🏈 The Sports Card Index - Football

Liquidity Window: Last 7 Days
Market Type: Raw singles (ungraded)
Signal Discipline: Volume-first, execution-focused

📊 Market Snapshot

This market is in a single-player liquidity regime.

One rookie dominates both absolute volume and repeat-set confirmation, while the rest of the market fragments into:

• secondary rookies with thinner demand
• vintage legends with slower churn
• high-dollar SSPs that lock capital without improving liquidity

Index posture today:
➡️ Risk-on for fast churn
➡️ Risk-off for premium parallels and SSPs

This is not a “pick your favorite card” environment.
It’s a rotate efficiently or don’t rotate at all market.

🔍 What the Index Is Not Doing Today

• ❌ No premium rookie parallels added despite visibility
• ❌ No Downtown / SSP exposure regardless of brand strength
• ❌ No draft-pick-only QBs without repeat-set confirmation
• ❌ No vintage upgrades over modern churn leaders

Why this matters:
High volume alone is not enough.
Volume must be repeatable across sets at efficient price points.

🔥 Liquidity Leaders

The following names account for a disproportionate share of total market activity:

• Drake Maye (multiple sets, sustained)
• Caleb Williams (secondary base demand)
• Jerry Rice (stable vintage)
• Joe Montana (capital-heavy stability)

Only one of these currently qualifies as an Index Anchor.

⚠️ Capital Efficiency Check

Today’s market favors:

• $2–$10 entry points
• Base & widely distributed inserts
• Fast exit optionality

It penalizes:

• $250+ rookie parallels
• SSPs with <100 unit volume
• “Flex” cards that don’t improve turnover

If your capital is sitting still, it’s losing opportunity.
