At the rate this is going, someday soon we will all be living in the U.S.F. - the United States of Fanatics.

This. They’re taking over a lot of the hobby.

Interested to see how this works.

"Later this year, Fanatics Collect will introduce a range of new updates, including peer-to-peer trading, AI-powered concierge services, card scanning and digital collectibles."

I can only imagine it will be done between cards in their vault. I'd be beyond surprised if they tried to facilitate any trades outside of it.

The only thing shocking about this news in that it took this long for PWCC to rebrand.

I had a few conversations within and outside the hobby on this news. Outside the hobby, I have heard that auction houses outside of Sotheby's are now "Dead". Obviously that is not true. Within the hobby, there is a lot of skepticism as to how targeting cards over $100k would work. Obviously that is a very competitive, relationship driven market, and often times they come at deeply reduced rates. To be honest - and this is just me speculating - if you are Sotheby's, and you are used to commissions much higher than sports cards, are you really going to sell a card at a -10% rate for $100k? And, if you are a collector, do you trust them over the typical sports auction house route? I think it will take years for Sotheby's to establish themselves, and maybe then will they be super competitive. I see this news as nothing - for now - but curious how it looks in a few years.
