Kind of. Fanatics Holdings, Inc., does not own the Certified Collectibles Group. CCG's parent is Blackstone, Inc. Michael Rubin, founder and executive chairman of Fanatics, is a minority investor in the Blackstone CCG acquisition. You may be right as to where the grading business is going to go.

Just to amuse myself, I clicked on PWCC to check out their new auction format.
I would offer up my thoughts: the quality of the material is poor overall, for example, all of the Goudey cards are graded authentic by some company I have never heard of, the bidding is almost negligible, although it is early, and everything was unimpressive. Few in our crowd would give it a second look.
