Soccer Price Trends

Soccer is the fastest-growing corner of the graded market, and its prices are concentrated in a small set of global names. Messi and Ronaldo anchor the category the way Jordan anchors basketball, with the next tier of young stars carrying most of the speculative movement. International tournament cycles drive demand, so the board can be more event-sensitive than domestic sports.

How to read this board. "Avg Ask" is the average current asking price across live eBay listings for that card — not a confirmed sale. "Move" is the day-over-day change in that average. "vs Market" shows how a card moved relative to the average move across the whole soccer category that day — positive means it outpaced its category. A green move means asking prices are trending up; it is not a buy/sell signal or a measure of true market value. These are listing trends, not sold comps.
