Trading cards in 2027: Where will growth come from?
Live online workshop · Invitation only · Monthly series
25 minutes
Which parts of the market are best positioned to outperform, and how will new technology and trading platforms influence where collectors spend?
World-first market predictionsAuthority will reveal world-first forecasts for which trading-card categories could outperform in 2027, including Pokémon, sports cards and emerging collections.
Part of Authority's monthly series of small-group discussions for industry leaders and investors.
What we’ll cover
For trading-card dealers, retailers, marketplace operators and related businesses. A practical market outlook with live questions, audience polls and an Authority forecast to help inform inventory, sales and customer acquisition decisions.
How platforms could shift spending
Explore whether digital packs, new entrants such as Coinbase and easier tools for valuing and selling cards could attract new buyers or move existing spending between channels.
What to prioritise in 2027
Discuss what to stock, where to sell and how to earn repeat business. Test the outlook against an Authority forecast and identify signals to watch before committing more capital.
Why this matters
Growth across the trading-card market will not benefit every category or business equally. Changing collector preferences, new platforms and better pricing tools could reshape demand, stock turnover and margins. Brett and Howie bring collector-community and collectibles-investment perspectives to help participants identify opportunities to investigate, assess risks to existing inventory and decide where to focus their sales and customer acquisition efforts in 2027.
Who you’ll hear from
Two perspectives on where the trading-card market is heading: what collectors want and how the tools and platforms serving them are changing.
Founder & Host, Stacking Slabs
Brett McGrath created Stacking Slabs, a sports-card podcast and media platform built around the collecting community. He brings a collector’s perspective on what drives demand, how people choose where to buy and what turns initial interest into lasting engagement and repeat purchases.
