IN THIS EPISODE
Why the hotel STAR report and competitive benchmarking matter for card sellers
Start with the exact card: year, set, parallel and grade (our example: Tom's Steph Curry "white disco")
A proposed sale-to-market index: your sale price compared with matched completed sales
Reviewing one sale over time: 3 months, 6 months and beyond, when later prices rise or fall
Inserts like Touchdown and Downtown, Bowman anime, GPK and spotlight cards, and when a price range is the honest answer
A simple month-end report: one defensible benchmark per card, and pending vs. unscored results
Why unsold cards still belong in the review, and why zero impressions do not mean zero demand

In this episode of Living on the Edge, Tom Lyons, “The Pricing King,” explains why context should come before a selling decision. Drawing on more than 30 years in pricing and hotel revenue management, the Lyons Cards co-owner explores how to read market movement and separate a headline from evidence about the exact card you own.

Lessons from hotel revenue management about interpreting a “down” month
Our preliminary 2024–2025 study covering seven exact card-and-grade series, six players and 2,775 recorded sales
Why year, set, parallel and grade matter when comparing prices
How releases such as Topps Flagship and Bowman Football compete for collectors’ attention
Price versus liquidity, sparse sales and why a missing sale does not prove a card held its value
How reviewing sales at month end informs the next pricing decision
