So you have $300,000 burning a hole in your pocket

If I had $ 300K burning a hole in my pocket, I can honestly say it wouldn't be going into sports cards. Talk to the next generation of collectors, age 7-18, they are not buying sports cards, they are buying Pokemon! My son has roughly 25 graded HOF and potential future HOF rookie cards all Mint or Gem mint that he has gotten for X-Mas and his B-Day over the years, never even looks at them, but put a pack with the chance of a Charizard pull in it and he's all over it. Where I used to have 1000's of baseball and football cards at his age, his collection is 1000's of Pokemon & Fortnite cards. He's not taking baseball & football cards to school to trade, it's Pokemon and has been for a couple of years.

Their biggest advantage I see is they are popular with boys and girls, not just the boys that play the sports. Don't believe me, go to your local WalMart, Target or Dollar General and let me know how many Pokemon cards you see, for the last month these displays sell out as fast as they can stock them, plenty of sports cards to be had for us old folks, but not a single Pokemon.
