BONUS EPISODE: Fanatics Buys Out Topps – What Happens Next In The Hobby?

BONUS EPISODE 32: Clark and Hyung take a deeper dive into the massive news that Fanatics bought out Topps for a reported $500M-plus. What does that mean for the hobby exactly? Was the $500M too much or a steal to acquire Topps? Is Panini America the next acquisition target for Fanatics? Any concern about a Fanatics monopoly and what that might mean for the card market? Are there any legitimate competitors to Fanatics now or in the future? We tackle these questions head on in this episode.  For the transcript of our unaired episode on our 2022 hobby predictions (where we talked about everything from the future of NFTs in the hobby space to the state of retail this year) plus what our own personal collecting and investing hobby goals are, read the post here on fivecardguys.com Check out our Instagram page specifically for this podcast @cardstothemoon so please give us a follow there (and DM us your 'Pick One" pairs to debate on a future podcast episode) and listen to our podcast on the platform of your choice at https://fivecardguys.com/podcast !
