Panini is one of 75 card types scored in The Card Investor, filed under card manufacturers.
Both of the upside numbers are strong here — appreciation 92, liquidity 92. That pairing is rare enough to be the reason this entry exists, and rare enough that the price normally reflects it.
Accessibility of 55 means you'll pay somewhat over the sensible number but not absurdly so. Worth watching, because this score moves faster than any of the other three.
Set against the 8 manufacturer card types scored here, its appreciation of 92 ranks 4th of 8, liquidity 92 ranks 2nd, accessibility 55 ranks 4th, and risk 18 is the 5th-lowest. The closest thing to it on the numbers is The Pokémon Company, which scores 93 and 90 on the same two axes — if you're weighing one against the other, the difference is in the reasoning rather than the scores.
A one-year horizon means you're betting on a single body of work — one season, essentially. That's a much narrower bet than a career, and it should be sized like one.
At 18, this is one of the calmer entries in here. Read that as relative: the floor under any card is whatever the next person will pay, and that number can move a long way in a month.
Every entry gets four separate scores instead of one grade, because a single grade hides the thing you needed. Full explanation in the guide: what Kabooms, Downtowns and Color Blasts are worth.
