During the World Cup, "star cards" like unblind boxes became popular.

Some have a box of 666 yuan, and some have a box of 2,700 yuan. There are 6 sets of star cards inside. No one knows if there is a football star you like and whether you can get your money back. It all depends on luck.

　　Despite this, there was still a "star card" live broadcast that sold 200,000 yuan.

On the second-hand trading platform, there is even a record of a "star card" sold for 7.77 million yuan or even 9.99 million yuan.

Industry insiders reminded that behind the sky-high price of "star cards", there are more obvious hype factors.

　　A "star card" sells for millions or even tens of millions of yuan, and some speculators get rich from it... The "star card", which is a niche collectible, is not only flocked to by collectors, but also attracts some The entry of speculators in a group has become a "explosive business" with wide influence, and even a gray interest chain has been derived from it.

　　"Star card" has a long history. As an imported product, in foreign countries, the production, sales and trading industry chain related to it is much more developed.

In fact, in the circle of Chinese fans, there was no collection culture of "star cards" in the past.

Recently, taking advantage of the upsurge of the World Cup, the "star card" has quickly become popular through domestic live broadcast and e-commerce platforms.

Judging from the recent situation, many consumers have understood, accepted, and played with the "star card" at an extremely fast speed, and there is a trend of getting bigger and more fun as they play.

Inspired by the fanatical atmosphere of football and inspired by the myth of "creating wealth", more and more people are eager to try and enter the field to "buy cards".

　　Coincidentally, the blind box craze and card craze in recent years have brought about this consumption boom to a considerable extent, which has also objectively contributed to the popularity of "star cards" in the domestic market.

From opening the blind box to dismantling the "star card", the mode is almost exactly the same, and consumers can quickly digest the doorway without much effort.

In fact, there are indeed many speculators who were originally blind box speculators, but now they have poured into the primary and secondary markets of "star cards". The whole trading method is exactly the same as that of blind box speculation.

In speculative trading, human nature has never changed. The only thing that is changing is the target of speculation.

　　The essence of speculation is nothing more than a game of beating drums and spreading flowers. Just like speculating on orchids, hands, shoes, and teddy bears, speculating on "star cards" will inevitably burst the bubble one day.

Compared with the common risks of all speculative transactions, speculating on "star cards" also has huge special risks.

First of all, the domestic "star card" trading market is very small, it is difficult to ship and realize, and the risk is higher.

Secondly, the value of the "star card" is deeply tied to the star itself. Once the star's scandal collapses and his status declines, it will greatly affect the price fluctuation of the "star card".

　　What needs to be clarified is that many of the high-priced transaction records related to "star cards" are left-handed and right-handed. They are self-written, directed and performed by speculators, rather than the result of full game and effective pricing in a normal market.

A single example is never enough to represent the general market as a whole.

Regrettably, many people are so excited and lose their minds by the legend of "scraping cards and getting rich", they follow the trend and join in it in a daze, and they don't know that they have been cut leeks in the end.

If you buy a "star card" with the original intention of making a fortune from speculative arbitrage, there is a high probability that you will be disappointed.

　　Fundamentally speaking, economic development ultimately depends on honest labor and innovation, and cannot rely on various hype behaviors, especially hype behaviors suspected of violating regulations and laws.

On the contrary, if some hype and chaos intensify, it is likely to have a serious impact on economic development and social order.

Relevant departments, platforms, consumers and other parties should attach great importance to it, form an effective governance force, and curb the hype of sky-high "star card" in accordance with the law.
