Is it so hard to say something like "We have a contract with a manufacturer with a reputation for high-quality cards. You are going to see packs and boxes nationwide in stores, card shops, and of course, Fanatics.com.

'For baseball, we are planning five release featuring today's players:
- A base set of 600 cards. These are the ones you remember collecting as kids.
- An "elite" version of the base set.
- A "retro" set of 300, featuring today's top players on timeless card designs
- A "artsy" version of 300...
- Fanatics Diamond: High-End cards for the high-end collector.

'There will be variations and special inserts available in packs and boxes. And official MLBPA partners, we'll have autographs and game-used jerseys and special 1/1 releases.

'Additionally, exclusively on Fanatics.com you will be able to get digital versions of these cards and be on the lookout for exclusive, one-of-a-kind NFT's. And for those who purchase physical cards through Fanatics.com, you can have them graded for free - and even put them up on our Fanatics auction site at a rate far lower than other online auction houses!"

......whatever man, that's just my pipe dream. I just want to be able to buy an annual complete set of base cards.
How well does Topps do even announcing checklists?

Fanatics doesn’t have to say a thing, and that’s ok.
