Kawhi Leonard Card Market Outlook

Sport: Basketball

Verdict: Consider taking profits (TRADE_THE_HYPE)

Why this verdict: The market looks overheated — prices are up 50% but the number of sales isn't keeping pace. Hype is running ahead of real demand, so it's a good time to sell into the strength.

Player-level card-market outlook, not a valuation or buy/sell recommendation for every card, parallel or grade.
