A few posted some recent signings of Athletes to a card manufacturer. It got me thinking at what point does an Athlete outweigh the licensing of the team, leagues? For athletes like MJ, LeBron, Messi, Kobe, Lewis Hamilton etc. I don't care as much as having something licensed vs. something from the athlete of a pivotal race/game. Don't get me wrong, I think having it all (licenses, logos etc) will still be most desired, but I can see more athletes going direct to community to offer experiences and signed items.

Couldn't not r/p r/t here. 🔥🔥🔥

Ochocinco gives a teaser, of new Topps Cosmic product, with fresh stacks of autos and patch/autos.

Great to see the legend is going to have about 100 hits in this product. What are you hoping to pull?

I'm personally, VERY excited about the Topps takeover of NFL. It'll be great to see a resurgence in Topps premium set values and the base Chrome cards, and relive some of my childhood days.

It's all here, it's all here for the taking baby, we just gotta go out and get! LFG fam LFG. #colormatch #veterans #Bengals #serialnumbered #LetsSee!!
