📩 Subscribe to my newsletter for deals, insights, and hobby thoughts: 10kcardjourney.beehiiv.comIn this episode, I explore how broader economic trends can influence the sports card market — even if nothing about the cards themselves has changed.Sports cards may feel like their own world, but they’re still part of a larger economy. When consumer spending tightens or financial conditions change, it can affect how collectors buy, sell, and value cards.This episode isn’t about predicting a crash or telling anyone what to do — it’s simply about encouraging collectors to think about the bigger picture and how macroeconomic factors could influence the hobby.As always, this is just my personal perspective as I document my own journey building a sports card portfolio with a $10K starting budget.
