A Rising Tide Does NOT Lift All Cards
The market doesn't reward truth, it rewards timing.
In this episode of Slabnomics, I break down the concept of DEMAND WINDOWS and why understanding the direction of capital flow is the key to profiting in sports cards in 2026.
Key insights from this episode:
→ Why "a rising tide lifts all boats" is WRONG for card investing
→ The supply absorption capacity concept explained
→ Sport-by-sport breakdown: Soccer, Basketball, Football, Baseball, Pokémon
→ Why vintage Pokémon acts like bonds in your portfolio
→ The "Studs and Duds" strategy for 2026
→ My 4-question checklist before ANY purchase
This episode builds on last week's State of the Hobby data analysis—now with actionable strategies you can implement immediately.
📊 THE CHECKLIST (from this episode):
1. What tier is this card in?
2. What direction is demand flowing in this market?
3. Has this tier received capital or is it waiting?
4. Am I positioned ahead of the flow or behind it?
