Three cards. One player. Today we break down the phenom Shohei Ohtani. No one player's eco-system is built like Shohei Ohtani. Upon his arrival in 2018, Shohei hooked a rocket to his back and hasn't looked back. Whether on the mound or at the plate. Whether an Angel or a Dodger, this do it all superstar is without a doubt a generational talent. Today, we dive head first into his card universe. Shohei Ohtani - 2018 Topps Chrome #150 Pitching There are plenty of rookie card op

We're into a new week and looking at one of the all time greats Derek Jeter! I'll be honest. I completely missed out on the Derek Jeter card cycle while he was playing. Loved watching Captain Cool play, but was out of the card game. With that said, I wanted to look into his earlier stuff and there are gems to be had in the Jeter universe. Derek Jeter - 1993 Bowman RC #511 Love this card for multiple reasons. It's his rookie card and is attainable selling raw for around $15,

In today's Daily Three we look at the greatest receiver in NFL history not named Jerry Rice. Let's get Mossed! Randy Moss changed the game when he exploded on the scene in 1998. The star receiver from Marshall was passed up by 19 other teams (Cincinnati twice) before being selected by the Minnesota Vikings with the 21st pick. His highlights, epic. His imprint on the game, electric! His cards are attainable but not as liquid as one might expect. What I found in researching Mos

Nolan Ryan is one of the all-time greats. His cards are affordable for the PC and for flipping. Long before he was pitching with a bloody lip after taking a ball off the bat of one Bo Jackson and even longer before he took Robin Ventura to the woodshed for charging the mound, Nolan Ryan owned batters. The all-time strike out king with 5,714 K's over his 27 year career will likely stand forever...okay I think its safe to say, it will never be touched. Ryan and his cards are t

Every day, we are scanning the sports cards landscape in search of gems that could be raw-to-grade plays. We present the data, you make the decision to make the play or not. Today, we've got three Michael Jordan plays that could play to your and your bank account's favor. Here we go! Twenty years after he retired for real, MJ's card universe remains extremely liquid and lucrative. There are the obvious cards to dive into, but at In The Cards, we want to look deeper at his

We're ranking the G.O.A.Ts in each of the four major sports and how their cards move in the marketplace. Well my friends, we have reached the end of our little scientific experiment. Today, we are looking at the all-time greats on the ice. As we've said in each of the prior three blogs, this isn't meant to be a debate on who should be on this list. It is meant to look deeper at the data on which player meets up in the intersection of price and liquidity. Hockey is a very dif

In the trickiest of all four major sports due to the majority of the G.O.A.TS being vintage, strategies are flipped upside down. Welcome back to this excersise in researching the top 10 G.O.A.Ts in the four major sports. I knew that baseball was going to be the trickiest as the names are vintage. Again, we aren't in for an argument about who is omitted and put in, the ten (with a bonus) can easily be argued to be an all time great! Looking for a longer play? Here we go! Dat

We picked ten of the all-time greats and looked at each of their rookie cards to find the intersection of value and liquidity. No we're talking! When I thought about content for In The Cards, looking at all-time greats to find out how expensive their cards were and then bank that against how much those same cards move was my first order of business. Basketball is my jam so I was over the top geeked out to dive into the data. Like football, this isn't meant to be a debate on

Our crack research team, along with our friends at Sports Cards Pro have got the numbers. As I have re-entered the hobby after a nearly three decade hiatus, I have learned a lot of things. Imagine being asleep for thirty years only to wake up to life as we know it now. It's that way for me with cards. First, the price in cards now is crazy compared to when I last cracked a pack. My parents owned a small town grocery store and my pay for helping out was a pack or three of bas
