I know most of us on this page are going to be biased towards baseball, but if we ruled out baseball, where do you see the most growth potential? Basketball (which saw exponential growth during Covid, much of which crashed back to earth quickly)? A sport like soccer with global appeal? Something else?

Woman's basketball cards. They've had tremendous appreciation in the last few years and, based on scarcity, there is still plenty of room to go. The WNBA added a team this year, the first addition in a long time, and has two more scheduled to be added next year. Attendance at games has gone up a lot and television coverage has increased dramatically. Part of this began as the Caitlin Clark effect, and that got people in the door, but the quality of the product kept them there. A Clark 1/1 rookie(one of several different 1/1 rookies --does the Panini printing press ever stop?) went for almost $700,000 this year. I think that price is totally crazy but it does show that there is money out there with an interest in the woman's game.
