“It’s a strategic, long-term decision for the business that will allow us to further enhance and support the broader collector ecosystem,” a Fanatics spokesperson told SC Daily at the time. “PWCC has built a strong business with great tech, a leading marketplace and vault. Bringing them into Fanatics Collectibles will give us the opportunity to further build and strengthen on the foundation that exists today and ultimately deliver a lot of value to our fans/collectors.”

In other words: "We just weren't able to wash the doody smell off of the PWCC brand no matter what we did, so we are gonna relabel it and hope we get the stink out of it that way." I don't blame them for trying to salvage the brand for a year; when you step in dog shit you don't always have to throw away your shoes.

My loved one likes to say that stepping into dog poo brings you good luck. Perhaps that is what Fanatics thought when acquiring PWCC, and have now finally come to the realization a year later that they have to scrape off the dried up stuff for this luck to come.

Maybe the effect is limited to just those who are barefoot?

I am pretty sure she was talking about those wearing footwear. I believe folks stepping into it barefoot are not only unlucky, but plain just had it coming. It is especially unlucky if it ends up getting between the toes.

I suppose if the Venn diagram between the great unshod and the great unwashed were to overlap with this fact pattern, then it could become extra noxious in a hurry.
