If you haven't noticed already, here's a tip:

That should be enough of a tip, but here are a couple more points and facts to consider regarding STARPRO:
STARPRO's Distribution is Limited
Only 120 SP is released and added into circulation per day, and it has a supply limit of 500K - unlike STARBITS which has no daily distribution and supply limit.
Promoting Fan Club Needs 16.8 STARPRO Total
Considering STARPRO's supply limit of 500K and doing a simple division, one can easily find out that only almost 30K Players can get all the Fan Club Cards - making them super valuable. (This is not taking into account the SP spent on Festival World Tour)
So securing your 16.8 STARPRO is a priority and a must.
Not to mention that each one of the Fan Club Cards can only be issued once per player and the process of getting all of them takes 700 hours (~29.2 days of NONSTOP farming)
Festival World Tour
I see many people going for Unique cards and trying to get at least one of each. Those doing so, need 3 SP per week (as each Festival World Tour lasts 1 week for each country's wristband - 52 total countries, spanning over a year)
Unique Card Hunters keep one wristband, blend the other two to get two instances of each band member, and then proceed to blend one of each band member to get the full band and keep one instance of each card after the blend.
Each player needs 156 more STARPRO to achieve this, so a perfect collector would need as much, limiting the players currently able to get all of the cards to ~3K which is half of the current player base.
Runners
I have no comment on these people, they're not much worth the SP currently, unless you're a collector.
Future Use Cases
I believe STARPRO has enough use cases and enough gameplay around its acquisition to be considered a solid investment, but there's no guarantee that there won't be another use case introduced later on. And if that were to happen, I'm sure the prices would rally significantly (just like how the introduction of Fan Club more than tripled the price).
One other possibility is that when the update (which utilizes Fan Club cards) is live, there'd be another price pump just as when the feature was only introduced.
So, long story short, hold on to your SPs, boys!
Cheers~
