At over 80 employees already in Rochester, we are just scratching the surface of our global aspirations - headquartered right here in the City of Rochester.

When you log into your #brokerage account...these are the 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦. With an indexing methodology similar to S&P 500 portfolio construction (powered by CardLadder, details in appendix), we can begin to compare the ROI of #alternativeasset classes like 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 to traditional index funds. Over the last 5 years...the ⚾ 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥, 🏀 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥, and 🏈 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 #tradingcard indices have all exhibited 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 142% 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩 (the S&P 500, by comparison, has grown 86% last 5 years). With no #ETF investment vehicle existing yet within #TheHobby...collectors and investors reap this asset appreciation through their "collections", the total aggregated sum of their card portfolio. Many WeTheHobby customers collect out of love and passion, especially from a place of nostalgia. Others collect as a method of #investing. No matter the motivations, one thing is clear. This market is 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨. #TheHobbyBelongsToEveryone Source: https://lnkd.in/ewhdVski
