ARE FOOTBALL CARDS ABOUT TO GO NUCLEAR? 📈
A collector reports that football cards, particularly Jackson Dart and Trevor Lawrence, experienced a significant price recovery over the past week after a sluggish opening weekend at a Dallas Card Show. Jackson Dart cards rose 7% after dropping 40% in the offseason, suggesting potential for continued price appreciation if player performance remains strong.
Summary
The speaker attended the Dallas Card Show during the opening weekend of the NFL season and observed a notably weak market for football cards. Despite the season's start, popular rookie cards like Jackson Dart, Trevor Lawrence, and other anticipated players were difficult to find and not actively being bought or sold. This indicated a depressed market condition for football cards at that time.
However, the situation began to shift over the following week. Jackson Dart cards, which had experienced a severe 40% price decline during the offseason, started recovering in value. These cards increased by 7% over the course of the week. Trevor Lawrence's cards also showed modest price increases during this period.
The speaker expresses optimism about the market's trajectory, suggesting that if the positive performance trends from the first week of the NFL season continue, football cards—particularly those of strong-performing players—will likely experience rapid price appreciation and become significantly more popular with collectors and investors.

[0:00] I was at the Dallas Card Show last weekend and no one was buying or selling football cards. It was the opening weekend of the NFL season. Couldn't find Jackson Dart.
