The Friday Five: Prospecting a Few Players Making Noise Into the Weekend

Give them time, and they’ll show you what they’re made of. A couple rising stars are on the cusp of something big—here’s why their cards - and a few others - might be worth your attention.

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.

These are 20-something-year-olds who are facing pressure to perform up to the hype—let’s not forget it! If you see the rise and fall of a card’s value, it might not be a “bust” but rather opportunity to grab something before it ascends upward again.

That’s what makes this hobby so exciting—players you might’ve overlooked today could be the ones making waves tomorrow, and vice versa.

Have a great Friday with these five!
