I've heard that buying in the offseason usually yields lower prices on singles. have you guys seen this trend hold true? do prices tend to increase in the season/playoffs?

thanks

Obviously not now if you are in the market for an 11k durant logoman. hahaha


They are lower in the off season, as long as it's not a new product.

seems like not as much product is out there in the off season too. I had luck early in the season last year.

Purchase what you can afford to loose money on and buy for the fun of collecting.

its true for all sports, but because this hobby is fun year round most people aren't that disciplined:)

This is also true, I bought Colin Kaepernick in fball when he was red hot, still flipped it for lots of $$$, If you do your research its always a good time for some card. If you are PCing, I'd get all cards that aren't SP (because you may never see them again if another collector buys them) offseason.

After a player's career is over. With the exception of Jordan (and Lebron ;)) most players lose value as more and more cards are printed, more autos are signed, or they turn out to not really be the next Jordan.
