The Downside of Europe

For us investors, players going to Europe is a nightmare. It, along with serious injuries, is the worst thing that can happen to a player entering his prime. Although Josh Childress was not the best player, I'm sure many people owned his cards, whether for collecting or investing, and ended up taking losses. When players go to Europe, they receive almost little attention from collectors and almost become forgotten, so prices significantly drop. The "European factor" is now something to consider when investing in players, although it is almost as unpredictable as injuries. This just goes along with the saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket."
