,
- 117 successful runs,
- over 1900 runs.
The 1911 card was issued together with cakes from a confectionery company. This is one of the rarest baseball cards, made even rarer by the fact that Cobb smiles, which he almost never did on baseball card images.
7. Lou Gehrig, 1933 - $274,950
He was a first baseman who played for the New York Yankees from 1923 to 1939. Now his name is associated with the disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease), but he was a 6-time world series champion, was elected 7 times to play in the All-Star Game. He had:
- batting average 0.340,
- 493 scoring runs,
- almost 2000 runs.
Double title holder " Most Valuable Player ", he was the first player to have his number permanently assigned to him.
He was one of the most popular players of all time, and his sports card is also very popular with collectors. Made in 2011, in mint condition 1933, this card is from the collection of Charles Merkel was sold for an impressive $274,950.
6. Mickey Mantle, 1952 - $282,000
Center fielder and first baseman New York Yankees from 1951 to 1968, Mickey Mantle is recognized by many as another great player in Major League Baseball the best hitter of all time . Winner of the " Triple Crown " 1956, was named the " Most Valuable Player of the " American Baseball League three times and was selected to the All-Star Game 6 times.
He set too many records to list them all here, in addition he had:
- batting average 0.298,
- 536 scoring runs,
- made 2400 strikes,
- 1509 runs.
At the same auction that sold the 1933 Gehrig card, the 1952 Mantle card was valued at $282,000. This suggests that if the three remaining 1952 Mantle cards were up for sale, they would have been valued much more.
5. Jude Doyle, 1909-1911 - $329,000
Jude Doyle - Pitcher who played for New York Highlanders and Cincinnati Red from 1906 to 1910. Due to the length of time between his innings, he was nicknamed " slow Joe ".

Before it was discovered, Joe Doyle cards had already hit the shops, along with the bug that made them so valuable. Less than ten of these cards exist today.
4. Henry "Hank" Aaron, 1954 - $357,594
Hank Aaron is now long retired. Played as an outfielder for Milwaukee Braves, Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers from 1954 to 1976. In All-Star games from 1955 to 1975, Aaron was the main force in Major League Baseball's and set many records including runs, extra hits on base, and total bases. He had:

1. Honus Wagner, 1909-1911 - $2.8 million
The Flying German has the honor of holding the most expensive sports card of all time - and by a wide margin. The American Tobacco Company's 1909-1911 Wagner card is very rare, with only 57 known examples in existence.
