Last Week

Fractional secondary markets

It was a mixed week for sports cards as baseball and soccer climbed and boxing and golf lagged behind.

All stats come from assets trading on the secondary markets at Otis, Collectable, and Rally

Fractional data contradicts what we’ve seen at OnlyAlt, which shows football as the biggest winner.
