The current state of jersey buying is depressing: (alien.top)

Wanted a Nick Chubb Browns retro jersey. $170 on the NFL team shot website. Went to a Chinese knockoff site, I could’ve bought 7 different jerseys for $170. The price difference is just insane. How can they justify pricing a jersey at $170? Do people actually buy it?

I collect baseball cards and hoo boy lemme tell you, our sub ain’t happy about Fanatics acquiring Topps last year

They’re coming for basketball cards too. I really don’t get how Fanatics is allowed to run what is essentially a monopoly on the sports merchandise and collectibles market

And Football, Bryce and Stroud signed with Topps, and get full licensing in a couple of years. They're getting a full monopoly it's ridiculous.

Although Panini also deserved a kick in the ass for how garbage they've been all around lately when it comes to releasing sets on time, getting out redemptions etc.

For sure, Panini’s quality went to shit in recent years. They just shouldn’t have exclusive licensing for sports cards. Removes any competition and motivation to provide a quality product and innovate
