I know many modern Pokemon cards and sets are much more affordable than before. However, its appreciation value is probably higher than its time value of money prices in the long-term at the moment due to demand and supply issues. The best and most underrated play is actually LeBron cards. I’m not talking about the 1/1 RPAs and the Kabooms or whatever else that’s super expensive, I’m talking about chrome type of base cards and lower-end inserts. There are currently massive amount of extreme fire sale deals on lower-end cards due to the collapse of the mass grading trend. For example, before Tai Pete’s surge, I purchased hundreds of Tai Peete numbered and auto cards, some of which are 1/1 RPAs, for a few dollars each.
If you look online now, very few of these cards are being listed now, obviously yours truly cornering the market might have something to do with that as well but the bigger picture is when cards are predicted to increased in value significantly, people won’t sell period. Those that do really needed the money or may have somewhat of a contrarian view on the subject matter. You can buy NIL related high school numbered and autographed cards of players like Christian Collins, a five star and top five player in his class, for like two dollars. Take advantage of these deals while the NIL exploitation is still going on before their frontal lobe fully develops. With these dollar high potential cards, if you can, buy the entire collection. Of course no one is going to knowingly leave something that’s super hyped or hyped worth thousands in those boxes.

Take advantage of NIL, 1950/1960 vintage baseball cards, long-tails and Chronicles: Best collectible base, rookie and inserts cards to buy right now.

What you are looking for are the long-tails and the under-appreciated cards that you yourself are unsure about. What you do know is this is a probability game. In any draft class, all-star games, HOF selection, they need numbers. This means yes, not everyone will become the greatest, but there has to be enough greats in every era. Get what I’m saying? Whether someone is great or not is usually not something that’s absolute or historically relative, it’s what’s and who’s hot now and in that particular era and setting. Take advantage of the Chronicles. They are super cheap from a rookie cards acquisition standpoint. Most of these rookie cards might not work out but the ones that do you can make a lot of money from. I got thousands of Maxey rookie cards from the Chronicle sets for a few cents each in bulk on average for a few pennies per card a few years ago as part of my rookies pipeline.
Long-tails are hard to sell but cheap to buy but probably worth it most of the time and can yield huge profits. If only a small but significant percentage of your assets are tied to long-tails, then you can lock-in huge profits because you can wait for significant asset appreciation for long periods of time with on-going sufficient cash flow from more liquid but less profitable investments. Collectors don’t care about high school jerseys anyway so whether a NIL card is licensed or unlicensed is almost irrelevant but choosing an unlicensed one almost always means exponentially a cheaper acquisition purchase price tag. 1950s and 1960s baseball cards are dirty cheap. I’m getting bulk deals left and right for a penny per card. This is just another victim of the grading market trend.
