Was interesting to see that a couple recent reports show some very positive upward trends for card collector in March 2024.

GRADING REPORT: Per GemRate “overall grading activity set a new all-time high with over 1.7 Million cards graded on March…Total output was up 8% in March compared to February (and up 13% YoY)”

SALES VOLUME: Per CardLadder the Monthly Online Sales Volume over the past 12 months, shows March 2024 as the 12-month high at $224 Million. Additionally, the first three months of 2024 have all posted at least $200M in sales volume.


THOUGHTS: With show activity at seemingly all-time highs, record sales, and record grading volume is this just the start of an upward climb? Or is this just a sign of early year optimism and the market will see a downward trend with warmer weather and a looming election in the Fall?

Let’s hear your thoughts and predictions…
