I imagine a lot more people are going to be priced out of buying anything other than singles.

What are the "reputable online marketplaces" referred to in paragraph 1?

Nah, just some churnalism/AI garbage from India of all places that’s solely used to drive clicks. OP yet again posting nonsense.

I mean it totally depends on whether the system is linked to the right block chain. To the moon!

A market that is already incredibly inflated with the air slowly seeping out expected to 5x over the next ten years as more and more licenses are being gobbled up by a single entity which can't even handle Star Wars correctly. Um, okay.
To add, is the growth coming from more and more people buying in or the people who have bought in buying in more? |

These reports have to be generated by AI.
You go to the report authors website "Market Decipher" and just skim through what they have created, it appears to be pure garbage. And they are creating multiple junk/garbage reports a day.

Disinformation is bad already. Can only imagine what we’re in store for.

The OGs (users with more than 10k posts) have always been very skeptical about any changes in the hobby (I'm new here, but I've been collecting basketball cards for +20 years). I agree that the OP article's projections are based on invalid data, but still, it seems that the overall feelings towards the potential growth of the hobby are viewed rather negatively by everyone who is replying here (been seeing a similar attitude through the years, especially from the people who have been in the hobby for long time).
Fanatics (Michael Rubin) statement about the potential to 10x the hobby has actually some valid bases in my opinion. There is a huge amount of people who love sports and spend a lot of money on season tickets sneakers jerseys etc. related to their favorite players. And they have never been introduced to the sports cards (zero marketing from Panini or any other production companies). We saw the effects of some of the influencers like Gary Vee introducing the hobby to their audience, now considering the size of Fanatics client base and the marketing money behind them, it's not even comparable in terms of reach and a potential number of new people entering the hobby. |

They are not 10x the hobby. The hobby was all over ESPN MSNBC WSJ when everyone was stuck at home during the covid. The growth during that period was probably 70% of the people that were inevitably going to start buying cards over the next 10 years. Who are all these new people that are suddenly going to become collectors? I am sure fanatics will 10x production and will sell cards at 711 gas stations and anywhere else that will allow them but that isn’t hobby growth. Rubin and the fanatics geniuses bought in at the top. Go look what Bitcoin, Tesla, Jordan Fleer ect were priced at when they bought in. Or what inflation and interest rates were. They also gave up ownership in the deals. They are going to rape and pillage collectors just like they are trying to do to panini now. Buy a fanatics t shirt and wash it once. If you are still excited they are going to be the only manufacturer of cards there is something wrong with you. |
