Sports Card Market Cap - Top 50 Athletes
Rolling 12-Month Sport Card Market Cap - Updated Monthly
Last Update: 5/1/2024
Sports card market valuations for individual athletes differ from those of publicly traded companies. They are influenced by factors like card rarity, condition, player performance, and market trends.
To determine a sports card market cap, we analyze the latest and most accurate sales data from auction sites and specialized marketplaces. The provided data shows a rolling 12-month market cap for the top 50 selling athletes, with certain athletes entering or exiting the top 50 based on market movement.
For more data, consider subscribing to our 3-month sports card market cap provided in the Chasing Majors newsletter, ideal for sports card dealers, short-term speculators, and investors seeking to understand current market trends and identify hotlist athletes.
Note: As of 2/1/2024, disproportionate sales data has lead to the removal of certain auction houses and marketplace data from our market cap analysis. We continue to review all sales from every online marketplace that publicly releases sales data, and we may include additional marketplace sales data into future market cap analysis. At this time eBay sales data is the only data represented in the Sports Card Market Cap.
