Episode notes
Collectibles Have Exploded Since 2021
- The best collectibles have dramatically outpaced 2021 prices, with top items now worth multiples more.
- Ken Goldin attributes this to billionaires, asset funds, and collectors spending on what makes them happy.
Evaluate Cards By Five Clear Factors
- Check who is pictured, print run, product tier, autograph/jersey presence, and condition before valuing a card.
- Remember: a "one-of-one" in a weak product often has little value.
Prioritize Condition And Grading Standards
- Prioritize condition above all because tiny flaws can drop a grade and cut value by multiples.
- Use reputable graders and know grading criteria: surface, corners, edges, centering.
