Several manufacturers have started producing digital baseball cards, with some companies even offering cards as non-fungible tokens. While these digital sets make cards more accessible, they may not be ideal for investors.
The key problem with digital cards is that they don’t provide the collector with a physical product. As a result, many don’t place the same value on digital cards as they do physical cards. That’s not to say you can’t make a little money with digital cards. For example, a Topps Hi-Tech card featuring Mike Trout once sold on eBay for $550. But when compared to physical cards, which can sell for five, six, or even seven-figure prices, digital cards may not be ideal for an investor’s collection.
