SPORTS CARD VALUE POLICY: POTENTIAL LOSS

SPORTS CARD POLICY: POTENTIAL LOSS

The purpose of this policy is to inform participants in sports card activities about the potential risks and losses associated with the hobby. It is important for individuals to understand the financial implications of sports card and how to engage in the activity responsibly.

Scope:
This policy applies to all individuals involved in sports card purchasing, including participants, organizers, and spectators.

Potential Loss:
1. Investment Risk: Sports card collecting involves purchasing packs or boxes of cards with the hope of obtaining valuable cards. However, there is no guarantee that valuable cards will be pulled from each pack or box. Participants should be aware that they may not always recoup the full value of their investment and may incur financial losses.


2. Speculative Nature: The value of sports cards can fluctuate based on market trends, player performance, and other factors. Participants should understand that the value of their cards may increase or decrease over time, leading to potential gains or losses.


3. It is possible for participants to get caught up in the excitement of sports cards and overspend on packs or boxes. This can lead to financial strain and potential loss if valuable cards are not obtained.


4. Engaging in sports card buying activities excessively or compulsively can lead addiction and financial hardship. Participants should be mindful of their spending habits and seek help if they feel they are losing control.

Responsibilities:
1. Participants are responsible for managing their finances and setting a budget for sports card activities. It is important and advised to only spend what one can afford to lose.
