Supply and Demand Anyone?

Nick Mitchell @nmitchell11

Sorare card prices are THE hot topic of conversation - and fear - on my timeline. People selling entire collections. Worry and doubt running rampant. Using the power of Supply & Demand curves, we can explain what's happening and predict the future in minutes. Let's dive in ↓

One of the biggest trends of the week was macro card market worries and doubts.

I put pen to paper to get to the bottom of what is at play,

And what it means going forward.

Who says my finance degree can’t still be put to use eh?

ETH Reward Rumblings

JustMikeIt @TorronMiguel

@ni2las @Sorare do you guys have in mind ETH rewards for @SorareNBA and @SorareMLB? I think the entire community would agree that they are needed for the ecosystem and the health of the market. Thought’s? #SorareNBA #SorareMLB #Sorare

Potential legal ramifications aside…

How fun would this be?

I know, I know, nothing remotely set yet, but if Torron has the right of it…

Sorare could be bumping shoulders with Fanduel and Draftkings before long.

Triple Slash… Improved?

BAPP - A Better Triple Slash Line

Eli continues to churn out thought-provoking stuff that has immediate applications to Sorare MLB.

This time it's a deep dive into his alternative approach to the triple slash.

By using Avg/patience/power you get a dead simple metric for batter profiles.

Plus, with .500 being “average” you can spot where players stack up, without advanced stats.

LaBear Market?

Lucky Trader @LuckyTraderHQ

💰 Major Sale 💰 The Unique LeBron James 1/1 @SorareNBA Unique auction finishes at 44.9082 ETH ($69,164.92) This is the third highest auction sale on the NBA side of the platform, behind: 🏀 Giannis Antetokounmpo (113.9 ETH) 🏀 Anthony Davis (48.9 ETH)

In the last couple weeks, we have seen two monster Unique sales on the NBA side.

Whether we are in a bear or a bull remains a point of contention.

But no one seems to have told the whales of SorareNBA.

Action!

SorareNBA @SorareNBA

NEW: All-Star Action Pose Cards are HERE! ⭐️ We’re having a Power Hour this Thursday, Feb. 16, from 11AM ET to 12PM ET when action pose cards will be on auction. Bid on your favorite NBA All-Star action pose cards + add them to your collection! 🏀 ➡️ Sorare.com/NBA

One step closer to an Aaron Judge home run card if you ask me.

Suddenly, each card isn't x/1000 or x/5000… no they are one of X with that specific print.

Adding collectible scarcity without changing the game mechanics…🔥

Buyin’ & Sellin’

With all this talk of supply and demand, what is a Sorare Manager to do in these confusing times?

Sellin’

No One

Literally nobody. I ain’t doing it.

You can’t make me.

With prices where they are, and supply what it is, I meant it when I said patience is the key.

The macro forces of new user acquisition need time to work their magic.

We have a season to dominate soon after all.

Until then, stay the course.

Buyin’

Triston Casas

Ltd average: .0107 | Rare average: .0294

High pedigree rookie on a team that is expected to mash the ball?

Check.

Relatively minimal markup, even with suppressed auctions?

Check.
