Alperen Sengun Rookie Card eBay Listings
He hasn’t been getting much playing time in his rookie season but has done a decent when on the court for the lowly Rockets. While the thought of buying an Alperen Sengun rookie card is far from the thoughts of many collectors, there is some hope for a breakout down the road. But HOW far down the road is the question. The Rockets are once again abysmal and it’s clear they’ll need to surround their first round pick with much more talent before either Sengun or his new team start making any real head way. However, the slow start could create a decent buying opportunity for anyone willing to bet that better days are coming. Here are a few Alperen Sengun rookie card options to consider if that’s you!

Alperen Sengun Rookie Card Investment Strategy
Short (1 year or less)
If Sengun continues only get a moderate amount of minutes per game the chances for any real gains in the short term seem to be stretch. However, increased time on the court should produce an uptick in production that could lead to some renewed interested in the Alperen Sengun rookie card market. Either way, there is some risk involved anytime you’re dealing with an unproven rookie and a longer term approach seems like the better option to us.
5/10
Medium (1 to 3 years)
If Sengun is one of the catalysts who puts the Rockets back in the playoffs in the coming years today’s prices will prove to be a steal. However, you’ll need to consider whether or not Houston can rebuild that soon. If not, you’ll be banking on Sengun’s individual success. And he doesn’t get the help he needs, that could be a very dicey situation.
