I think you hit it on the head..."troubled asset".
This was a get out plan if I have ever saw one. It's just my thoughts, but buying like this gives me pause on not expecting anything other than "chapter" followed by one of 3 different numbers in a press release concerning Fanatics in a little more than a decade.
I expect a TPG buy also and BGS would not be out of the picture. You can see that already in the history of Topps Vault. They have already sold Beckett slabbed 1/1s, proofs, blank backed and whatever else they could drum up in the past. The new release slabbed 1/1s and proofs would often get listed multiple times just to get a starting bid price. It's an idea that will fizzle quickly.
