As a direct result of the pandemic-fueled trading card frenzy, eBay reported a 142% rise in general trading card sales in 2020 over 2019. Sports cards were especially popular, with soccer cards trading at a 1,586% higher volume than during 2019.
We don't expect any massive changes in 2022. More likely, the trends of the last few months will continue. Base cards will drop, while the high end will maintain their value. Some of the promising young players of 2021 will reach fruition.
A favorite in the hearts and collections of many, Prizm can be thought of as the best of the Panini card brands. Thus, it's also typically the most valuable, and yes highly-sought after.
While Prizm holds the top spot in the sports card hierarchy, it isn't lost on Panini that some hobby enthusiasts cannot afford (or don't like) their flagship brands. On the opposite side of the spectrum, there are hobby enthusiasts that want super high-end brands and look for big hits like RPA's (rookie patch autos).
Topps is considered the leader of the industry, and rookie cards produced by Topps are often very highly sought after.

Art and Sculptures

For baseball card enthusiasts, though, the buying season is on deck. For collectors and investors alike, the best times to buy baseball cards are during the offseason and Spring Training. But which players will be good buys during this offseason and who can help you get prepared for the 2022 MLB season?
You can invest in them only if you desire to gain some advantage in the future. There is no scheme for the present, but an opportunity for the future. The value of the majority of baseball cards will increase in a few years. It's more like a fun hobby that can provide you with a chance to monetize.
