What a great story of a true role model in Cal Ripken - look at the palm of his hand - he tests the pens before he signs so as to make sure they are working .... it’s a testament to his diligence (which made him successful) and his respect for the fans (which made him beloved)

If you invested $5,000 in Jimmy Garappolo rookie cards this off season you now have $2,000 worth of cards.
If you invested $5,000 in Patrick Mahomes rookie cards you now have $25,000 worth of cards.

One of the crazier things I’ve seen in ticketing

Back in November the Super Bowl market was a $3000 get in (before fees)
Has risen to $4500 now with the match ups set
Chiefs and 49ers are massive brands. Mahomes and Jimmy G are likable stars. Will be fun to see how it all shakes out
Was talking Super Bowl tickets with an industr colleague today ... all signs seem to point to market having a real shot at being over a $5k get in

Key aspect of this is the fact

and that accelerated hiring and training of reps
Teams were very early in the market with groups and season sales
AAF had a decentralized approach and some teams didn’t have heads of sales until weeks before kick-off
The XFL, before kickoff, has already surpassed ticket sales revenue for the entire season of the AAF.

I really can’t believe the amount of money novice collectors pumped into modern cards without fully understanding the quantities
There are over 13,000 psa 10 Luka prizms
For some comparison ... the 1986 Fleer jordan ... there are 322
How long do those who invested hold on?
Not often talked about: Number one determinant is personal financial situation. Many of these cards are collected by a young base, which will make them naturally more volatile.
Many relied on them only going up.
