Don't think we've seen all the moves by either of them yet.

Absolutely, Bob. Neither Fanatics nor eBay are done with their expansion. eBay is always so clumsy so whatever move they make I cannot help but feel it will less than awe inspiring. Fanatics on the flip side, seems to be more calculated and in touch with the market.
