A market that is already incredibly inflated with the air slowly seeping out expected to 5x over the next ten years as more and more licenses are being gobbled up by a single entity which can't even handle Star Wars correctly. Um, okay.

To add, is the growth coming from more and more people buying in or the people who have bought in buying in more?

The OGs (users with more than 10k posts) have always been very skeptical about any changes in the hobby (I'm new here, but I've been collecting basketball cards for +20 years). I agree that the OP article's projections are based on invalid data, but still, it seems that the overall feelings towards the potential growth of the hobby are viewed rather negatively by everyone who is replying here (been seeing a similar attitude through the years, especially from the people who have been in the hobby for long time).

Fanatics (Michael Rubin) statement about the potential to 10x the hobby has actually some valid bases in my opinion. There is a huge amount of people who love sports and spend a lot of money on season tickets sneakers jerseys etc. related to their favorite players. And they have never been introduced to the sports cards (zero marketing from Panini or any other production companies).

We saw the effects of some of the influencers like Gary Vee introducing the hobby to their audience, now considering the size of Fanatics client base and the marketing money behind them, it's not even comparable in terms of reach and a potential number of new people entering the hobby.

They are not 10x the hobby.

The hobby was all over ESPN MSNBC WSJ when everyone was stuck at home during the covid. The growth during that period was probably 70% of the people that were inevitably going to start buying cards over the next 10 years.

Who are all these new people that are suddenly going to become collectors?

I am sure fanatics will 10x production and will sell cards at 711 gas stations and anywhere else that will allow them but that isn’t hobby growth.

Rubin and the fanatics geniuses bought in at the top. Go look what Bitcoin, Tesla, Jordan Fleer ect were priced at when they bought in. Or what inflation and interest rates were. They also gave up ownership in the deals.

They are going to rape and pillage collectors just like they are trying to do to panini now.

Buy a fanatics t shirt and wash it once. If you are still excited they are going to be the only manufacturer of cards there is something wrong with you.

Boom.

Limitless growth.

[discodanman45]

Investors and even young kids are getting into vintage cards because the ultra-modern product is mass produced and numbered cards have lost their meaning. I don't see where this growth is going to come from. However, I hope it happens in the new products since I want the demand in vintage cards to fall so I can get great deals.

[90sbasketballin]

Just hope Fanatics is able to create a healthy balance between generating a profit and overproduction. If they are able to reach their target audience and get them to spend money on sports cards, that would be great for the hobby as long as there's control and managed scarcity.

I mean, just look at Panini right now. Prizm and Select are being milked to the point where you can pick up base rookies for next to nothing. Retail shelves are readily stocked, and if you luckily pull a Paolo Prizm base rookie, you end up getting $1 for it.

Lol! Fanatics massively increased print runs of Topps 2023 Series 1 flagship baseball (when Topps had already been steadily increasing print runs) as soon as they took over control of the product.

This page estimates that there are over 150,000 copies of each base card in flagship and I see no reason why Fanatics won't apply that same logic to other sports.

“ The hobby was all over ESPN MSNBC WSJ”

That’s not obviously it, the hobby experience is important to get new passionate collectors, I’m sure Rubin has figured that out and they have the resources to make it happen at huge scale.

They invested too much to try to just milk it dry like that.

Doesn’t matter. Consumer spending is dominated by the wealthy. And it’s not going to be the wealthy class that shrinks. The divide between the haves and have nots will continue to grow wider.

Unfamiliar with the other sports and what's going on there, honestly, so I didn't notice, but I hope they can differentiate between which products they want to massively overprint and which they want to limit.

Although Panini has frustrated me, I have to admit that they did make some big strides within the industry.

Is this kind of like the rise of the box breaker culture?

How people who couldn't afford to buy exquisite or NT rising up and buying single spots at a fraction of the cost and ending up with nothing but feeling like they had a chance to participate.

My chatbot says more people are leaving the hobby than coming in.

The 90s were easily 10x what it is now.

Straight online gambling is a lot easier.

But only non-collectors will die.

Or something like that.

Because buying cards is now mainstream cool as told to us by the influencers.

Similar collecting situation for me too. I don't see a 10x, but a 3-5x over 10 years is possible.

[Leggo]

Honestly, Its a guessing game. I do think it is very possible to 10x, is it likely? no. But hell, people were spending bonker money on athlete NFTs... If someone can spend thousands of dollars on virtual items, imagine what they would spend on something tangible lol (jk...kinda).

Singles need to go up and wax needs to go down for this to happen tho IMO.

Generally speaking, no. The less money you make, the more likely you are to spend the next dollar you receive on consumption.

A guy making $30k a year will spend the $30001st dollar. A guy making $5m a year will probably choose to invest the $5000001st dollar.

[Nomad]

that accounts for $1 at least.

Two macroeconomic factors worth discussing....

1) Student loan repayments are starting up again in October
2) Total US credit card debt is at an all-time high

So at some point in the near future, discretionary consumer spending is going to slow.

What impact that will have on the hobby, I don't know.....but given that there are a lot easier ways to gamble than to buy into breaks, I bet on the hobby shrinking if I was a betting man (and I'm not).

Part of it is they're thinking internationally, expanding into Asia etc. But everyone knows they bought at the peak during the pandemic boom, with easy money driving the market to new highs -- it's not likely to get bigger than that.

I don't know where you got your 70% figure from, but you make a very good point -- the pandemic boom suddenly moved up the timetable for hobby growth. A big part of it was just people looking to make a quick buck, but part of it was people discovering or rediscovering the hobby. This was driven by social media and traditional media outlets. A lot of those people got burned by influencers pumping-and-dumping cards, and they may be gone for good.
