<div style="line-height: 1.5; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Valuation Summary 📝
<hr style="border: none; border-top: 1px solid #ccc;" /> To ensure the competitiveness of the investment, we conducted a thorough verification of the purchase price by analyzing recent transactions and current market values on the secondary sport card market. Our analysis confirmed that the price offered, inclusive of all associated fees, is still highly competitive. To estimate the potential ROI, we used the historical performance data of the CardLadder Kobe Bryant card index. For our conservative scenario, we assumed the value of the card would grow at the rate of Swiss inflation, reflecting a defensive approach. In the balanced scenario, we calculated the average annual growth rate of the CardLadder Kobe Bryant card index over the past ten years. Finally, in the ambitious scenario, we applied the historical average annual growth rate of the CardLadder Kobe Bryant card index over the past 6 years, reflecting an optimistic outlook. 
 
Exit Options at Maturity 🚪

<hr style="border: none; border-top: 1px solid #ccc;" /> We will manage the exit strategy on behalf of our investors, ensuring the best possible outcome based on market conditions at the time. Depending on the value of the card and the prevailing market situation, we can either sell the card privately to a collector or take it to auction. Both options are carefully considered, and we will choose the one that maximizes the return for our investors.
