Saturday Six: Timing the Climbing

Card values move fast, and sometimes the difference between a solid flip and a missed opportunity is just a day or two. Understanding the why behind the bump can help you catch the next one early.

This is not buying or investment advice. I’m simply reporting the data I’m seeing. Please do your own research and make your own decisions. Just because cards have increased in value up to this point, it doesn’t mean they will continue to do so.

I’m getting all of this data from either the Market Movers or Card Hedge platform. These are not my platforms, I’m simply a user and affiliate of them. If you want to do your own research, you can grab a free trial to Market Movers with code BALLCARDGENIUS. You’d also get 20% off of your membership forever if you wanted to continue once your trial has been completed. You can also grab a free trial for Card Hedge as well.

These tools aren’t perfect; no tool is. I’ve seen instances where a graded card was being included in the raw numbers, which might cause a misleading spike in value. So trust, but verify.

If there’s one constant in cards, it’s this: things can heat up quickly. One call-up, one streak, one tweet—and the next thing you know, a card you’ve scrolled past a hundred times is suddenly moving like it’s 2020 again.

Whether it’s a true breakout or just a brief bump, that’s what makes this fun (and potentially profitable). Below are six names I’m seeing start to surge based on today’s data.
