@idoxvi I love the site because those have always been my sentiments about him. Add a social share photo with a graphic of the countdown so that people don’t overlook what a fun site it is. #HalaMadrid #SupremeLeaderMbappe

@PoetofGallifrey @JigginJalen @MostlyEagles It’s not coded language or a race thing with him. His intangibles could translate into a tremendously better result on a football field from a different position, which would then lead to him making more money playing the game instead of always trying to be a development QB.

@JigginJalen @MostlyEagles No shit I ain't comparing him to Lamar. They don't ask middling white QBs to change positions. Not saying he needs to be a 1st round pick. Why can't he be drafted as a back up developmental QB like a lot of others?

Definitely @Fanatics - as a hobby shop - If you’re lucky, they offer you one case that allows you to make decent margins (30-40%) - but on a $150-200 box that’s not a lot to keep the lights on. Then… they wait to see what the price does. If it goes up, they offer you more at an elevated price and less margin. If it drops? They just offer you more at the original price, also squeezing margins. Now with no clarity or communication around breakers clients are questioning buying from shops. They will literally kill card shops, but maybe that is the point ?

@jimcontrarian @Topps @NBA Other way around. If an artist had something on a billionaire, do you really believe they would use it to create…trading cards? MR needs to stop exploiting & deceiving through the Fanatics monopoly

@KelCards83 All 4 of the cards you posted in this photo are nicer than any single Topps card. Licensed or unlicensed, this is what cards should be

Finally a chance for VJ autos - This product will be stupid expensive even without Flagg even though it's unlicensed. To be fair it doesn't look too bad in previews.

@EricCThompson @JoshInnesShow They buy everything only to destroy it. As someone who holds gear & memorabilia to heart, what Rubin & Fanatics are doing to the industries/hobbies is truly shameful AF. Shop from team stores to have the least involvement with them.

Fanatics is possibly the worst thing to ever happen to sports gear

Meet Michael Rubin He turned $2,500 in Bar Mitzvah money into Fanatics, a $30 Billion sports powerhouse. Born in 1972 to a Jewish family in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, Rubin showed entrepreneurial drive early. • At 12, he started a ski-tuning shop in his parents’ basement. • At 14, using his $2,500 Bar Mitzvah money as seed capital (and a lease signed by his father), he opened Mike’s Ski and Sport in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. By 16, he was $120,000 in debt. He settled with creditors using a $37,000 loan from his father—on the condition he attend college. He briefly attended Villanova University but dropped out after a smart deal: borrowing $17,000 to buy $200,000 worth of overstock equipment at a discount, then reselling it for $75,000. He sold his ski shops and launched KPR Sports (named after his parents’ initials), a closeout company for overstock athletic gear. • By age 21 (1993), KPR hit $1 million in sales. • By 1995, it reached $50 million. In 1998, Rubin founded Global Sports Incorporated, which became GSI Commerce—a major e-commerce and logistics player. In 2011, at age 38, he sold GSI to eBay for $2.4 billion! eBay kept the fulfillment business; Rubin bought back the consumer brands at a bargain, including Fanatics (licensed sports merchandise), Rue La La, and ShopRunner. He became CEO of Fanatics and focused on scaling it aggressively: • Secured major partnerships with Nike, NFL, MLB, and over 900 leagues/teams. • During COVID-19 (2020), repurposed an MLB uniform plant to produce hospital gowns and PPE. • Raised big funding rounds: $350M (2020, valuation $6.2B), more in 2021, then $1.5B + $700M (2022, valuation hit $31 billion). • Expanded into trading cards (acquired Topps for $500M in 2022) and betting/gaming (launched 2023). From a teenage ski shop to a global leader in sports merchandise, trading cards, and more, Michael Rubin’s journey is a classic American Jewish entrepreneurial success story built on hustle, smart deals, and Values.

Ask MLB how it’s gone for them. Ask NBA fans if the numbers stay on the jerseys they heat press. They are about quantity & really hate you the consumer. They (Fanatics owns Topps) will advertise the ‘hottest blue xfractor cards’ & then tell you 4 months later that they didn’t print them and that you can return them, but they don’t see a difference in value. Private equity of sports essentially.

@Nesterp99 @ToppsSupport @Topps @CardPurchaser At what point is it false advertising? “Good luck chasing the blue xfractors…because we didn’t make any!” Don’t know if I can even trust them returning the cards & I’m now at the point where I will never buy @Topps again because of this incident.

@KelCards83 To lighten the load, you might as well not send the players on old rosters in. Players in old unis (even though they had a new home by July & got rookies correct) & forgetting to print the aforementioned ‘Blue’ cards on the box 🤦🏻‍♂️ what a horrendous job. It’s insulting.

Topps@Topps·
We’re following up regarding the 2025–26 Topps Chrome Basketball Mega Boxes and the packaging language that referenced “Chase Exclusive Blue X-Fractors.”   We’ve heard feedback from some collectors and, based on that input, have decided to make Blue X-Fractors referenced on the packaging available to collectors. While we do not believe there is any value difference between silver and Blue X-Fractors, we understand some collectors prefer the blue version. Topps will be printing Blue X-Fractors and offering collectors the ability to exchange silver X-Fractors for Blue X-Fractors on a one-for-one basis.   To exchange your X-Fractors, please visit ripped.topps.com/update-25-26-t… Blue X-Fractors will begin shipping by the end of March, and all submissions must be created by June 30th. Please allow 6–8 weeks for processing and fulfillment once submissions are received and approved. We appreciate the feedback from the collecting community and thank you for your patience as we work to deliver the best possible experience.
