growing the hobby
Fanatics Collectibles is relentlessly focused on improving the collector experience and further growing the hobby with sports fans and partners around the world.
The combined vision and distinct strengths of both Fanatics and Topps continues to improve the collector experience, while maintaining vital parts of the hobby. Fanatics’ data-driven, direct-to-consumer expertise, which includes a database of more than 100 million sports fans globally, further enhances and expands upon Topps’ existing digital capabilities. Topps’ world-class quality, product development, and manufacturing capabilities, along with their commitment to collectors and hobby shops, further ensures products are more readily accessible, positively impacting current and future collectors and partners.
product innovation
The history of trading cards is a history of creative and disruptive product innovation – from the introduction of autograph and memorabilia cards to the adoption of new printing technologies. Today, Fanatics Collectibles continues to build upon this history by creating unique experiences and product offerings that only Fanatics can deliver.
A great example of this is the Major League Baseball Debut Patches - the first-ever memorabilia made in partnership with a professional sports league specifically for inclusion on trading cards. Starting in 2023, when Major League baseball players make their debut on the field, their jerseys will include a custom patch, which is then embedded in a highly collectible 1/1 trading card. Through this innovative offering, collectors and baseball fans alike will have the chance to own a piece of sports history.
With this new product, and many others, Fanatics Collectibles is bringing collectors closer to the athletes and sports that they love.
world-class marketing
(v-Commerce) is owning, designing, producing and distributing our own exclusive merchandise, allowing Fanatics to sell unique, specialized and differentiated products that cannot be commoditized by the Internet.
This new model has allowed Fanatics to significantly broaden its roster of global partners who are looking to grow their direct-to-consumer businesses and find a better way to meet the growing real-time expectations of their fan bases by providing incredible speed to market of merchandise across all retail channels.
