Supply and Demand. Way more Jordans than Charizards. It’s easy to get a fleer box, not so much a 1st box… Just about every sports convention they’re cracking one open and it can contain up to 3 Michael Rookies.
Maybe Sports’ collectors are divided in the sense that they either collect Hockey or Baseball or Basketball or Football. Pokemon is a whole generation and growing. Most collectors that are born in the 90s collect TCGs instead of Sports.
Not entirely true, the Jordan rookie has sold as high as $41,400 in PSA 10. If you look at it from an outsiders point of view looking at previous sales, the last Zard sold for $26k albeit several months prior. You could consider it an outlier sale until the price point is matched again. One sale is probably not enough to solidify a base level value as of yet.
I would say charizard is overall a more desired card considering the Pokemon card game effected way more people than basket ball cards ever did as its a street of sports whereas pokemon especialy charizard is hitting a bigger range of consumers, plus i guess you could tie in the fact of Pokemon being a biggest and fastest rising media franchise and charizard being the mascot waiving the flag for pokemon!! i think if the pops were equal charizard would still fetch a bigger premium especially if you were to tie age into the mix aswell being younger than the jordan rookie just highlights the potential with charizard
Basketball is way bigger than you think. It’s bigger than Hockey and it should even pass Baseball in the near future.
Yes, Charizard is an iconic card but if the pop was as high I don’t think it would earn much more than $10k or so.
I’m not even a fan and I don’t think it’s fair to compare a Legend like Jordan to Charizard. I don’t think even 5% of the world population even know what a Charizard is. If you had said Pikachu, you might have a point.
By the way, the Jordan Brand alone brings as much yearly revenue than all of Pokemon combined.
Many say he could only displace Jordan if he wins 2-3 championships with the lakers. One championship will put him probably at a share of GOAT. Do you agree?
