Topps has history and resonates with even the older guys who collected Topps as kids just like their father did before them. I don't like this at all.

Apparently it's a much bigger company than Topps?

They're getting money from somewhere. I'm pretty sure they bought Steiner too.

They are an $18 billion company and do have PE money from Sofbank and Alibaba... I'll hold my tongue on my opinion of that...

Not happy about this. I don't think Topps is as good as it used to be, but it's still okay and I do not feel optimistic about Fanatics doing anywhere near as good of a job.

Sad day for a longtime Topps collector. I guess "The Living Set" will have an ending in a few years.

If they acquire Topps and continue the brand, it may just end up being an ownership change in practice.

Michael Rubin, Executive Chairman, Fanatics; Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO, Galaxy Digital; and Gary Vaynerchuk, Serial Entrepreneur and Investor togehter set up Candy Digital in order to secure licensing & "make the market" for sports NFT's. The licensing of baseball cards plays perfeclty into their plan.
