According to Foresight News: The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has ended its partnership with Italian collectibles company Panini SpA three years ahead of schedule and has entered into a collaboration with digital sports platform Fanatics. The agreement grants Fanatics the exclusive rights to produce NFLPA-branded trading cards, effective immediately.
Fanatics has previously secured licensing deals with MLB, NBA, and NFLPA, and acquired another trading card company, Topps, for $500 million. In January, Fanatics announced its intention to sell 60% of its shares in sports-focused NFT company Candy Digital to Galaxy Digital.
