ARE YOU BUYING 2023 PRIZM BASE ROOKIE SINGLES & GRADING AT PSA? I always say only buy with a selling marker in mind; and only buy THE RIGHT CARDS, for THE RIGHT PLAYERS at THE RIGHT TIME. I also always recommend only buying into current rookie cards 3-6 months AFTER a player’s last rookie card has hit the market. This is a key guideline in our Advanced Flipping Course at SportsCardSchool.com. But, I also dig into sports card flipping opportunities for several hours a day - that’s why you listen to this show. And I try to find specific plays that go against my own guidelines… SO, is there a sports card strategy to buy Prizm Base Rookies from the recently released 2023 set and make money? #sportscardstrategy #sportscards #sportscardflipping #sportscardinvesting #sportscardinvestor #sportscardinvestors

Ever had a parking nightmare ruin the start of an event? My wife and I recently did at a Glass Animals concert, and it reminded me of how important those very first moments when a fan arrives at a venue are for shaping their whole experience. We were headed to the Kia Forum (separately) - for what should've been a great night. Instead, confusing signage and unfamiliarity with the area led to my wife accidentally parking at SoFi Stadium next door. $125 later 🫠, she finally made it to the right $40 lot at the Forum. It really drove home why pre-selling parking is so crucial. It's not just about convenience - it's about setting the tone for the entire event experience. That's why I'm excited about the work Paciolan clients are doing using Ballena 3D technology. Schools like Mississippi and LSU are nailing it by integrating parking into their seat selection process. It might seem small, but it makes a world of difference to fans. Curious about how our clients are using tech to smooth out these fan experience wrinkles? Check out our latest blog post showcasing the innovative solutions they're implementing. At the end of the day, it's all about making sure the biggest stress for fans is whether their team will win - not where they'll park their car. #FanExperience #EventTech #SmartParking

Both in terms of audience and revenue, the Esports business has experienced phenomenal expansion over time. The growing audience has largely led to revenue growth and not simply because those viewers generate income. Although the term Esports Winter still affects this industry, there are many well-known brands (e.g. Microsoft, The Walt Disney Company, Savvy Games Group, Kia Europe, etc) that are investing in Esports marketing, both directly and indirectly, since they see the opportunity to reach a big and engaged audience. Esports has also experienced growth in several other aspects such as Collegiate Esports! As we look ahead to the future of Esports education, it’s clear that the trajectory of these programs (e.g. NEXUS Collegiate) will be shaped by both internal and external factors. On one hand, the continued growth of Esports courses within education and the maturation of the Esports industry is likely to fuel demand for specialized education and training opportunities. After all, there’s no sign of the education sector slowing down anytime soon. As Esports becomes increasingly integrated into mainstream culture, the stigma surrounding gaming-related degrees may diminish, leading to greater acceptance and recognition within academic and professional circles. Together with our partners, Phoenix Blue, Esport United, Jönköpings kommun. Region Jönköpings län, Destination Jönköping, JUSTICE Esports Association, and NYSA Sweden, we will do our best to create a condition for collegiate Esports, in Scandinavia (with Sweden as the center), to thrive in this part of the world!
