Hopes and Dreams

The sports card market is one that is increasingly tricky to navigate. There is an overwhelming
amount of information available to anyone that is willing to put in the time. I have tried to put that time in over that last few weeks. I have found that at the moment my Magic the Gathering card collection is much larger and more valuable than my sports card collection is. I have started listing items for sale all over the web in hopes of making enough money to of course buy more cards.

I have started this entire process with my children, I have mentioned both of them in previous posts. My daughter Rylee and I recently opened a few blaster boxes of 2019-20 Optic Basketball. I thought the opening was pretty normal with no amazing cards to note. It was a fun time spent with my daughter and seemed to really enjoy it.

Then I started looking on eBay for a particular card that we opened and I was shocked to see asking prices in the hundreds of dollars. Had I really missed an amazing card? What I found out was that certain parallel cards carried big dollars, as long as it was the right player. Here is the card that we opened that day.

I know that Giannis is big, but I had no idea that this card could be worth hundreds of dollars. I have sent it off for grading via BGS and I am hopeful that it will come back as a 10. Maybe it will and maybe it won't, but the hopes and dreams of a father and daughter cannot wait to find out.

Thanks as always for Reading,
