Card Market Evaluation (CarteUniche.com)

• Market level: Medium–low
• Appeal:
• American player (always positive for the market)
• Technically very solid, but not yet “star level”

Strategy:

• ✔️ Buy low: autos, rookies, low-numbered cards
• ✔️ Interesting long-term hold if he makes a jump
• ❌ Not a hype-driven player (yet)

If he enters Top 30 and performs well in Slams, values could grow steadily.
