Topps jumped the shark several years ago and the overproduction in the modern market will catch up to it just like the 90's. I think it's a brilliant move to take top dollar from a clueless newbie and play the game to keep the brand alive and the employees working.

The smart move will be when the modern market falls out from overproduction following the same roadmap it followed before. Then Topps slides in and rebuys the brand at less than 30% of the money they were bought with and restart the cycle anew with a monster profit for sitting and watching from the sidelines for a few years.

It's not a new play, but it's a great one.

Big surprise!

They're about the money. Wouldn't be shocked once they actually take over card production to see them do to the breakers out there what they're doing to Topps, Panini, and others. Why let online breakers profit from your product when you can figure out a way to keep those profits for yourself.
