Cant wait for topps finest and chrome basketball to be back
what i think is that fanatics needs to figure out a way to not charge $3000 for a box of cards with only $50 of value. i don’t need to see sticker autos of rajon rondo in cards that average out costing $450 a piece.
Considering they announced they're going to compete with COMC I the aftermarket selling as well, it is in their best interest to get values cards into packs
I hope fanatics won't be like Panini.
Fanatic paid $500 million for Topps so they could sell $3000 boxes and put nothing but crap in most of the boxes. Believe that.
If people will pay it, that is what they will charge.
When people stop paying 2k a box, they will change. Until then, they will be Panini with a different name.
You should state whether or not you are being paid or have been paid by Fanatics.... this sounds like a paid advertisement if I’ve ever heard one.
So what if it is 🤷♀️
Good and bad news. Great that the Topps name will still be around but how much is a pack going to cost?
My instant reaction. Holy shit cards are going to be even more expensive.
My instant reaction is this is GREAT. We do not need Fanatics starting from scratch making a card company. So THUMBS UP!
Great news!!! I want to see Topps Chrome in all 3 sports again. Very very excited to see Fanatics make this happen
Maybe you can do another video explaining why this is a good thing? Thanks!
They'll just over print it even more im guessing
Agree. Anyone that thinks that this isn't purely a business money move is a fool.
@@Girder yeah it used to be hobby for kids now it's all greedy adult investors who ruined the hobby making it like stocks they're douches for that... I say give the hobby back to kids the adults should just be teaching them about it not ruining it for next gens it's sad man.. this guy on this youTube channel one of those douches lol
@@Girder also the fanatics ceo said there gonna over print making sure cards are EVERYWHERE at any given time including stadiums, stores, ect Todo that you gotta print tons of cards or make cheaper sets for that and just make certain sets sp only. That's only way todo it without over printing Makin them worthless like 80s 90s days.
Yep I said it before anyone who thinks they spent a billion and a half dollars to help out the collector and tighten up print runs is absolutely crazy!!! They're going to be letting the presses fly! Sad times for card collectors
I am happy to hear this. Having Topps not doing baseball would be absurd. I wish they would buy Upper Deck.
Need those Jordan autos lol
Give it some time let’s see what they do. We don’t need to give one card producer the the keys and a blank check to the hobby
I love it! I can't imagine baseball cards without Topps!
Do you feel happy about it .. ?
They have the opportunity to do something special.
I would like to see them get a handle on the print runs, and have the rare cards differentiate themselves in aesthetically pleasing ways while retaining value for the long run.
I think it is great news! Ideally, I would like to see Fanatics also buy out the trading card arm of Panini America. Wouldn't it be great to see some amazing Donruss, Optic, Spectrum, Prizm etc. baseball cards in their true glory with logos and properties? Also, that would hasten the return of Topps Chrome for basketball and football.
Great news here! Can't wait to see Topps Chrome in other sports again!!
praise be!!!! I was so worried that topps was going to disappear!!!
Do you think this will have a impact on all the old Topps and Topps chrome cards or not really effect their values?
Topps is probably the best sports card company in the world. With Fanatics getting the MLB, NFL & NBA rights over the next few years the real questions were about Quality Control, Distribution & Market Experience. They solved that w. one acquisition. Personally I think this was a great move! 💯
I'm a Topps Chrome BB fan. However, the pre-sell by Blowout for 2021 was $350. Now? $160. Probably due to overproduction and the rookie class. What are Topps/Fanatics wanting to charge for boxes? Will there still be hobby and retail? If not? Will anyone be willing to pay 4 - 5 - 8(?) hundred bucks a box? Time will tell. A few years ago, I paid 95 bucks for a hobby box of chrome @ my LCS. I miss those days. ☹
As a HUGE baseball card collector I’m mad because I don’t want a 20% merch discount instead of a mike trout auto
I hope it all works out, not ready to drink the koolaid just yet
Agreed… 100%
It’s great to see the Topps legacy continue. I hope they stick it to Panini, although they make great cards they priced the average collector out of the card hobby with overpriced cards. $900 for a box of 6 cards. GTFOOH
I mean, I won’t be surprised if fanatics does the same. I’m just excited for Topps chrome and hopefully bowman chrome football to be back
With the prices of boxes and crap and the value of the cards I have stopped buying boxes all together and put that money towards cards/players I want instead of wasting money and not getting them.
Exactly I can't afford hobby anymore and it's sad. My son is into collecting now at 7 which makes me Happy so we just stick to retail. Love Topps and Topps Chrome in baseball I miss the Topps Chrome football and basketball
Sounds good at first but we all know monopiles are bad. A little too much control over the whole sport card market in this day kinda scares me . Even in the 80's, the sports licensing agencies saw that more companies were better and look what great cards were produced because of it, Upper Deck, Fleer and Donruss. I would have rather seen Panini's exclusive contract with the NBA and NFL expire and then open the licensing up. Yes there would be back to of a junk wax era again but that's the fun part and the high dollar products would probably thrive because of the lower end products bring in the younger and casual collectors again.
Fantastic news. We will continue to see flagship baseball products well into the future. I hope they will keep card prices affordable.
🤣
It was the only option Topps had. They had to sell while they’re still worth something.
Exciting! Now I just hope my GPK series 4 preorders are still on time and filled! Can't wait for chrome football again
Love Topps Chrome. I was so disappointed when they stopped football and basketball. It is my favorite release in Baseball.
Hopefully they move into hockey as well
Geoff predicts Fanatics buys Topps. It happens the very next day. Someone got some insider info cuz Geoff was the first to predict this
Dudes a shill of course he knew lol
I don't know what to make of the sports card market anymore.
Why wouldnt they over-print? More sales is more money. If people are willing to buy, then they will print. I don't understand your comment. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks.
The long term health of the product relies on consumer faith and retained value. They make more money in the short term, but if people realize there are a million of every card then the cards have overwatered the market and will maintain no value.
The head of fanatics talked about this already. Print runs are the lifeblood of long term value
I don't know about this.......
Ditto, not seeing the reason for excitement
Watched your video about bold predictions for the sports card market in 2022…that did not take long
Why does Jeff think Fanatics won’t overprint or limit production when after going on a spending spree it needs to make money back? They did overpay to get the different licenses and soon they will have monopoly of the market. Time will tell.
Wow, interesting
Because the guy calling the shots at fanatics said they won’t overprint, and identified high print runs as the problem for the declines in value of many key cards.
@@90Albums90Days The main problem is the millions of flippers going after the same 3 popular guys in every sport
@@90Albums90Days Yeah I saw the interview and read the article. Interesting how they will make money back when they overpaid to get the license. They are a multi billion dollar business for a reason.
Especially in a year where you have Wander Franco, and potentially Bobby Witt Jr. I like the idea of more transparent print runs, and management of print saturation. Having scarcity in iconic brands brings collectors to the hobby.
Inside information 😜
im so happy about this baseball cards without topps is absurd lol and excited for topps football again!!!
Why did Fanatics have to get the rights to MLB first if they were just going to buy Topps? Couldn’t they have just bought Topps and now Fanatics owns everything Topps did?
As long as they keep a cap on consumer prices I don't care if my second cousin twice removed produces cards. This hobby is getting out of control with card pricing and desperately needs a reset.
You called it!!!! This gives us a little more predictability of what’s going to happen in the future. Hopefully this will combine the best of topps and the best of what is yet to come.
Wasnt a hard prediction.. they were losing their license so they were gonna lose a lot of collectors.
It's a huge Win for collectors and investors!! I seriously hope that the transparency that Josh talked will happen. And so much more
YES!! Topps collector of Detroit Tigers team sets and Bowman Chrome Tigers prospects! Glad it will be able to continue under the Topps/Bowman brand.
If we have topps cards with NFL licenses again it will make cards slightly more affordable because of the competition
I'm kinda feeling sad about the whole thing.. Congratulations to Fanatics of course that goes unsaid. I'm going to be 63 in July. I've been somewhat of a collector for 50 odd years. Working 70+ hour's a week didn't give me a lot time to do much with my cards. I've actually never sent one card in to get graded. Until recently I hadn't even organized them and certainly didn't use my off time for nothing less important than my kid's. I lost my son to an overdose in 2002. He had just turned 22. I've worked very hard my entire life. A man's job starting at 8yrs old. I really enjoy watching Sports Card Investorand thank you for always having an exciting show and putting so much energy into it. I feel a bit lost though and would like to ask you what's a good method of organization I might be able to use that would...or could present or display...? idk, more than 30,000 card's or so? I'm disabled from an accident that occurred in August 2001. Seems all those years of breaking down my body are not fixin on easing up and what I really want to do is try to sell whatever I have time for and leave the money to my daughter Amy. I'm not the complaining kind I'm just a decent hard working God fearing christian man and looking for any advice you're able and willing to offer. We lost her momma in 2008 from diabetes. Not yet 40 years old. God bless and congratulations to you and yours as well. Lawrence S.
This is HUGE. I am a Topps only fan and my biggest fear was not being able to continue my collection.
I'd be expecting to rebrand their cards at some point. This will means other vintage cards with Topps logo may become more rare in near future. I think 2021 was the last year we've seen Topps on the card.
One age pass away, another comes. We'll see what future will bring us.
@@adwe6428 More rare 🤔😂
@@waltg1349 funny, indeed. Would rarer works better for you?
@@adwe6428 wasn't laughing at your word usage... Just with millions of Topps cards out there they're not going to be very rare 😁
@@waltg1349 wasn't sure tbh 😅
well yea, I get your point - there are milions of cards on the market, but if we dig a little bit more we'll see that particular ones might be rarer then others. Topps Now are usually printed between 5k-20k per card type, and then we've got limited chrome ones. I'm more TCG card collector, buying few Topps card per year from F1, but in every game there are rare/ultra rare/secred cards in a single run, and I bet it's similar in sport cards as well.
You and everyone else with a brain predicted this. Fanatics wasn't going to put the name "Fanatics" as the brand name on their cards. It was just a matter of time.
The first thing I thought when the licensing announcement was made was Fanatics would do something stupid, like start from scratch, buy Topps out right, or buy Topps and Panini America outright. Like you said, anyone with a brain could’ve figured this out last August. Nostradamus he is not.
I’m honestly pretty skeptical. Does fanatics care about the hobby? Do they just see it as a cash grab? I would be a little surprised if the continuation of branding remains established.
prizm and select> ant topps card
Will Panini send my redemptions before they go out of business? Asking for a friend
😅
😆😂😭
From what you just said about chrome back in bktb and fb is AWESOME!!!
Just this news alone should help the market grow even more. Healthy and thriving!
Exactly my thoughts! Love that the hobby will continue to be protected without any lapses in motivation caused by a lame fuck manufacturer. And excited about NFL and NBA chrome
You and everyone with any observation skills realized this would happen.
I'm hoping Fanatics will step up the quality controll game.
Most transactions in business involving an incumbent market leader with a takeover materialize with the incumbent essentially staying the same with a new employer name on top of their paycheck.... it is common and fairly mundane.... I am hopeful Fanatics commemorates this event with their own fanatics named product... I look forward to them tinkering with things based on current market data and a keener respect for whats best for the long term hobby health ~ not short term money grabs.... outside of that its biz as usual.
I’m still waiting on gear from the WS. Back to not being able to find anything on the shelves. Fanatics slow rolls everything and their quality control is trash. I’m probably the only one that is not excited about this move
If you are ever in Michigan and want to see some of the rarest Justin Verlander rookie cards just let me know.
Lesson learned. If you want a monopoly, just make sure you have a contract for it.
When will they start printing? I will not purchase panini any longer
Topps football is all I ever wanted. Hate Panini.
Yep. I haven't collected much since my beloved Topps Chrome football went away after 2015. So excited!
wasn't this already the case once they acquired the rights to the leagues? No way Fanatics is going to start it's own printing process from scratch...
Yeah and fanatics is going to hold a monopoly and jack the prices up even more. That’s why 2022 Topps series 1 baseball is already $50 more then last years prices
I don’t believe for one second Geoff had no inside information when he predicted this in his 2022 predictions. Super excited to have Topps chrome back in basketball.
Pretty easy to predict they would acquire Topps or Panini. It just makes sense. Next they will probably acquire a grading company maybe SGC.
Waited so long for chrome basketball to return.
As long as they print additional Garbage Pail Kids Sapphire sets I'm good :) !
I am extremely skeptical that anyone will curb over-production, but we can hope. Even if they do in their minds, will they really? The solution is not that every player has 10,000 1 of 1 cards. What I want to see now is Fanatics complete the cycle and buy Upper Deck. How great would it be to see Michael Jordan auto's on Topps Chrome! Finally, I have a dream - end redemptions forever!
Lol I my wife works for fanatics. We knew about this months before it happened.
I think it's a win/win for Topps and Fanatics, but doesn't bode well for your Select investment prediction IMHO
They have to buy panini before they run the hobby in the ground.
What’s the incentive to curb over printing?
Fanatics will have better marketing and better accessibility for fans
Gonna be a monopoly like no other where they own everything sports
Awesome analysis. I wasnt shocked when i heard the news after all the speculation esp on this channel.
this is awesome just not sure how much they will prevent overprinting. I suppose they could until the time comes where fanatics solely owns the NFL, NBA, and MLB licenses themselves in a handful of years. However once that time comes it will benefit Fanatics to sell as much as possible. We will have to see.
Fanatics didn't spend all this money to tighten up print runs. Anyone who thinks they spent a billion and a half dollars to acquire all these licenses and Topps to help us aka the collector by decreasing print runs it's not going to happen... The presses will be flying, maybe less actual brand name sets but there will be plenty to go around.
I'm STOKED that topps is going to online cause I have collected topps cardinals team sets for over 40 years
This is insane!
Are they going to acquire pannini as well? If so we will finally get the logos back for those brands.
Love to see it
makes me more bullish on Topps and Panini NFTs
They are slowing pricing out the Man that collects cards with his son, I'm one of those
We also thought it was gonna happen. Should be a good thing!
Love it! But we love Panini more in hoops and nfl
Topps Chrome Marvel set!!! Lets go!!! Would love this to happen
Fanatics would have to purchase Upper Deck for that to happen.
Wow, an end of an era and the beginning of a new one.
Panini screwed themselves over with massive printing.
Wow this is awesome 👏 exciting news for the hobby
I’m pretty sure the Star Wars license with Topps doesn’t expire for at least a few more years
I hope they do away with the familiar "regurgitated" sets that they put little effort into every year. How about putting in some effort and coming out with some new designs!?
You called it !
What this mean for panini cards such as donruss/prizm etc
So what happens to all the current Topps cards, do they just lose value?
Don’t get rid of digital products like Bunt,Skate, Star Wars etc been using these apps for years
Oh man topps chrome refractor hunting time!!!
whooo whoooo Screw Panini!!! Cant wait for Topps chrome basketball and football.. and continued bowman and topps baseball flagships this is amazing
It's awesome news. Glad it ends the no man's land for baseball etc, but basketball and football are still risking the panini overprint for a bit.
Holy shit you called It!!!
This means nothing will change. Fanatics just wants to sell overpriced boxes with mostly garbage inside them. The only people foolish enough to "crack" these boxes are gambling addicts, foolish kids, or rich people who knowingly blow their money seeking a rare Dopamine fix. The only good thing is modern NFT's and boxes get young people into the hobby----and many of the young people will get educated about the superior investment returns of vintage.
Topps lim edition wayne rooney 2004 england rookie card...have a look boys.
oh man topps chrome basketball again that will be awesome.
Cool
