Timing
Ok I just heard that MMA cards are a thing from my barber and immediately got some startup content (I assume everyone hates whales like everything else and I may have done "startup" a little drunk so I'll keep it to myself). But I'm curious about two timing questions.
Value effects of fight announcement. When they announce a fight, what happens to demand for cards of the fighters in that fight, favorite and underdog, and how does that split carry forward through a couple days after the fight?
Set releases. Do sets release per calendar year, like car years, or something else? When do we expect 2027?
Sorry if these are dumb. I'm mostly buying for myself, and to a lesser extent to help people looking to complete a collection if I can. No intent to turn a profit. But I'm also an ex stock broker and love watching values almost as much as watching fights.
Thanks!
