75. The Case for Salah: Collecting a GOAT in Plain Sight

Seth (@soccercardcorner) returns to GCC to dive into the evolution of his Mohamed Salah collection—and it’s a masterclass in focus and conviction. Despite leading the Premier League in goals and assists during a magical Liverpool season, Salah continues to fly under the hobby radar. Like Nikola Jokic, he checks every box: elite production, leadership, trophies—but lacks the market hype.We explore why players like Salah, especially from non-traditional hobby markets, often don’t get the collector attention they deserve—and how that creates opportunities for savvy collectors. Seth breaks down how he's leaned into this inefficiency, strategically targeting red and gold refractors to build one of the sharpest Salah collections out there. It's a fascinating look at how understanding both market dynamics and player metrics can shape a world-class PC and in Seth's case of arguably the best footballer in the world right now.
