What % ownership of limited numbered cards starts to steer the market

Hi all,

Curious to get opinions off collectors that have done this for a while. What % ownership of limited numbered cards starts to steer the market? My guess is 5-10% can effect upwards inflation on prices.

What's your thoughts?

A lot of views, anyone game to have a guess? I've gone with 5-10% because I think that will suck up a lot of the ebay and forums and facebook groups offerrings of a certain card. I've heard someone do this with Dangerfield previously. I have about 3-4% total of a few signature cards and plan on snapping them up whenever they are cheap.

If a card is limited to 100 Id think 10 definitely would control it. Or honour rolls having 7 of those would definitely control it. I think of the Tom Mitchell signatures for Swans supporters and they are quite expensive and rarely on the market to purchase.

I had nearly 100 of the Michael Hurley draft sig cards. Didn't really see any difference. I have offloaded most of them over the last 12 months for similar or less than I paid.

There you go. Thank you champion. I might stop at 5% ownership then.

But AFL cards in general are down about 25-30% over last 12 months anyway. So probably not the best time for me to sell.

I reckon honour rolls u would need at least 20 unless a big team. Oyher than that u need to get your hands on at least 30 - 40% imo

Which is a massive number, I don't think I'll worry. I think I'll just grab 15-20 cards of a few players sigs and stop there. Definitely an interesting discussion to have.
