Hey guys,
Just wanted to take a quick minute to let you know how I’m prepping and investing my coins for team of the year and maybe help somebody out along the way. By no means is my method full proof or anything but we have to go off history and that’s what I’m betting on.
First and foremost, training is cheap right now so buy up as much as you can. Training re-rolls are likely going to happen so make sure you’re prepared. Based on last year, re-rolls were 39k and the 96 overalls quick sold for 36k training. If you look at the 96 overall quick sell this year, it’s 37k training so expect the training rolls to be 40k.
Sets will more than likely be a thing again. Last year it was 3 92+, 5 88-91, 6 84-87. With the market at the moment with Theme Diamonds, we’re probably passed the window to buy cheap cards for sets.
Finally, here’s the list of cards I’m investing in and what price range I’m looking to get them for.
90 overall Pat Surtain II: Under 40k
92 overall Justin Jefferson: Under 65k (value is a little capped because he’s still in the rising star re-roll)
86 overall Jason Kelce: under 8k
87 overall Roquan Smith: under 10k
83 overall Trent Brown: under 5k (SNEAKY cheap. gets Raiders and Pats Chem)
Redux 92 Myles Garrett: under 115k
Redux 91 Darren Waller: under 100k
92 Trevon Diggs: under 90k (value capped because of set)
87 Zach Martin: under 20k
90 Robert Quinn: under 40k (value up due to him not being in rolls)
88 Deebo Samuel: under 25k
Some things I want to end on. Don’t invest in PUPs. Most of the cards with sets will come with their PUP. Second, sets. I don’t invest in cards with sets because the entire market of the card involved would have to come up. For example, Aaron Rodgers will likely get an honors card. Why would I invest in his Gridiron Guardian card if people can maneuver around the AH by just doing his set? The value is always capped by the set. Finally, we all know how rare redux cards are in packs so pretty much any redux card that is a TOTY option is going to have value DEPENDING on the price. Take Travis Kelce for example based on his playoff card upgrade. He went from 170k to 330k on the redux market. There’s a little bit of investing in here for everyone and I hope it helps all of us! Best wishes gents.
