But as I have posted I think they go in a different direction.

1. Company that assigns grades (values) to cards
2. Company that auctions cards

What they need to complete the trifecta would be the acquisition (or formation) of a company that makes cards.

I'm thinking they look to consolidate the TPG landscape further.

Topps valuation is probably too high. Perhaps just hire someone that doctors cards. What the heck it's happening anyway so why not keep it under one roof and capitalize. One stop shop...crack, doctor, submit, grade and auction to the public.
