Topps could also continue to exist as a much smaller company. They don't just automatically go bankrupt. Again as recent as 2019 the revenue from candy was as large as cards. They probably will sell the baseball card ip at some point, but people keep acting like all their revenue was baseball, it wasn't. They're still doing over 200M a year in candy revenue.

It sounds like they will have NFL and NBA license sooner like 2022? So they can establish brand. But it will be strange to have no baseball cards for a few years. Maybe Fanatics just buys out Topps contract since Topps won’t be able to make cards with MLB players anyway
