Two poorly run companies fighting over who gets to screw over the customers under the veil of being licensed exclusively to do it.
No matter who wins or is left standing, the customer still loses. Panini has a better chance of fulfilling seven redemptions tomorrow than winning this.

I am happy at the very least Fanatics has continued the Topps brand name. I was worried they were going to stop making Topps flagship once they purchased them.

I don't like Fanatics signing exclusive long term deals with the NBA,NFL, MLB and their respective players unions anymore then I liked Topps being blocked out of the NFL & NBA markets

I love the irony that the company that's had the exclusive NBA and NFL licensing rights for over 7 years is suing because another company did it to them. For the record I think exclusivity is terrible and has hurt the hobby and i'm not looking forward to the mediocrity of what will be the card scape with Fanatics at the wheel of it all.

The leagues and associations that grant these monopolies are the ones that need to be sued.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

This. Panini’s products are unimaginative, overpriced garbage. Good riddance.

This will be interesting to see how Fanatics responds. In reality, Panini is throwing a Hail Mary pass with seconds to spare. What we don't know is what the real purpose with Panini is...are they trying to stay in the game or are they trying to force Fanatics to buy them out as they know their clock is ticking...time will tell. With all that said, the only topic of importance with Panini is them honoring my redemption of 5 years before they go belly up!! ;)

Be more interesting to hear what evidence is presented and what the court of law says. Anti competition, and a pure monopoly. Don't forget how this was all rumored to take place. Should be a great show.
