Prices are way too high and hit rates are way too low... streamers are getting tons of the new products early and ruining it for actual hobbyists

[@CardCityCollectibles]

Correct and it's only gunna get worse. It's no longer a hobby and is now no different than stock investing mixed with casino gambling. This model pays huge for those at the top and upper middle and everyone at the bottom to mid tier gets crushed. Retail has been destroyed due to all the distributors getting put out of business and Hobby has been trash for awhile pricing out consumers for awhile now . Breaking has excellorated normal investors , normal rippers or hobbyist collectors out of the market with all the biggest hits being pulled within 1st 48hrs of products launched befor it's even delivered to normal folk who ordered said boxes. Add in corruption and shady stuff on back end from breakers getting all the loaded products, distributors that are left selling cases off the truck instead of delivering products and shops no longer getting the desirable boxes on launch and it's a total shit show. That's not even taking into account the panini vs fanatics war that's nuked the industry overall. Whole things a hot mess and that's not even talking grading company issues on top. 👎🤦

and when Fanatics owns all the licenses you’ll have to go through them to get anything of value which they WILL make you pay for it e.g. “The best is yet to come” for our companies revenue!

[@Eaglesfan220]

How can you grow the hobby when majority of kids cannot afford the packs that give any kind of return with any longterm hold value because of the mass print runs and ridiculous amount of parallels that just over saturate the market? The hobby is driven by gambling degenerates and box breakers buying up all the products and inflating box prices that the average consumer cannot afford.

[@anthonyb9436]

Legalized gambling for kids - this is NO hobby; it’s a billionaire money grab allowing social media Breakers to do free marketing by providing them with no allocation limit to product while not supplying the LCS’s with any product in comparison; and need I have to go into the multiple versions of inserts which these companies attempt to make you feel like you are receiving some sort of value!

[@e.blasick4265]

Ryan, I get that people in the industry, especially hobby stores, are in fear of losing their accounts with Fanatics but why have him on if you're not going to ask important questions like : - where does your store, and others stand going forward? -why are stores getting their allocations cut to shreds? -what happened to "the hobby stores are the backbone of this industry" when costs are sky high to where there really isn't much meat left on the bone for stores to profit? -is your goal to basically be e-commerce only once you have monopolized the industry in the next two years? -do you feel selling a product like Triple Threads Baseball at $500 a box is conducive to bringing more "collectors" into the hobby or at least keeping the ones you have now?

[@jackemerson1171]

Yeah not exactly a hard hitting interview

[@jttollison7773]

After hearing him talk i couldn't agree more. But theres one problem why is it so hard for a LCS to buy direct so all of those things he mentioned can be done.

[@TheCardDeal]

LCS are having allocation trimmed with every release is what I hear.

[@RAG718]

WOW! i dont know who this CEO guy is but I do hear the name Fanatics at every show I go too and I got a feeling that absolutely NOT one question you asked are the ones the people wanted to know about ......... ask the real questions man....step up ur game for realz!!! ttyl

[@Lebron23to6]

How funny would it be if the Skenes debut patch auto is in the box behind Mahan?

[@fatpacksphunter9702]

You got to open a pallet of chrome to get enough buyback for a box of Draft 😂😅😢

[@Jaybelleshhb]

Remember when he was getting kids at his trade night to chant Topps and beg Mike Rubin to come to Ohio …. And then fanatics/Topps gives him a henchmen over a Skype

[@Yo_hio_sportscards]

While I think we’ve seen some improvements with Topps I’m not sure they are as collector focused as they claim. Flagship products like Series 1, 2, Chrome, Update, and Chrome Update continue to go up in price and the Debut Patch is a wonderful innovation it is in the wrong product. Those patches should be in Dynasty which is already expensive and the consumer knows that. The secondary market for update chrome has ruined the collectors experience. $400 for a hobby and $800 for a jumbo is ridiculous. We are seeing push back on Bowman and Bowman draft as well.

[@alexheaysman5573]

Let’s goo love the videos

[@jackemerson1171]

I heard nothing about CT scanning and real game worn patches

[@robertmurphy399]

Have they announced the printing of MONOPOLY cards? Should have told this guy to take the blinders off and welcome him to Junk Wax Era 2.0 officially.

[@carlosherrera-ke1ju]

Ryan, is this the first interview the channel has done like this?

[@steezysteven8722]

Would be cool to see your ticket collection!

[@afineproduction3745]

Early for this one!

[@lizdonahue7545]

I is the future

[@downsouthcardclub4591]

I understand having something for every collector in the hobby but for me it's about value I can afford a $138 for a top's update baseball hobby but when I can't even get a card that's worth $20 where's the value I hope topps/fanatics helps fix the hobby And pricing Right now I am currently scared to see what Marvel hobby boxes are gonna come out for next year skeptical but hopeful

[@motorunion]

Look like FAKE interview!

[@Jaybelleshhb]

Thought the same thing lol

[@StarMaker_7]

not bad good interview

[@jackemerson1171]

Meh

[@michaelvinokur2585]

[@wesd832]

The Fanatics guy's audio is so bad. Embarrassing.

[@OPTICXPROTOTYPE]

Topps is far from perfect but way better than panini in my book

[@deathbycards]
