What happens to your collection when your player goes down?

In this Collector Conversation, I sit down with Rodney (@enjoycards_ig) to talk about what it’s really like to collect Tyrese Haliburton during a lost season. We revisit the Game 7 injury. The shock. The numbness. The reality of a gap year.

Then we dig into the cards.

Does an injury change your conviction?
Do you slow down or lean in?
Are lower prices an opportunity or a warning sign?

We talk about market data. We talk about emotion. We talk about why we collect in the first place.

Haliburton’s index is down while the broader basketball market is up. Sales volume is shifting. Speculators fade. Core collectors stay.

This conversation is about risk, loyalty, patience, and perspective.

If you’ve ever collected an active player through an injury, this one will hit home.
