Very interesting the way this is all developing, and all the major US sports licensing for cards seem to be going to Fanatics, that also shares ownership with the same major sports leagues and their player's unions.
I know that MLB operates under a 100 year old exemption from the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, not sure about the NFL and NBA. I wonder with all of what is occuring if at some point this possibly comes under scrutiny as a potential violation of anti-trust laws. Doubt it, but don' know all the intricate details, so one never knows.
