This industry has grown significantly in popularity and importance over the past ten years, and it is changing quickly. This expansion is intriguing and has a number of possible causes. Since there are hundreds of brands, series, and card genres available on the market today, their values vary depending on factors including population, rarity, condition, and aesthetic appeal. For sports enthusiasts, collecting global sports trading cards has become a fun pastime. The sports trading card market has grown tremendously in the last several months, both in terms of value and appeal. This growth is ascribed to a number of factors, including the concurrent expansion of sports betting.
- February 2021; Topps declared that it would collaborate with Athletes Unlimited to produce an online-only trading card set commemorating the first Athletes Unlimited volleyball league. Six Olympians from five different countries and 44 of the top professional volleyball players in the world are included in the limited edition trade set for Athletes Unlimited Volleyball. For women's professional volleyball, it will be the inaugural Topps trading card set.
- July 2023; The first overall NHL Draft pick, Connor Bedard, and Upper Deck inked a contract. By virtue of this deal, the player's trading cards will remain solely owned by the corporation, which will also issue autographed cards.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
One of the main drivers supporting market expansion is the rising desire for online card purchases. The internet trading card market has been completely transformed by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and block-chain technology. In addition, a decrease in the average selling price of smartphones and improvements in communication network infrastructure have led to a rise in their adoption, giving fans the chance to purchase them online without having to worry about losing them. Consequently, the growing use of technologies like block-chain in conjunction with the growing ubiquity of smartphones is probably going to have an impact on market growth in the years to come. One of the major industry developments boosting market expansion is the rise of bitcoin for online purchases. Bitcoin is an autonomous digital currency that is used in online transactions. It is unregulated by national central banks and offers an adequate level of transparency.
One of the things hampering the market's growth is the advancement of online data security issues. In addition to lacking openness in their compensation procedures, the majority of websites lack a suitable framework for handling disputes. Furthermore, the lack of equitable online trading norms diminishes the legitimacy of online platform providers. This problem with credibility hinders the market's expansion and deters new customers from buying sports trading cards online. Consequently, it is anticipated that this will impede the market's expansion throughout the projected duration.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Sports Trading Card Market
The COVID-19 pandemic's abrupt outbreak in 2020 had a profound impact on the sports sector, resulting in the imposition of stringent lockdowns and severe regulations to uphold protocol. Around the world, most stadiums are empty, save for the players who compete in various leagues or tournaments. The online gaming business has experienced growth among tech-savvy millennials, thanks in part to COVID-19. In order to improve financial transactions between employees and fans, the sports business has begun implementing block-chain technology within the bitcoin ecosystem.
