This isn't going to end well for the hobby IMO

Not necessarily, They were a publicly traded company until Eisner bought them, I used to own stock in them. So I wouldn't expect anything to change.

I honestly thought they were floundering until then. Maybe not money wise but in the whole baseball business (other sports too but I didn't collect them). Did anybody really like the Topps period before Eisner bought them? I actually did and still do prefer Upper Deck so I was never really a big fan of Topps.

They’re definitely taking advantage of the comeback in the hobby during the pandemic. Couldn’t be better. Not sure of the impact to us as collectors.
